As I said, I enjoy the banter, but he's still the least interesting character. He seems like he'd be a pretty ineffectual traitor, and as a friend, he's largely just Rhys' punchline. I feel like I'm supposed to distrust him, but I'm just not worried about him. Vaughn, meanwhile, is still just sort of. The good news is that I fully expect Tales from the Borderlands to get better, and there’s lots of interesting stuff to resolve: Rhys is dealing with a hallucinatory Handsome Jack, who is the funniest part of this episode, and Fiona and Sasha still have to deal with Felix’s betrayal. Maybe it wouldn’t bother me on a controller, but I don’t like jamming my keys to death so that a character can hold onto something. In this award-winning universe created by Gearbox Software, experience the story of Rhys and Fiona, unwilling partners on a quest. Summary: On the unforgiving world of Pandora a Hyperion suit and a con artist embark on an adventure to recover cash they both think is theirs. It’s the most puzzle-like thing it has done in a while, but not a puzzle-just annoying.Īnd, of course, mashing ‘Q’ is still a vital part of the game. Generally favorable reviews based on 29 Ratings. And finding the circuits is busywork I thought Telltale was expunging from the adventure genre. You can nudge it around, but if you can’t see what you’re trying to find, you have to back out to third-person and clumsily steer Rhys somewhere else. Getting the camera to point at the place you want to look is a struggle. As Rhys, you have to scan the ground from a first-person perspective to find power conduits, then reconnect wires to power up some old Atlas tech. The walking segments are still awkward as ever, and this one includes an especially bad one. Sometimes the characters do a good job of chattering while waiting for your input, but other times Vasquez especially seems to trail off like he's forgotten who he's talking to. Long, weird pauses in dialogue make it feel like an old JRPG that's pulling audio from a disc. Episode two is also technically inferior.
