If it sounds like I’m looking for something to crab about, you might be right, but I am still underwhelmed with the beginning half of the episode.įrom a gameplay standpoint, Telltale continues to frustrate with odd dialogue timers that detract from immersion by forcing rushed decisions during meaningful conversations. Telltale seemed to go the route of “heart” rather than “brain,” which works in a sense, but meshing the two would have ultimately been more satisfying. Given a potentially omnipotent opponent, the heroes should be insurmountably clever, with excellent outs and resources used, and absolutely no deus ex machina. Telltale rushed part of the episode along and some successes didn’t quite make sense. Given the villain, some potential was lost. Not all concludes in a clean fashion, however. Without divulging too much, TftB follows an odd trajectory in terms of storytelling, but this works to its advantage.
Tales from the borderlands vault of the traveler full#
Full of surprises, tears, laugh-out-loud moments, and choices paid off (kind of), TftB wraps up the package with a pretty bow, and few strings, if any, left untied.
Let’s put the past behind us, though: as far as this review’s concerned, Telltale did the Borderlands universe justice with this finale.Īdmittedly, I went into Episode 5 with low expectations, but the writers thwarted my negativity. Although TftB faltered in the middle quite a bit, the ending almost justified the lags in quality. Left with the biggest cliffhanger to date in Tales from the Borderlands, fans (myself included) chomped at the bit for Episode 5.
