In a way very similar to what we saw in the recent Immortals: Fenyx Rising (at this link you can find our review of Immortals Fenyx Rising), the two narrators are far from reliable and will do nothing but distort the story from their point of view. The story stages precisely the meeting between the two protagonists and the way in which their paths have intertwined, in a continuous sequence of misadventures and daring situations.

The stories of Tales are told by two protagonists, Rhys and Fiona, through some flashbacks: the first, a Hyperion employee, finds himself with his best friend Vaughn embroiled in an illegal trade on Pandora in an attempt to make shoes for his rival and new boss Hugo Vasquez Fiona, a professional scammer, is instead striking a heist with her sister Sasha, which could bring them a whopping 10 million dollars. Narration and characters have been created ad hoc for the graphic adventure and, apart from a few well-known faces and the familiarity of the environments (which will delight looter shooter connoisseurs), the whole adventure is also enjoyable by newbies.

Although the story presented in the five episodes is considered canonical and takes place between the second and third installments of the series (the Borderlands 3 review, in this regard, is just a click away), Tales is a game that requires absolutely no knowledge. Yet Tales from the Borderlands succeeded in this difficult undertaking by putting together a frenetic and funny narrative but above all respectful of the original material, able to perfectly capture the ironic and hyper violent essence of the raids on Pandora (if you want to rediscover the saga, read the our review of Borderlands The Handsome Collection). After all, the Gearbox FPS seemed as far as possible from the Telltale productions, and it was difficult to imagine how a graphic adventure in an episodic format could have done justice to the narrative universe set up with the first two episodes of the shooter. Is there still room in today’s landscape for the adventures of Rhys, Fiona and the Vault Hunters? An unlikely marriageĪt his announcement Tales from the Borderlands he was greeted with some skepticism from the audience. Today, with the rebirth of Telltale Games thanks to LGC Entertainment, and the promise of new projects, 2K Games tries to have its say by re-proposing the adventure born from a rib of the popular looter shooter on Nintendo Switch. Originally released in 2015, Tales From the Borderlands for many it represented the pinnacle of the “Telltale” formula, a graphic adventure graced by a particularly inspired writing able to involve the player from start to finish, accomplices of particularly successful playful grafts and a malleable narrative structure.
