Telltale has enlisted some of the best voice actors in the industry for this series. The writing and voice work remain phenomenal.
Rhys pretending he’s a commando while “shooting” hordes of accountants in a finger gun battle was completely unexpected and amazingly hilarious. Perhaps the most memorable scene though came the episode’s only extended action sequence. I found myself backing up and re-watching that section just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. It might have been the funniest scene in the series thus far.Įven the montage where the credits role early in the episode was full of gags. The “skin pizza” sequence required multiple instances where I had to pause the game until I was able to stop laughing. It was as if not having to fit in so many action sequences allowed the writers to be more creative. The humor here was better integrated into the characters and the world. Episode 3 was all about the awesome one-liners from Loader-Bot. The physical humor of shined in Episode 1. This is clearly the funniest episode since the first one, but it is funny in a completely different way than previous episodes. Their attempt to infiltrate Hyperion and steal the final part of Gortus was prime comedic material. The motley crew of incompetent crooks worked to plan and execute an Oceans-11-esque heist. This allowed Telltale to do what they do best: storytelling. The action sequences that have dominated the series took a back seat.
The most recent section of their story set in the Borderlands universe follows the same team of mostly incompetent would-be vault hunters. Now prisoners, they are forced to continue on their quest as puppets with someone new pulling the strings.Įpisode four was a bit of a departure from the formula used in the first three.
