TGG says: "New Tales from the Borderlands can’t match the first game due to a less interesting story and cast of characters but it still was a fun time."
Adam Vale of The Koalition writes: It’s inevitable that at some point in your gaming journey you have or will experience heartache when a developer of a beloved game goes out of business leaving that game in IP limbo. So, when Telltale closed up shop in 2018, the big question I had was will this wonderful library of narrative point & click / QTE adventure games also disappear? Well, the answer soon became yes and no.
It's not the ultimate follow-up to Tales, but fans of Borderlands are sure to enjoy it.
Dan Rizzo says "New Tales from the Borderlands may not be as sharp as the original, but if you’re looking for a great follow-up with a fresh feel, a unique band of miscreants and something to chuckle at, then this will deliver on those fronts. My advice would be to temper expectations before heading in, and don’t try to compare it to the astounding works of Telltale’s entry."
