With plenty of nods to its source material and still incredibly enjoyable to newcomers, the series closes out its season on a hugely enjoyable high note. Even though I won’t get more finger gun fights, gun-pooping horses, and tons of hilarious banter, “The Vault of the Traveler” cements the fact that Tales from the Borderlands was one hell of a ride.
Was this story consistent in its delivery in any way? Nope, not at all. But the overall effect is satisfying, and I can’t pretend I was bored along the way. I don’t know that diehard Borderlands fans will appreciate this series’ approach, but it’s worth a shot if you’re into the story more than the shooting.
The game itself never froze or slowed down, but sometimes character arm and head positions would suddenly snap to where it was supposed to be instead of actually animating there. While it never impacted my gameplay, the four or five times it happened were enough to make note, especially considering how good the engine has been running until now.
