New Tales From the Borderlands offers a story is quirky and comedic with decent replayability due to its dialogue choices. The trio of protagonists actually have flaws that they work on leading to some decent character arcs and the game is smooth as silk in the exploration. Where it really lets itself down is the lack of any resolution to a previous storyline and the overabundance of QTEs. If they also had the really enjoyable side characters make more of an appearance, it would have also help flesh out the world.
Destroy all Humans 2: Reprobed is a short, fun game full of references, silly moments and stereotypical humour. And that’s exactly why we enjoy it. I mentioned earlier about looking through the lens of nostalgia glasses, well, I may still be looking through the glasses, but the lenses aren’t as thick as once thought. The game isn’t perfect, no game is. But while it lacks in a thrilling story or long gameplay, it makes up for in the comedy that keeps giving us a good chuckle.
With a legacy spanning almost 13 years, does Wonderlands live up to its predecessors? Yes, but also no. The combat in the game is seriously fun, the guns are responsive and the inclusion of melee weapons was the best thing they have done since the inclusion of Handsome Jack. But it also felt too easy. It was too easy to find a build that would allow a player to breeze through the game on a normal setting, especially being able to multiclass and take the best traits from two classes. It turned most enemies into little more than rats of an unusual size. The game lacked the challenge that the other games provided. While the chaos chamber does improve that, one can only run the chamber for so long before you’re completely kitted out.
