Tales from the Borderlands

I know that the Borderlands series has fallen off in popularity and that a lot of the comedic style of earlier entries didn't age well, but I really enjoyed this game when I played it and found it mostly funny, even if it was trying to contrive comedy sometimes instead of letting it happen organically.

The BEST telltale game I've ever played.
Absolutely loved this from start to finish.
Great characters who you will care about and become invested in .
Engaging dialogue and plenty of humour along with some tearful moments too.
Overall...great writing, art style and a cool soundtrack to go with it.
A must buy for any fan of Borderlands and/or Telltale Games.

I will start by saying tales of the borderlands is not so much a game but a story with interactive parts I have to say the game is a very well written story and I thoroughly enjoyed it and walked away wanting more. The graphics are a typical borderland set with cell shading and gets 9/10 and the sounds have been well in corporated to give a genuine fell and get 9/10 the story gets 9.5/10 and the game play is slightly lacking and more could be done to make it feel like you not just watching but playing overall the game gets a 9/10 because I want more and feel this type of genre could really take off.

A classic telltale game that has a bunch of options that will hopefully bring you back.

This was definitely fun all the way through. The story was fun and funny. Alll the opening credit music are amazing! Worth it!

Genuinely a really fun experience! The game features a great and unique cast of characters, all voiced by incredible voice actors. Top that off with a fun and interesting story set in the Borderlands universe, and that typical TellTale magic and you got yourself a recipe for success.

A great game full of surprises and funny jokes.
I only wish I could say the same about the sequel...

Didn't expect this kind of game to work in a borderlands setting but it actually was well done.

Humor was just right most of the time and the gameplay was the usual timed QTE's.

Characters were interesting but playing the other borderlands game before is a requirement if you want to enjoy the secondary character cast imo.

I f*cking love Telltale game!
the only negatives are that some of the dialogue cuts off before its finished and the end some animations looked a bit Glitchy.

10/10 My first Borderlands game, hope the others are this good!

Very fun albeit a tad gross at times - which apparently is in line with the Borderlines Franchise. Like with most Telltale games, gameplay is mostly limited to QTEs and Dialog choices, making this more of an interactive movie. As always some of the choices might come back to bite you, but the game allows you to replay from savepoints if you don't like the immediate outcome of a choice. Characters are fun and quirky. I had a good time playing it and will probably replay with more questionable choices later.

Genuinely fantastic and arguabley the best Telltale game ever made (and I say this as someone who adores the walking dead season 1 game)

Stacked cast, awesome story, fantastic music and filled with the good parts of Borderlands' humor. Being a Borderlands fan helps with a lot of the references and such but you don't need to have played any of them prior to this game. It was quite refreshing seeing fleshed out characters with their own progression as this can be rare in the franchise apart from some exceptions

Loaderbot is the GOAT, every scene he's in is a joy

"One of Telltale’s Best – A Must-Play!"

🕹Tales from the Borderlands is an absolute masterpiece. The story is incredibly well-written, filled with unforgettable characters, hilarious moments, and just the right amount of emotional depth. The humor is top-tier, making it one of the funniest Telltale games ever made.

Even after all these years, going back and playing through the Telltale Games series is always a treat, and Tales from the Borderlands stands out as one of the best. The choices feel meaningful, the voice acting is fantastic, and the action sequences are surprisingly engaging.

If you’re a fan of Borderlands, narrative-driven games, or just great storytelling in general, this game is a must-play. Highly recommended!

10/10 – Would con a vault hunter again💯😁

this game was way more enjoyable than i thought it'd be. but i guess that was just the power of borderlands' writing during this period. i usually like writing long, genuine reviews for games i really wanna talk about, but don't even know how much i can say without spoiling things, this game is heavily reliant on its story, after all.

idk buddy, just play it, you might enjoy it more than you expect.

Tales from the0/10
(That's "Tales from the" x10)

Pretty fun Telltale Borderlands spin-off. Like their other games, it's largely a cinematic with QTE with simple achievements for just completing each chapter. It's carried by it's charm, writing, humour and characters through and enjoyed it a lot. 9/10

A very good and quite often funny story, with plenty of choices. the animation is very good. The characters are very well written and have good stories to them. I did prefer wolves among us to this but if you like a single player interactive story, then you will enjoy this.

What an experience. As a borderlands fan this game is a must play. Gives some context for some characters in the time from Borderlands 2 to Borderlands 3. Very worth it!

Its watered down game from telltale. Most of the choices is lack of risk and mostly just illusion of choices. Cleary because we knew 3 main character will survive at the get go, so any choices we made in game cant get them execute. And most of companion cant be killed by choosing evil options, there only one companion who can permadeath. When you reach end game, all the choices only lead to whom you can recruit to fight endboss and its also detailed how to make them avaible, those give you picture none of the choices matter because only several dialoque options matter for them to be avaible for recruit at end game. Its let down from twd series where you can reach endgame with whole gang or entirely alone. But i guess this game have good stories, just lame to think liftle of the choices matter

Alright so I'm a big fan of this sort of games where you chose the plot, what characters say etc. And starting this right after finishing Life is Strange True Colors was a GREAT idea. I mean obviously it can't be compared when it comes to the storyline and graphics but also... yeah, it just can't be compared. While it's graphics and looks seemed old and crusty the plot is just ohh amazing. There was action (so much action) and lots of fun. The dialogues were hilarious sometimes. I was engaged 100% of the time. I would give up LiS any minute to play Tales from the Borderland.

After completing Borderlands GOTY I've decided to pick this game when it was on sale. My 1st telltale game.
I didn't care for it much at first. The gameplay and story were a little boring.
After chapter 3, it started to grow on me. I started to empathize with the characters, the gameplay seemed to feel more fuid. The ending was amazing. Overall, it was a good experience

10/10 great story and memorable characters

to be honest, I enjoyed playing this version of borderlands than the rest of them
and btw Scooter is a hero. Catch-A-Riiiide 10/10

As a casual gamer, I think Tales from the Borderlands is a great game. I really enjoyed the story, it was very interesting and exciting. The characters were very well developed, and I really cared about them. The graphics in the game were top notch, and the music created the right atmosphere.
I especially liked that there was humor in the game. It was very appropriate and made the game even more interesting.
Overall, I think Tales from the Borderlands is a great game that will appeal to all fans of Borderlands. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting and exciting game with a good story and characters.

Simple yet interesting game with awesome story.

it was so good and fun!!!!!! i loved da characters a lot and loved seein them on their lil adventure!!!!!!!!!!!

Very pleasantly surprised that the game's story was very good. A very engaging and heartwarming story. There's not much game play when it comes to these Telltale games, but the stories tend to very good. I had my reservations when it comes to anything Borderlands, since I am not a fan of FPS type of games, but this was another excellent story by Telltale games.

This is the funniest game I have ever played, and it isn't close. I played on a friend's computer and we argued over choices together, had an absolute blast, even to the end when we knew Rhys had botched the romance and I had him try for it anyway "because that's what he would do."

This is the game you need to play with your girlfriend who's skeptical of video games and doesn't want to waste her time, but wants to "share your interests somehow."

This was an awesome interactive option for Borderlands. Was totally worth the time.

Tales from the Borderlands stands out not only as the best of Telltale’s games but also as a fantastic addition to the Borderlands universe.

While Telltale games may seem a bit dated today—with their usual formula of choices leading to one of a few endings and limited gameplay—Tales from the Borderlands shines with its brilliant storytelling, lovable characters, and sharp writing. It perfectly captures the essence of the Borderlands franchise while also standing strong as a great standalone story that anyone can enjoy.

Somehow, Telltale managed to capture the chaotic spirit of Pandora in a completely fresh and compelling way, set after the events of Borderlands 2. Each character brings something unique and hilarious to the table, making the cast a delight to watch.

Tales from the Borderlands excels in the laugh department and it is so well executed along with the story pacing that they couldn't have done it any better.

A really nice adventure with some fun and lovable characters. I loved it!

Really good story, makes me miss Telltale Games.

Loader bot for president!

super fun, the characters are very interesting and the humor is amazing. played this the first time in 2025 and damn im having a blast

Older but better Telltale Style Borderlands.
Characters are Fun, Story is great and overall its a nice Exp.

If suggest playing this IF you want to play a Borderlands-Story and NOT "NEW-Tales from the Borderlands"

trust me bro.

A typical Telltale Games experience gameplay-wise, with “branching” (but not really) paths and QTEs everywhere, combined with some of the funniest bits I ever experienced in Borderlands franchise. Unfortunately, game also has (SMALL SPOILER, WITH OMMITED DETAILS) a death scene of one of its characters that is so stupid and ridiculous that I almost saw the writers checking off the “kill someone important to the story to raise the stakes” check on the list while watching the scene unfold. I don’t mind the idea of killing the character – it’s how and when the character died that felt insulting. Luckily, the rest of the game was enjoyable to experience, so if you like Borderlands, go for it.

Probably the best Borderlands game story wise, and one of the best telltale games of all time. Tells the story of Rhys the Hyperion company man and Fiona the con artist. 5 great episodes and the final conclusion of Handsome Jack.

A game... minus any gameplay

I had previously played a TellTale game so i knew what i was getting into, essentially hours of cut-scenes often interrupted with multiple choice dialogue options or clicking on the environment to progress to the next chapter.
However this time around, i couldn't find the story engaging. I think the main reason was the obnoxious characters.
Essentially, all the males are either clowns or creeps [or both] and all the women are sassy, intelligent girl bosses.

The overall production value of this game is excellent. But after around 6 hours of listening to this millennial humour, i had to stop before the brain rot took hold of me.

The story telling is worth more than borderland 3 story telling. i've give them that. but still need more option based for fiona romanced road like i felt she more compatible to rhys rather than sasha. or yvette is better since they in together since the whole she-bang.

Abso "freaking" lutely Badass! Wholesome ! Awesome ! Such an incredibly unrealistic stunning story! And everything that describes the series! A Biggg Shout-out to the Telltale Team!
Here's a request please bring more sequels of each series, especially the Borderlands & the Wolf Among Us.

A must play game for those that enjoyed Borderlands 1 & 2. Compelling story, not much of Claptrap bullshittery and genuine well written characters with not much garbage in between. A good 10 hour playthrough + a free 100% achievement completed game.

An amazing story driven game that outshines most if not all games I've ever played. It was amazing every moment I can only hope a true sequel will happen for this game. The plot and interpersonal relationships choices are incredible. I only wish I could play it all over again fresh. 10/10.

Amazing story and decisive choices

The best Borderlands story isn't even from an actual Borderlands game, go figure

Never been a big fan of telltale games, but this adds so much to the borderlands lore. This is the true sequel to the Borderlands 2 story before it all got messed up in 3

I enjoyed the writing and story. I received this product part of the Pandora Box collection, Gearbox was kind enough to include the game within it.

Update.
Took 10 hours to beat and wasnt a fan of the 2nd half of the game. Went from slow and simple to fast and not making a lot of sense. Still it was nice to see characters from the franchise.

Fantastic. Really enjoying it. Very faithful to the series. A couple things here and there didnt make any sense. So far my favorite character is August. My only real complaint is how you only have 5 seconds to read and make a choice and all the Atlas stuff doesnt make a lot of sense to me if you played the first Borderlands game. Im on episode 3 and Its fun. Highly recommend. I do think they did Scooter dirty though. Also if this game did take place after the ending of Borderlands 2, you would think some of the damage would be left behind but whatever. It feels odd that they mention the death of Jack but the world is the same.

great game worth a ride it's a roller coaster to sum it up in rest. and i also like the Rhys and Sasha thing going

Tales from the Borderlands is a fantastic Telltale game, filled with emotions, humor, and memorable characters. A must-play for fans of storytelling and the Borderlands universe!

Pros: subtitles available, nice soundtrack, style & presentation, you can select any episode from the start, interesting characters & good voice acting, you switch between two main characters, decisions you make affects the game, multiple chapters in an episode, episodes are about 2 hours long, awesome ending

Cons: the game first launches in low resolution, basic graphical menu, locked at 60 frames per second, no borderless window mode option, quick time events, lip sync is a bit off sometimes, I noticed a bit of missing audio, some dialogue options expire too fast, it does not tell you the choices stats page like in The Walking Dead series at the end of each episode

Overall, likely to be the best Telltale game ever (& not to take anything away from their The Walking Dead series). The entire game takes about 10 hours to complete. Great characters & awesome story, what more could you ask for?
Tales from the Borderlands has my highest recommendation.

I absolutely ADORE this game. I loved it when I watched someone play it online yeaaaars ago before I had a PC, and I love it even more now that I've played it for myself. It's more of a narrative adventure with some QTEs than a normal game, but either way, it rocks. The characters are so fantastic and I laughed my ass off more times than I can count and even shed a few tears at the end. I ADORE all the characters, and I loved getting to know everyone throughout the game. Everyone felt like family at the end and I love that!!!!

Only good game Telltale ever made aside from the first walking dead season.

This game was really fun, so glad its back up for purchase again.
Its got the characters, charm and world building of a Borderlands game, but with decision making and role playing elements that let it stand on its own two feet, and not be some shoddy tie in. A nice interactive change of pace for the Borderlands saga. Would really recommend to people looking for a good 13 hours of fun

I give it 8/10
