DS: The first episode of Tales from the Borderlands was a refreshingly funny turn for Telltale adventure games. It was also a boon for the Borderlands franchise because of how it wove a story with a property that barely had one. Telltales storytelling took a new direction through the subjective points of view of Rhys and Fiona, two souls looking to make a fortune on Pandora. With their predilection for embellishing the truth, Tales from the Borderlands non-sequitor humor stole the show for me. It set a tone and expectation for the entire series that I was chomping at the bit to experience. After playing episode two, Atlas Mugged, Im left with feelings of confusion and disappointment because the zany, madcap experience shown so eloquently in Zer0 Sum has been considerably toned down.
