One of the best games Telltale has put out, with an amazing cast full of talented voice artists, a fun story that expands the Borderlands world in interesting ways, and choices that feel like they actually matter and have an impact on how the ending plays out. It's got everything you would want from a great Telltale game.
Telltale games are great ways to bloat your trophy/achievement count and this is coming from someone who plays visual novels but telltale games often fail in their story telling as a whole, this game especially. It seems like they took a visual novel, made it worse and add quicktime events. The stories are so non-rememberable that this whole review is taking apart the style cause I can only remember like one plotline
Tales from the Borderlands is a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt spin on the Borderlands universe. You play as two hustlers, Rhys and Fiona, on a wild ride to score a fortune. The story is full of twists and turns, the characters are fantastic (especially Claptrap!), and the humor is spot-on. It's not a super long game, and the choices you make don't have a huge impact, but it's a thoroughly enjoyable ride for any fan of good storytelling and wacky adventures.

Third playthrough for this game (after playing when it first came out and a couple of years ago), and man I miss this game!! It's so fun to replay without remembering a few points of the plot, I honestly forgot LB comes back and Sasha lives!
Fiona and Rhys will forever be my comfort characters, such a shame there's barely any return for Fiona since Borderlands 3 features Rhys. (Still haven't played, but I'll get to it!)
I remember playing this not knowing a thing about Borderlands, thank god I played the first one and starting Borderlands 2 before replaying this one! I can't wait to continue the Borderlands series.
And It's great to rewatch Rhys fanboy over Zer0 when fighting the Vault Monster.
And, of course, Catch-A-Ride!!!
