Critic Reviews for New Tales from the Borderlands
Gearbox has tried to match the pace and storytelling style of Telltale's Tales from the Borderlands but falls short with a rushed story and uninspiring characters.
New Tales from the Borderlands has stellar voice acting and a solid script, but stumbles with pacing.
Gearbox's New Tales from the Borderlands successfully recaptures the charm and humor of Telltale's original adventure-game spinoff of the Borderlands first-person shooter series, but its attempts to stretch out the gameplay and the story don't fare as well.
New Tales from the Borderlands' smaller-scale focus on three 'nobodies' and their relationship with each other makes this a tale worth hearing.
Simultaneously both full of heart and unapologetically in-your-face, it takes everything you loved about its predecessor whilst gently – almost invisibly – buffing the things you didn't like so much, too. What a treat.
Ultimately, New Tales From The Borderlands feels like more of the same and fans of the first are likely to enjoy this, but given it’s been nearly eight years since that first one, I wanted more of an evolution.
Gearbox Studio Québec's follow-up to Telltale Games' Tales from the Borderlands is a fun space western, featuring a story with a compelling start and strong conclusion.
As stated in the opening, New Tales from the Borderlands doesn't top the amazement of the original game.
