Bitgod Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Looks cool. But I'll have to play the first one first. So I'll get this when it's cheap some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Game Information Game Title: New Tales from the Borderlands Platforms: Nintendo Switch (Oct 21, 2022) PC (Oct 21, 2022) Xbox Series X/S (Oct 21, 2022) PlayStation 5 (Oct 21, 2022) Publisher: Take-Two Interactive Review Aggregator: OpenCritic - 75 average - 73% recommended Critic Reviews COGconnected - 92 / 100 Quote New Tales from the Borderlands is immensely entertaining, exceptionally well written, and acted with pitch-perfect attention to character. Twinfinite - 4.5 / 5 Quote If you love the previous game or just are really craving a good giggle, New Tales from the Borderlands is most definitely a must-play title for you in 2022. I happily give this one a rating of 4 and a half skateboards out of 5. Checkpoint Gaming - 8.5 / 10 Quote New Tales from the Borderlands could have played it safe by using characters from the well-established universe that people know and love. However, Gearbox Quebec's decision to create a whole new bunch of ragtag characters that connect so clearly with Borderland's existing humour, art style, and lore has really paid off. New Tales from the Borderlands isn't a gameplay-heavy game, but the visuals, narrative, and the way the character's personalities are so well-developed kept me riveted and surprised. With what Gearbox has created here, I wouldn't be surprised if we see even Newer Tales From The Borderlands in the future. Atomix - Spanish - 83 / 100 Quote In resume, you don't need to know everything about the Borderlands franchise to enjoy this installment, since it remains an independent plot from what is seen in the main games. And for those who are already familiar, it is clear that they will enjoy it more because of all the winks and references that they will find along the way. Everyeye.it - Italian - 8.3 / 10 Quote New Tales from the Borderlands amused us, excited, even moved us at times GamesHub - 4 / 5 Quote As a slower-paced story, it lacks the action and zaniness of its predecessor – but by opting for a quieter, more intimate tale, New Tales from the Borderlands carves out a deeply heartfelt, character-driven adventure that highlights the power and potential of friendship in a barren land. GamesRadar+ - 4 / 5 Quote Simultaneously both full of heart and unapologetically in-your-face, it takes everything you loved about its predecessor whilst gently – almost invisibly – buffing the things you didn't like so much, too. What a treat. GamingBolt - 8 / 10 Quote New Tales from the Borderlands is a safe, risk-averse sequel that gets more right than wrong. God is a Geek - 8 / 10 Quote New Tales from the Borderlands is a worthy successor to Telltale's magnum opus, with great writing and an engaging story. Hardcore Gamer - 4 / 5 Quote As stated in the opening, New Tales from the Borderlands doesn't top the amazement of the original game. Screen Rant - 4 / 5 Quote New Tales From The Borderlands does right by its predecessor, telling a heartfelt, hilarious story within Borderlands' rambunctious, irreverent world. Wccftech - 8 / 10 Quote The best thing you can say about New Tales from the Borderlands is that it makes you appreciate just how good the folks at Telltale Games were at what they did. While Gearbox’s latest is more technically impressive than Telltale’s series, stale, irritating characters, a slapdash plot, and choices that don’t feel like they matter turn the game’s brief runtime into a slog. These Tales are new, but they’re definitely not improved. WellPlayed - 8 / 10 Quote With a narrative that offers more hits than misses, New Tales From The Borderlands is a modern, gorgeous glimpse into what the nobodies of the Borderlands universe get up to on their shittiest days. Spaziogames - Italian - 7.9 / 10 Quote New Tales from the Borderlands opens up another vibrant, extremely fun and mad exploration of the Borderland's universe, with a second round of episodes even better than the first. Gamepur - 7.5 / 10 Quote New Tales From the Borderlands brings a humorous, exciting, and dramatic story that furthers the Borderlands universe. Stevivor - 7.5 / 10 Quote There's a lot to love here for fans of the franchise and fans of the genre alike... provided you have room in your heart, and schedule, this time of the year. GGRecon - 7 / 10 Quote "While New Tales From The Borderlands doesn't quite reach franchise heights, it succeeds at providing an entertaining and whacky Borderlands experience." Game Informer - 7 / 10 Quote Ultimately, New Tales From The Borderlands feels like more of the same and fans of the first are likely to enjoy this, but given it’s been nearly eight years since that first one, I wanted more of an evolution. GameSpot - 7 / 10 Quote Gearbox Studio Québec's follow-up to Telltale Games' Tales from the Borderlands is a fun space western, featuring a story with a compelling start and strong conclusion. IGN - 7 / 10 Quote Gearbox's New Tales from the Borderlands successfully recaptures the charm and humor of Telltale's original adventure-game spinoff of the Borderlands first-person shooter series, but its attempts to stretch out the gameplay and the story don't fare as well. TheGamer - 3.5 / 5 Quote New Tales from the Borderlands' smaller-scale focus on three 'nobodies' and their relationship with each other makes this a tale worth hearing. Press Start - 6.5 / 10 Quote New Tales from the Borderlands, as a spiritual successor to Telltale's series, is a cavalcade of peaks and valleys. It expands on the franchise's complex lore with a terrifically produced five-episode stint that will, for most, be a one-and-done experience that sadly fails to iterate on or improve the tired formula these types of games all rode into the ground. IGN Italy - Italian - 6.3 / 10 Quote Apart from some nice insane gimmicks and a valuable graphic-artistic sector, New Tales from the Borderlands is far from the levels of its predecessor. IGN Spain - Spanish - 6 / 10 Quote New Tales from the Borderlands offers a satisfying experience within the Gearbox universe, with its characteristic sense of humor as its flag and main triumph. However, its lack of ambition and uninspired gameplay detract from the overall experience. Destructoid - 3 / 10 Quote If you’re asking my opinion, don’t play New Tales of from the Borderlands. One More Game - Buy Quote Overall, New Tales from the Borderlands is a great addition to the series, and despite switching developers, it hasn’t skipped a beat. Borderlands fans will certainly enjoy the many references that will get you past the fact that you can’t fire too many guns in this one. Even if you’re not a fan of Borderlands but enjoy story-centric Choose Your Own Adventure books and games, basically titles like any of the old Telltale releases, you’re in for a treat. The game feels distinctly more Gearbox now than Telltale – not necessarily for better or worse, but it’s a more refreshing version of the game genre that can easily get stagnant if not done right, and New Tales from the Borderlands is hilarious world-building and storytelling done right. Polygon - Unscored Quote I genuinely liked New Tales From the Borderlands and its characters. I only wished their stories had a little more time to breathe. Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Unscored Quote You wait 8 years for a sort-of sequel to your favourite Borderlands narrative adventure game and when one finally turns up it's an unfunny disappointment Washington Post - Unscored Quote Much like my time helping the original cast of “Tales from the Borderlands” find their meaning in life, I enjoyed the experience of helping Anu, Octavio and Fran change the world.
