Tales from the Borderlands (PS4);
Interactive adventure (rather than the previous Borderlands FPS) game by Telltale Games set in the Borderlands universe.For anyone familiar with Telltales previous games ie Walking Dead,Wolf Among Us etc this is the similiar dialogue driven (where your choice of answers reflects your relationship with colleagues & people you meet), Part click & point with splashes of Quick Time Events (QTE's) thrown in.You play as both Rhys (A Hyperian employee) & Fiona (a con-artist) as there paths meet up by chance but they both have the same objective obtain a Vault Key.
As anyone familiar with the Borderlands games they are fooking bonkers as this game carries that tradition & is very witty at times.There is one crazy moment in the game where you play as Rhys who has to infiltrate a sleeping bandit camp to obtain the removed face (skin pizza they call it in the game) of his former boss that one of the bandit's is wearing (think Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre).
The game is divided over 5 chapters where each chapter is about 2 hours long (10+ hours game length) with an absorbing & witty storyline.This game is also pretty easy at getting trophies & getting Platinum 100% (if your trophy obsessed like me on the PS4).
A good game overall that does suffer at times from one of gamings cardinal sins; Unskippable Cut-Scenes (Grrrrrrrrr !). 7/10.
