My not so official-official review of the New Tales From the Borderlands
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!
So not that anyone asked for this but I wanted to share my thoughts on NTFTBL.
This is just my opinion. I know there’s people out there who enjoyed the game and there’s other people out there who didn’t, not trying to ruffle any feathers
I want to start off by saying that I think the game had a lot of potential story wise and I think a lot of fun things could’ve been done with it.
Overall however, I found the story to be lacking in a lot of areas and I thought the dialogue was stiff and overall just… wasn’t all that funny even when they were trying to be funny.
It really felt like the writers ignored a lot of the lore. I was really really disappointed to see them throw pre-established lore out the window regarding Sirens and the Eridians as well as destroying Rhys’ character.
I really wanted to like the protagonists but I found it difficult and honestly Octavio annoyed me a little bit but I was still irritated to find out that he DIES???
You’re telling me a space craft plummets to Promethea and only ONE of them dies? How do only two manage to survive let alone any of them? To have only Octavio die It just felt like they didn’t know where to take Octavio’s story so the best solution was to kill him off. it felt like lazy writing as did a lot of the other writing in the game.
There was also supposed to be this story line about Susan turning PEOPLE into GUNS I guess but it’s literally not mentioned a single time in the entire game.
I really would’ve liked to see Timothy in this game, or even other characters from previous games that was more than the VERY brief moments that Sasha is mentioned, you see Fiona at the very end of the game and Athena is apparently the CEO of Hyperion?? (I’d like some backstory on how that happened because wtf).
That being said there were parts of the game I enjoyed!
I really liked the vault landers and the battles were a lot of fun but I do wish characters from the Pre-Sequel had vault landers too, it feels like TPS is forgot about a lot and that bums me out because it’s such a fantastic game.
I thought the customizations were fun, with the ability to change outfits, customize Anus tech goggles, Frans wheelchair and Octavio’s Echodex which made it feel more like a borderlands game and less of an interactive story which I liked!
The mini games were also fun when it came to hacking things and I thought it was very creative.
Lor 💕💕
Overall I was really disappointed with the game, and I’m glad I bought it when it was on sale instead of paying full price for it because I don’t think it was worth that much. The game had potential and I think the writers could’ve done more and I hope that the next Borderlands game feels more like a borderlands game.
