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.
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.
A welcome sequel to the original Tales From The Borderlands, that negotiates the franchise's loud mouth humour to deliver a surprisingly nuanced and intelligent slice of interactive storytelling.
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.
If you’re asking my opinion, don’t play New Tales of from the Borderlands.
Tales From The Borderlands is a very funny interactive story, with a great sense of humor and very interesting characters, at the height of this universe. However, the action sequences are not well resolved and all the dialogues (many) are kept in English.
