New Tales from the Borderlands Reviews
I must say that I have massively enjoyed New Tales from the Borderlands. The comedic dialogues, graphics, interactions, and of course storyline, are each fantastic! It will certainly capture not only the hearts of Borderlands fans around the world, but also appeal to new players far and wide.
New Tales from the Borderlands is immensely entertaining, exceptionally well written, and acted with pitch-perfect attention to character.
If you love the previous game or just are really craving a good giggle, New Tales from the Borderlands is most definitely a must-play title for you in 2022. I happily give this one a rating of 4 and a half skateboards out of 5.
New Tales of the Borderlands is a worthy successor to the original Telltales games. We feel the evolution of the adventure-narrative style. For some, the game may be redundant or less original, but overall 2K and Gearbox gave us a quality game. Despite the busy time of year for new releases, if you like the genre this should be on top of your list.

New Tales From the Borderlands blends silliness and madness to deliver a totally hilarious experience, and it works in almost every way.

New Tales from the Borderlands could have played it safe by using characters from the well-established universe that people know and love. However, Gearbox Quebec's decision to create a whole new bunch of ragtag characters that connect so clearly with Borderland's existing humour, art style, and lore has really paid off. New Tales from the Borderlands isn't a gameplay-heavy game, but the visuals, narrative, and the way the character's personalities are so well-developed kept me riveted and surprised. With what Gearbox has created here, I wouldn't be surprised if we see even Newer Tales From The Borderlands in the future.
New Tales from the Borderlands amused us, excited, even moved us at times

In resume, you don't need to know everything about the Borderlands franchise to enjoy this installment, since it remains an independent plot from what is seen in the main games. And for those who are already familiar, it is clear that they will enjoy it more because of all the winks and references that they will find along the way.

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.
New Tales from the Borderlands is a worthy successor to Telltale's magnum opus, with great writing and an engaging story.
New Tales From The Borderlands does right by its predecessor, telling a heartfelt, hilarious story within Borderlands' rambunctious, irreverent world.
New Tales from the Borderlands' story, characters, and visuals trump a lack of genre innovation.
With a narrative that offers more hits than misses, New Tales From The Borderlands is a modern, gorgeous glimpse into what the nobodies of the Borderlands universe get up to on their shittiest days.
As stated in the opening, New Tales from the Borderlands doesn't top the amazement of the original game.
New Tales from the Borderlands is a safe, risk-averse sequel that gets more right than wrong.
As a slower-paced story, it lacks the action and zaniness of its predecessor – but by opting for a quieter, more intimate tale, New Tales from the Borderlands carves out a deeply heartfelt, character-driven adventure that highlights the power and potential of friendship in a barren land.
At about 10 hours, New Tales from the Borderlands is a solid successor to the first title under Telltale, and its story has all the right emotional beats. I cannot count the number of laughs the episodes drew from me, but towards the end, the game's uneven pacing was hard to ignore. Paired with its stale quick-time events, there is more New Tales from the Borderlands to improve on, but this sequel is a step in the right direction.
New Tales from the Borderlands is ultimately the worthy continuation of a dream pursued a few years ago. As well as being further proof of maturity on the part of Gearbox Software, it is a demonstration of how important it is to build a good story on certain occasions. Net of a gameplay that doesn't innovate much, we are in front of a production that is a must for every fan and, who knows, even for those who can't do without the Borderlands universe.

New Tales from the Borderlands picks up exactly where the first game left off: An incredibly charming cast of protagonists, the dumb Borderlands humor with gags at every turn, and a completely stupid and therefore no less fun storyline. The game is bursting with charm and, especially from the point of view of every series fan, certainly gets an enormous sympathy bonus.

New Tales from the Borderlands opens up another vibrant, extremely fun and mad exploration of the Borderland's universe, with a second round of episodes even better than the first.
