For anyone who doesn't know yet: it's not a game per-se, it's more of a interactive movie, really. Some sentence choices, some (rather arbitrary) clicking, some bare-bones 'secrets', various paths through the main story, etc. Put it like that, it doesn't sound like much, but this one is written by someone who knew their job very well—great sense of humor and Borderlands tropes galore. I really recommend if you like the latter. You will feel at home. Word of a warning, though. Although the game offers some replayability, sorta', it's almost incredibly short for its kind. And guess what — it ends with a cliffhanger. One that baits you to 'finish the story' by spending more bucks on another installment. Someone could argue that it's packed with action and twists and all, but even so, this would've left a somewhat bitter aftertaste if I have bought it for the full price. I don't think that 20 EUR is justified for those 3-4 hours worth of an 'interactive movie' that is not even ending properly. (My acc says 8,3 but I often forget games on afk, so it's far from the actual gameplay time)
It's not exactly Walking Dead, and it's not exactly Borderlands. But if you enjoy one or both of those, you should love this game. It still keeps in a lot of Borderlands elements (inventory, loot, humor, etc.), while still playing like the familiar Telltale point-and-click adventure. The first episode offers a lot (about 2 1/2 hours if you look around), and you're immediately latched to the characters. You know about everyone's motives about the second they show up, and know if you like them or not. The writing is still Borderlands-style, so you may get more for your mileage if you're familiar with the series, but it's very well done. It's not full of boner jokes (yet), but there's still the silly stuff in there. The game relies a bit more on the inventory like Sam & Max than Walking Dead (still no combining items again, though) ie. Fiona's character uses cash that can directly influence conversation, whereas Rhys's lets him scan things to let you learn more about the world, and sometimes find items. Which works well from being based on a game centered on loot. All-in-all -- it's humorous, well-writ, suspenseful, and most of all - good. If you're hesitant in any way, you could pick up on a sale, but as a fan of Telltale and Borderlands it was worth every dollar. And I'm sure even non-fans would enjoy the ride this game gives you.
When Walking Dead is full of sadness and depression Wolf Among Us is full of mystery and dangerous detectivity Game of Thrones is full of shocking moments and regrettable choices that make you think if you did something wrong or too wrong Then Tales From The Borderlands is full of laughs and good time, with fun gameplay where you do not regret every second your choices and have a joy while playing it.
