Roger from Codec Moments writes: "If you have played a Borderlands game and are also familiar with past Telltale games, then you may not think a mix of the two as being a brilliant idea. Borderlands is a frantic, run and gun, loot collecting, RPG shooter that is rather light in the story department. Borderlands as a whole has always struggled with its own identity and is largely a combination of other game and movie references that work rather well with the clever comedy that is woven into their stories. But people would mostly be lying if they said they play Borderlands solely for the story. On the other side of the coin you have Telltale which is widely known for its powerful stories and characters, but weak in the gameplay. Its overuse of quick time events and button prompts can get old and pushing through the game makes way for what is usually a great tale. The folks over at Telltale Games and Gearbox Studios have joined forces and Tales from the Borderlands is an amalgamation of the two companies assets and talents, and is absolutely splendid."
42 Steam Deck-compatible games that you can get for free right now, but you'll need an active Amazon Prime subscription for most of them.
I've noticed when I was still paying for Prime that those supposed free games they give through Epic are just free games epic gives without the need of Prime. Rugrats is in the list in the article and it's available to get without Prime so that's pretty shady on Amazon's part, or maybe it's Epic being scummy.
Tales from the Borderlands (the original, good one), Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Borderlands the pre-sequel, Borderlands 2, Loop Hero, Trek to Yomi, Greedfall, Shadow of Mordor, Hard West 2, Figment 2. Some great gets there.
Amazon never give steam codes away so the steam deck link here is silly unless you are modding and installing epic launcher.
Yeah I get a ton of free games on epic, It works but having to launch the Epic browser and games though it is pain vs just using the Steam deck OS. Once the game is running no issue though,
They give away quite a few GOG versions of games though, I suppose you can just slap those onto your Steam Deck (I've done this), although it's not always ideal.
You can but it’s a pain to launch them and doesn’t it require installing windows?
You don't need windows, personally, I just download it on PC, then transfer it to the Steamdeck via network sharing or USB stick. Then you add it to the Steamdeck as a "non-steam game" like you would if you were using a PC. The only downside is if you play the game on both PC and Steamdeck, you'll have to manually transfer save files.
Supposedly you can use Hero launcher or something, but I can't seem to get the games to work after download it via GOG on Steamdeck. So manually transfer it is for me.
Telltale Games have given gamers a massive library of narrative driven games. In this article, Power Up Gaming presents you some of the best Telltale Games of all time!
Today Telltale Series has confirmed to TechRaptor that it has laid off a number of employees, while the games currently in development remain in the pipeline for the time being.
Sadly, this is Deja vu, with Telltale going through this type of thing before in 2018 - thoughts are with those affected. Games companies and all sectors always follow each other, with the bad press reducing as each new announcement is made - sad times we live in.
