#Tales from the borderlands game genre series#
Every other line was delivered sarcastically, the hilarious character introduction screens the Borderlands series is known for were cranked up to another level.
While small jokes were inserted into other Telltale series, Tales from the Borderlands used humor as its biggest calling card. Not only is there a layer of drama to Rhys and Fiona’s quirky quest for a Vault Key, but Telltale was finally able to show the audience that tension isn’t their only talent. Its second episode, Atlas Mugged, brings us more of the same, and while it doesn’t necessarily hit quite as hard as Episode 1, it’s a brilliant continuation to what is rapidly shaping up to be the best adventure game in quite some time.Įpisode One set the scene for not only the ridiculous double-narrated story at the core of Tales from the Borderlands, but it also established its heralded tone. The first episode of Tales from the Borderlands was equal parts hilarious, gripping, dramatic and arguably the strongest debut in Telltale history. It’s a supremely interesting title that will be forever viewed as important and wonderful (if you can call a truly depressing game wonderful), but its reign as the best Telltale offering might just be coming to a close. It changed the way the industry views episodic gaming, its heart-wrenching story brought thousands to the brink of tears and it reinvigorated the adventure game genre. Okay, we get it, the first season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead was really good.
