It’s too sweet a game to write anything bad about.
If I had to nitpick, I would say the material is there for a great story but the plot meanders a bit. It’s basically a quest to find a Macguffin, it’s funny and chaotic and a lot of the charm is due to the characters interacting with one another but as for the plot itself… it’s kind of boring. One thing leads to one thing then we’re doing something else, it doesn’t feel as tightly knit as the character dialogue in the game
Aside from a few QTE annoyances, I did enjoy a lot of the action scenes. They’re very well choreographed and provide a fun and engaging experience
I don’t hate any of the main characters, they’re like a family and even the worst people of them have a GOTG-type vibe to them that makes it fun to keep following their stories.
Obviously it’s a Telltale game so most of your choices don’t impact the plot much but it was still nice to experience this game as a narrative where you can choose what to say, the added customization options were really fun too as was the last action sequence that gives you a lot of choice on how things play out
Overall, it’s some of the best comedic games I have played and a great Telltale game. Definitely my fav for now as the only other one I have played is that disappointing Expanse one.
8/10 ⭐
It’s the only telltale game I’ve really played. I tried Wolf Among Us a couple times, but I barely made it through the first episode because it moves so slow imo. I wanted to play the Batman one, but I didn’t care for any of the characters.
I did get Tales 2 from a Borderlands bundle I got on steam a year ago, I do want to give that one a try.
umm NEW Tales from the Borderlands kinda sucks from what I have heard and I don’t think it’s developed by Telltale as well, but I would love to know how it plays out :>
One of my favorite telltale games, I agree with everything you said! The musical intros were my favorite, though I forgave some of the story because that mcguffin was the best mcguffin I’ve seen in a game 😆
Man, music intros were my fav too. Thanks for reminding me of them, super cinematic yet funny and yes Gortys is the best mcguffin haha
