That is, until Jack, at his conniving best, shares his plans for the future with Rhys. With the second Gortys piece secured at Episode Four’s conclusion, and Jack as the built-in AI of the Helios space station, returning to Vallory as company president seems fairly straightforward. With the presidential position of Hyperion on the line – something Rhys had strived for leading up to Episode One – saying no is a tough choice. Episode Five: The Vault of the Traveller mixes story, emotion, action and humour to brilliant effect, where all your seemingly unimportant choices from previous instalments finally mean something.Īt the conclusion of Escape Plan Bravo, Handsome Jack gave Rhys a proposition one which players either accepted or refused. I laughed as per normal but was almost reaching for the tissues at one point.The season finale of Tales From The Borderlands had all the work to do and, holy crap, it delivered in the best way possible.
The occasional conversation does deliver the humour we’ve come to expect from the world of Borderlands whilst also chucking in the odd dramatic moment. Finding room for dialogue amongst the action seemed a difficult task for Telltale Games but when they did, it had to have meaning. This did however open up a slight plot hole, where there wasn’t any kind of explanation given for the appearance of a character that we last saw in major peril.Īs much as the story rounds itself off neatly, there was so much to fit in this one episode that it came across slightly crammed and rushed. For this finale, it has never been clearer, as a specific event will require a call for reinforcements and depending on whom you’ve burnt bridges or built strong relationships with, you may be left facing limited options.
When a series that’s driven by your own choices comes to an end, you want to be able to notice the difference that certain decisions have made to proceedings.
The characters have all evolved in some way the main ones, Rhys and Fiona, are finally realising their potential with a little begrudged help from each other. Take Loader Bot for example, it’s just a generic robot yet Telltale Games have given it a personality as strong as any other characters, whilst creating a unique bond between it and the humans. Due to the steady character development across the series, the player can laugh with these characters and feel for them, experiencing the same or similar emotion because of the attachments made over the year.
