The dialogue is a mixed bag and I’m still not entirely sure how to consider it. There’s also a slew of supporting characters, with some notable voice actors behind them, which really help to make this story stand out from the rest of the series.įor starters, these guys wouldn’t even be worth XP to a Vault Hunter. There’s Rhys, a Hyperion ladder climber with ambitions for lofty corporate positions, and Fiona, a con-artist who always has her next payday in mind. In the meantime, however, the first episode is mostly used to introduced the cast of characters who will inevitably break my god-damned heart because I know what you’re like, Telltale Games.

While only vaguely hinted at, there’s potentially some major consequence to the storyline for the rest of the series – a prospect that has me giddy. So far, it seems like a fun little romp through the extended lore of the Borderlands universe. There are cameo appearances from previous characters, including the titular Zer0, and veteran players of the franchise should be pretty comfortable in familiar surroundings. However, that isn’t to say there aren’t enough details and appearances to keep long-time fans of the series happy. Even better is the fact that we’re getting a close-up perspective of how the inhabitants of Pandora actually inhabit, giving a unique narrative angle that hasn’t been explored as of yet by the franchise. The story fits in fairly well with the rest of the Borderlands universe without relying heavily on the player having prior knowledge of the story for the series. Rather than following the exploits of incredibly powerful vault hunters, TftB focuses on the somewhat squishier and more human residents of Pandora. It’s still a Telltale Games version of Borderlands, which is rad.
Tales From The Borderlands (TtfB) Episode 1: Zer0 Sum has me cautiously optimistic for the rest of the series, TTG just has to drop some development baggage first and we’ll be set. As with any established world which is being handled by someone other than the creator, however, there’s still a teething and adjustment stage to get through. I’m also a pretty big fan of Borderlands’ story in general, so I had some pretty big expectations of this game going in. Between the end of Walking Dead Season 2 and that of Wolf Among Us Season 1, I’ve missed Telltale Games’ unique genre of click-your-own-adventure games. Gosh I’ve been hanging out a long time for this, now.
