It consistently delivers actual belly laughs over its ten-hour running time, manages to convincingly portray its core protagonists' emotional journeys, does a strong line in romantic subplot and, what's more, it does all of this whilst giving fans of its source material plenty of returning characters, lore and a healthy dollop of the series' signature gross-out humour to indulge in.

From the opening moments of episode one to the grand finale of five, Tales from the Borderlands absolutely excels at creating a take on this universe that's chock full of entertaining action and populated by well-written characters you'll actually grow to care about. With this in mind, you would think that a purely narrative-focused adventure spin-off set within this self-same universe would be something we'd most likely not enjoy but, with Telltale Games at the helm, this is a world transformed.

Yes, these games still more than manage to succeed thanks to some top-notch shooting and looting action but, in terms of comedy - in terms of narrative and the characters that populate the badlands of Pandora and beyond (Claptrap, we absolutely loathe you) - we've never been particularly, or really even remotely, impressed. If there's one aspect of the full-fat Borderlands FPS experience that we've really never seen eye to eye with, it's 100% the irritatingly loud, brain-rattlingly puerile attempts at humour that hammer you over the head during every waking moment you spend exploring its uniquely-styled wastelands. If you've yet to experience this one, believe us, you're in for a treat.

Having been removed from most digital storefronts all the way back in 2019 as a result of the studio's closure, Tales from the Borderlands was relaunched on PlayStation, Xbox and PC in February of this year now it finally makes its way to Switch in a port that sees all five episodes of this excellent space adventure released in a single essential package. From The Wolf Among Us to Batman: The Enemy Within, The Walking Dead to Guardians of the Galaxy, this was a studio that singlehandedly brought about a resurgence in the popularity of the genre in which it so excelled and, of all the many top-notch titles it released up until its closure in 2018, Tales from the Borderlands is absolutely in with a shout as perhaps the best of the whole darn bunch. The tragic demise of Telltale Games really is quite a bitter pill to swallow when you take a step back to fully consider the brilliance of its multi-award winning back catalogue of choice-based adventure games.
