Tales from the Borderlands
Telltale Games is known for their decision-driven storytelling, where the choices you make throughout the game will affect later aspects. With titles like The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Game of Thrones under their belt, they’ve had no shortage of drama to adapt in recent years. Tales from the Borderlands, however, allowed them to flex their dormant comedic muscles last seen in 2010’s Back to the Future and 2009’s Tales of Monkey Island.
With direct support and collaboration from Gearbox Studios and 2K Games, Telltale used everything they’ve learned from games past to craft an action-packed, laugh-out-loud, gut-punching, hilarious and surprisingly touching ride through Pandora like you’ve never seen it before. Main characters Rhys and Fiona are flawed and fantastic, and their journey in Tales from the Borderlands is in the top tier of Telltale’s full catalog.
