"Masterful"
Two con artists each recount, in their own way, how they searched for a legendary vault on a lawless planet. Blending zany comedy and sincere emotion, the choice-driven tale surprises with its lively writing and endearing characters. An overlooked Telltale gem, it proves you can laugh and be moved at once.

Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Snapping out choices under pressure across a narrative adventure with a deliciously offbeat tone pushes you to chain the episodes just to see where this unlikely duo lands next. The biting dialogue and the twists keep the story rolling. Its interactivity stays limited, but the quality of the writing and its savage humor make every episode's end hard to walk away from.

Is Tales from the Borderlands still worth playing in 2026?
A narrative adventure from Telltale, Tales from the Borderlands unfolds a branching story full of humour in the zany Borderlands universe, following a con man and a Vault hunter caught in a scheme that goes off the rails. The brilliant writing, the biting humour and the attachment to the characters make it one of the studio's peaks. The gameplay is limited to dialogue choices and reflex sequences. An excellent narrative adventure for fans of funny interactive stories and of the Borderlands world.
