Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.86/day in the week to Aug 10 → 4.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

J'ai eu l'occasion de faire ce jeu après Dispatch et il n'a pas de quoi rougir. Drôle, touchant, il fait partie de ces jeux qui me laissent un fort sentiment d'aventure et de nostalgie lors du défilement du générique de fin, en repensant au voyage qui vient d'être vécu. Je prends le parti de ne pas en dire plus afin d'éviter toute autre forme d'influence que le simple fait de (très fortement) recommander ce jeu les yeux fermés aux amatrices et amateurs d'aventure et de jeux narratifs !
For me, Tales from the Borderlands has got to be one of the biggest surprises in the whole series. Instead of focusing on loot and shooting, it tells a story-driven episodic adventure that ends up having some of the best characters and writing in Borderlands. The game follows Rhys and Fiona, two very different characters who get dragged into a messy treasure hunt on Pandora. Their back-and-forths are genuinely funny, and over time the group starts to feel surprisingly believable and likable. The humour is still very Borderlands, but it feels more natural here and less forced than in some of the main games (no character is unbearably annoying, and there are no cringe-worthy quips). Also, one of the best additions, and a surprisingly fresh character, is Gortys. She's genuinely one of the most sincere characters in the series, always optimistic, with a childlike personality, in a world of mostly sarcastic, cynical, or completely insane individuals. One of the strongest parts of the game is her ever-evolving relationship with the rest of the cast, as over the course of the game, all start treating her less like a machine and more like a real person and companion. One of the best parts is how the game handles Handsome Jack. Even though he is not the main villain this time, he completely steals every scene he is in, again. His mix of charm, arrogance, and instability still makes him one of the most entertaining and memorable characters in the franchise and the one villain all future games try to recreate but never quite succeed. The atmosphere also works really well because the game slows things down enough to show more of Pandora’s world and people. Instead of nonstop combat, you spend more time with conversations, corpo-politics and rivalries, and character moments. The soundtrack deserves a lot of credit too, especially the intro songs, which became one of the game’s trademarks. The biggest downside is that it barely feels like a traditional game sometimes. Most of the gameplay is dialogue choices and quick-time events, so players looking for Borderlands-style combat might get bored. Still, if you enjoy story-focused games, Tales is easily one of the best-written and funniest entries in the series and one of Telltale’s strongest games overall.

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 12: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game.

What I didn't expect from Tales from the Borderlands was how much emotion it would have underneath all the jokes. I think Tales from the Borderlands is one of Telltale's strongest games because it understands something incredibly important: you don't need complicated gameplay to make an adventure memorable. Yes, it's funny. Sometimes ridiculously funny. But what makes the game work is that the humor is balanced with genuine character development. You start out laughing at these ridiculous people and eventually find yourself actually caring about what happens to them. There's no endless loot grind or traditional shooting. Instead, you get an interactive comedy-adventure with an excellent cast of characters and some genuinely hilarious situations. The biggest strength is the characters. Rhys, Fiona, Vaughn, Sasha, and the rest of the cast have enough personality that even the smaller moments are entertaining. The writing is funny without relying entirely on the usual Borderlands humor, and the relationships between the characters give the story a surprising amount of heart. Tales from the Borderlands is funny, creative, surprisingly emotional, and filled with characters that are easy to remember. For me, it's not just a good Borderlands spin-off—it's one of Telltale's best adventures. Enjoy :)
Шикарное сюжетное приключение.
the story is good, it has a mix of comedy and realism to it. i think that this game is really worth getting.
they/them
At first, I thought this was going to be boring. But what a fantastic game and story! It has a lot of emotional moments. If you're getting into the Borderlands series, I suggest playing BL1 and 2 first. You don't have to, but you'll see the broader picture if you do and learn more about the characters.
[h2]Nota Geral | Overall Rating[/h2] ⭐⭐⭐⭐ [b]Tales from the Borderlands é, sem dúvida, o melhor spin-off que a série já teve, mesmo sendo um jogo completamente diferente do que os fãs de tiro e loot esperavam. A Telltale pegou o universo caótico de Pandora e transformou isso em uma comédia de aventura com personagens carismáticos e diálogos afiados. O jogo entrega ótimos personagens e uma trilha sonora surpreendente, mas peca justamente onde eu esperava mais: no enredo, que é competente, porém está longe de ser memorável.[/b] [i]Tales from the Borderlands is, without a doubt, the best spin-off the series has ever had, even though it's a completely different kind of game from what fans of shooting and loot were expecting. Telltale took the chaotic universe of Pandora and turned it into an adventure comedy with charismatic characters and sharp dialogue. The game delivers great characters and a surprisingly good soundtrack, but falls short exactly where I expected more: the story, which is competent, but far from memorable.[/i] [h2]Jogabilidade | Gameplay[/h2] ⭐⭐⭐ [b]A jogabilidade segue a fórmula padrão da Telltale, com QTEs e escolhas de diálogo ditando o ritmo. Aqui, pelo menos, existe uma tentativa de dar um pouco mais de identidade ao gameplay com os momentos alternando entre Rhys e Fiona, cada um com sua própria perspectiva da história. Funciona bem para variar o ritmo, mas mecanicamente é o de sempre: você aperta o botão na hora certa e escolhe a resposta que combina com o seu personagem. Nada de revolucionário.[/b] [i]The gameplay follows the standard Telltale formula, with QTEs and dialogue choices dictating the pace. Here, at least, there's an attempt to give the gameplay a bit more identity by alternating moments between Rhys and Fiona, each with their own perspective on the story. It works well to vary the rhythm, but mechanically it's the usual deal: you press the button at the right time and pick the response that fits your character. Nothing revolutionary.[/i] [h2]Duração | Duration[/h2] ⭐⭐⭐ [b]São 5 episódios, mantendo o padrão de 8 a 10 horas da Telltale. A duração é justa para o que o jogo se propõe a contar, mas não sai muito do lugar comum. Dá pra terminar em um fim de semana sem grandes esforços, e o fator replay existe por causa das escolhas, mas não é algo que te prenda por muito mais tempo do que isso.[/b] [i]There are 5 episodes, maintaining Telltale's standard 8 to 10 hours. The length is fair for what the game sets out to tell, but it doesn't stray far from the norm. You can finish it in a weekend without much effort, and there's some replay value because of the choices, but it's not something that keeps you hooked much longer than that.[/i] [h2]Enredo | Story[/h2] ⭐⭐⭐ [b]O enredo é bem mais ou menos, nada memorável. A premissa de dois oportunistas de Pandora tentando dar um golpe é interessante no papel, e os personagens carregam boa parte do peso com seu humor e química, mas a trama em si não surpreende muito ao longo do caminho. É divertido de acompanhar no momento, mas não é daquelas histórias que ficam na cabeça depois que os créditos sobem.[/b] [i]The plot is pretty average, nothing memorable. The premise of two Pandora hustlers trying to pull off a heist is interesting on paper, and the characters carry a good part of the weight with their humor and chemistry, but the plot itself doesn't offer many surprises along the way. It's fun to follow in the moment, but it's not one of those stories that stays with you after the credits roll.[/i] [h2]Visual[/h2] ⭐⭐⭐ [b]O visual segue o padrão da Telltale, que já é datado, mas ainda assim tem seu próprio estilo. A estética cell shaded combina bem com o tom de quadrinho e humor do jogo, e as cores vibrantes ajudam a diferenciar Tales from the Borderlands dos outros títulos mais sombrios da desenvolvedora. O problema é o motor gráfico em si, que já mostrava sinais de cansaço na época e não segura muito bem o teste do tempo.[/b] [i]The visuals follow the Telltale standard, which is already dated, but it still has its own style. The cell-shaded aesthetic fits well with the game's comic book tone and humor, and the vibrant colors help set Tales from the Borderlands apart from the studio's other, darker titles. The problem is the graphics engine itself, which was already showing signs of age at the time and doesn't hold up particularly well over time.[/i] [h2]Áudio | Audio[/h2] ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ [b]O áudio é, sem dúvida, o grande destaque do jogo. As músicas são muito boas e sabem exatamente quando entrar para elevar um momento, seja em uma cena de ação ou em um dos vários momentos cômicos da dupla de protagonistas. A dublagem também acompanha esse nível, com um elenco afiado que entrega o timing certo tanto para o humor quanto para os momentos mais sérios. É o tipo de trilha sonora que você lembra bem depois de terminar o jogo, mesmo esquecendo boa parte da trama.[/b] [i]The audio is, without a doubt, the game's biggest highlight. The music is really good and knows exactly when to kick in to elevate a moment, whether during an action scene or one of the many comedic beats between the two protagonists. The voice acting matches that level too, with a sharp cast that nails the timing for both the humor and the more serious moments. It's the kind of soundtrack you still remember well after finishing the game, even if you forget most of the plot.[/i]
porfavor necesito amigos que lo hallan jugado, es el juego mas perfecto y precioso que existe y eso que soy una persona exigente en todo ambito, esta magestuosidad audiovisual jugable hizo de mis ojos las cataratas del iguazú, no tengo las palabras suficientes para explicar lo mucho que senti y empatize con todos y el susto que me pegue por sasha, porfavor comprenselo y hablenme los voy a amar, TELLTALE GAMES STUDIOS TE AMO DOY MI VIDA Y MI ALMA POR VOS
Such a well written story continuing what Borderlands 2 and Borderlands The Pre-Sequel did. The gameplay was fluid and the choices really proved that they mattered later on. The soundtrack was excellent, both the episode opening cinematics and use of tracks from the original games were spot on.
