Game Tech: Bordering on not being a game at all
SOME games are borderline TV shows. They are more interested in telling a story than giving the player control over what happens. They border on not being ‘games’ at all.
Tales from the Borderlands falls into that category, an experience that brilliantly draws you into its witty, fantastical world — but doesn’t leave you with much to do, except enjoy the ride. This is a well-worn formula for anyone familiar with Telltale, the creators of this and many other similar titles, like Batman: The Telltale Series, The Wolf Among Us and Game of Thrones. This month, Tales from the Borderlands is free with PlayStation Plus, giving many PS4 gamers a chance to try a ‘start to finish’ Telltale formula for the first time.
