Among the advantages observers note exciting action scenes, emphasizing mood soundtrack and opportunities for decision-making and Fiona Rees.
One of its main advantages Tales from the Borderlands - a good story that blends into the world created by Gearbox. According to the journalist from Gamespot, during the game easy to forget that the story was not written by developers of the first three parts, and the other studio (Telltale Games). And that's fine, because he adventure genre means more opportunities for the study of the plot rather than a game in the genre of shooter.
Related to this is perhaps the most noticeable drawback of the game - poor drafting of secondary characters. If Rice and Fiona performed perfectly, each has its own character and history, many of the NPCs found in the narrative can not stand with the main characters is no comparison.
However, the game was interesting, with a complex plot, rich gameplay and insane speed (events follow each other in a matter of seconds). Thus, the company Telltale Games have set themselves very high bar for future episodes. Will she be able to maintain the pace of the first part, time will tell. And yet - "Welcome to Pandora!".
