![]() That is perhaps the best thing about this game: there is depth of writing and characterization that we just don’t get in most video game scripts, even the more story-driven ones like The Last of Us. The characters are well cast, well written and more lifelike than anything seen in a Borderlands game before. Set between Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3, Tales From the Borderlands follows Hyperion executive Rhys as he learns about life on Pandora. This game is essentially a miniseries set in the Borderlands universe and good god they nailed it.

While this entry is lacking in the co-op gun-slinging that the series is known for, the change of pace is lovely.Įnjoying our Tales from the Borderlands Switch Review so far?

I usually dislike quick time combat (looking at you, Resident Evil 4) but these are probably the best I’ve ever experienced. ![]() The combat quick time events are simple and forgiving, but still manage to feel exciting. These events are few and far between, thankfully, as some of the walking segments are a bit tedious. ![]() The bulk of Tales from the Borderlands takes place in cutscenes, so the gameplay is limited to quick time events, dialogue decisions and short snippets of walking/looking-for-items. This entry in the series is different and that’s a good thing. Instead of grinding out levels and doing side quests, you’ll spend this time on Pandora choosing dialogue options, participating in quick-time events and soaking up a good story (for once).
