Sasha and Vaughan have some great moments in this episode (especially Vaughan), but for the most part their narrative purpose is to sit on the sidelines and provide snarky commentary. In this episode, we see Fiona show that she's willing to get her hands dirty to do what needs to be done, and Rhys shows that he's ready to make a deal with anyone at just about any cost to get what he wants. That isn't to say that the quality degrades afterward, but in those first fifteen minutes there is so much plot set in motion and the writers brilliantly hit all of their jokes, that the opening scene happens to stand out among the rest. The first scene of this episode is definitely the strongest. If you haven't played the first episode yet and don't want anything spoiled, you should check out my review for the first episode, Zer0 Sum.Ītlas Mugged picks up exactly where Zer0 Sum left off- The gang finds a map to a vault, and are staring in awe at the giant hologram of Pandora, while Rhys is recoiling in fear at the hologram of Handsome Jack that only he can see. If you haven't already guessed, I'm talking about the second episode of Tales from the Borderlands, Atlas Mugged. But I digress, let's talk about the actual game. I can't wait for one of the characters to give us a flashback where they tell us a story inside of the story that's being told by the two protagonists in the story that's being told to us by Marcus. I have a sneaking suspicion that the writers might be trying to cram as many layers into this story as possible. It takes a small step away from Telltale's usual style in favor of the Borderlands aesthetic, but I really enjoy it because it means that Tales from the Borderlands is pulling a Grand Budapest on us. But Tales takes a slightly different route by having a character tell you what happened over a roughly sketched motion comic, instead of a trailer playing back all of your choices. That's nothing new- both The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us did short recaps before each episode. Just like the intros to the Borderlands games, each episode opens with the gravel-throated Marcus Kincaid (of Marcus Munitions) recapping the story so far, and reminding you of the choices you've made. Marcus begins the second episode of Tales from the Borderlands with this gem- the first of many winks and nods to the camera that get thrown at you throughout Atlas Mugged.
