#Tales from the borderlands game over stuck series#
Of course, if you’ve made it this far into the series and need convincing that you should play the fifth episode, then we have larger problems here. Everything from the fates of pretty much every notable character to the identity of the mysterious nomad holding Rhys and Fiona hostage in real time is revealed, but what makes The Vault of the Traveler shine is the fact that no unveiling feels shoehorned in. After all, when you consider that the entire series up to this point has shined largely due to its comic unpredictability, it’s no wonder that this story wouldn’t end in pure chaos. The insane space-heist that our team undertook seemed to fail right as they managed to locate the final piece of Gortys (who remains the cutest thing since puppies were invented), but, of course, this wouldn’t be Tales from the Borderlands if everything went according to plan. When we last left Rhys, Fiona and the rest of the gang, they were pretty much done for after Holographic Handsome Jack managed to inhabit Hyperion’s electronics. Long story short, you need to play this game. Yes, we all feared that Tales from the Borderlands would be the franchise that suffered as a result of Telltale’s intense new workload, but it ended up turning into a tribute piece to the adventure game studio’s undeniable talent. Not only is it likely the funniest game since South Park: The Stick of Truth, but its gripping story make it one of the best choices for a game you introduce someone to the medium with. While Telltale’s latest quest for the critical crown may be thwarted by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and (potentially) Fallout 4, Tales from the Borderlands has ended on such a wonderful note that arguments for this being the best game of 2015 will probably need to be heard. Bear in mind, this is the same developer that created a game in The Walking Dead: Season One that would have run away with practically every Game of the Year honor had it not been for Journey and Far Cry 3.
Pretty much every one of the previous four reviews for Tales from the Borderlands‘ first 80% suggested that it was on the fast track to becoming the best game that Telltale has produced to date.
