With Tales from the Borderlands though they have been much more experimental, and this opening scenario is a perfect example. Telltale has been criticized before for not really letting your choices change the narrative, only offering cosmetic differences before bringing things right back to the status quo. The last episode left the player with two choices as far as who to trust with getting out of the life-threatening scenario. ‘Catch a Ride’ picks the story right up where it left off in Episode 2, with our dual heroes and their allies in a seemingly impossible situation. However, things don’t always, or ever, go according to plan, and the four have found themselves fighting off bandits, dealing with various foes, and just having to contend with life on rugged Pandora. Along for the ride are various friends and allies, with Vaughn, a Hyperion accountant, and Fiona’s sister Sasha rounding out the main foursome.Įpisodes 1 and 2 set things up perfectly, putting our unlikely heroes on the trail of one of Pandora’s fabled Vaults, which are full of alien artifacts worth billions. You take on the double role of Rhys, a salaryman looking to make his way through the Hyperion hierarchy, and Fiona, a Pandora-born grifter. In case you’re just joining things, Tales from the Borderlands takes place after the events of Borderlands 2, with the death of Handsome Jack still looming over the heads of everyone at Hyperion and on the planet Pandora. However, Telltale has pulled it off once again, and while it might not be the best episode in this already fantastic series, it is certainly a worthy continuation from its predecessors. Heading into Episode 3 there were a lot of concerns that it might not be able to maintain its momentum, especially with the protracted wait times between each new entry.
This series has been one of Telltale’s more consistent efforts, both in storytelling as well as gameplay features. The continuing story of Rhys and Fiona speeds through the halfway point with Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 3 ‘Catch a Ride’.
