It took time for Tales from the Borderlands to express its full potential, but it finally happened, and what you get is a story worthy of your time, since in the end every piece of the puzzle gets to its rightful place.

That ending is just fantastic, the coclusion to the characters is so good, the final battle is done in a very clever way to make use of the choices u made, the plot twist are very good, this is my second favorite episode telltale has ever made

If you're reading these reviews to decide whether or not to buy or try it out then let me help: BUY IT! NO SPOILERS: I personally would give this game a 10 but it isn't for everyone. Telltale games are played and moved along like an animated graphic novel (but with decisions that you make along the way). Don't be fooled by this style of game though. You want action? Got it Excitement? Yup You want your choices to impact the future - Totally Deep well written characters - It has loads Variety? Of course Graphics that look great but can be played on a potato - Yep Epic finale that does not let you down - Ah-huh and a roller coaster journey through an beautifully created world - Damnit, yes! I could easily go on. Whether you've played the original or not does not matter - there are 'in-jokes' but they are so few that anyone who has never played a Borderlands game before would not even notice. Brilliantly told twisting story line - emotional roller coaster - and a ton of laugh out loud moments! Verdict: Buy it !

From belly laughs to heart-wrenching despair, Tales From The Borderlands has had it all. It's absolutely Telltale's best series to date, and it's entirely fitting that this finale is also its greatest episode.

I’ve enjoyed every moment of it, moreso perhaps than I have with any mainstay Borderlands game, and I can’t wait to return.

In my opinion, this is currently the best Telltale game series. It's about as perfect as a borderlands adventure game can be, and one of my favorite adventure games of all time up there with the likes of Grim Fandango. Oh and hey, CHOICES THAT MATTER! What a concept!

A success, and the last chapter of what is probably the best adventure series ever made by telltale. Tales from Borderlands is truly an amazing romp in the world created by Gearbox, that closes perfectly with this last episode.

As a story-based game, it features some of Telltale's best writing to date and its humor separates it from the developer's more recent efforts. It also features a shocking amount of replay value and actually made me want to play the finale more than once to see the various character interactions, as well as find any little things I might have missed.

If you can get invested in the characters and their bizarre circumstances, it’s a good use of your time.

The ending of Tales from the Borderlands is worth it. All key characters get the closure they need, and even though there are still some flaws in the game that we have been mentioning at every episode now, the finale is amazing.

The whole Tales From The Borderlands series was the best Telltale game I've played yet and I have palyed all of them. Its funny, its tense at moments, it has fantastic music and the final episode is close to perfection. I cant think of anything there is left to improve with this episode. Thats why it is a 10/10 in my opinion.

This has got to be my favourite Telltale game ever and I played The Walking Dead season 1 Only Telltale can take an already immersive world that is Borderlands and put something of its own into it, just like they did with The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, but not so much with GOT They made original and refreshing characters that you cared about and related to and it made you cry and feel sort of empty inside when you had to say goodbye to them. They made a story so interesting and emotional that Gearbox allowed it to significantly affect the Borderlands universe ( you know what I'm talking about ). Voice acting is simply superb, the music is fitting and memorable and every element of this game is just perfect. Thank you Telltale for this amazing journey and experience, for making me feel like I haven't felt in a while.

This series is perhaps my favorite movie-game from Telltale. Its quirky. Its dark. Its funny. Despite the game has 1 ending, you get to choose how your behavior is with Rhys and Fionna. The casts are lovable. Vaughn is just a badass accountant. The only thing disappointing about this movie game is the romance and I hope this gets addressed if Season 2 is ever made.

I haven't written a review for anything on this site for years, but after playing this I feel entirely obligated. I am a huge telltale fan and an even bigger tales from borderlands fan. Not only is this the best episode in Tales from Borderlands, I think its the best episode in any telltale endeavor, and thats saying quite a lot. All plot lines are wrapped up neatly and nicely, even the aesthetic choices have meaning and the balance of humor and intensity is perfect. Better yet, It sets itself up for a VERY interesting season two. If you ever doubted this telltale franchise, give it another chance for the sake of getting to this episode. If you haven't given these types of games a shot yet, tales from borderlands is the perfect place to start and this episode is really something to look forward to. It goes to show how well written and humorous this series is, as outside of telltale, I'm a much larger fan of ASOIF, Fables and The Walking Dead. But really, this is the best of the bunch in my opinion.
SummaryIn the final episode of the season, all hell is breaking loose. Jack is now in control of Helios' systems, and he is ready to reclaim his rightful place as king of Hyperion - with or without you. It's a mad dash to get out of the chaotic space station alive, as everyone scrambles to grab the final Gortys piece and high tail it back to Pa... Read More
