Tales from the Borderlands’ first episode is a fantastic introduction to what is sure to be an amazing franchise
Zero Sum stands tall as the ultimate point-and-click science project: combine the beloved Borderlands lore and setting with the shining vision of an artistic studio, crank up the heat, and enjoy
If you are a fan of Borderlands, you will love it. If you are a fan of Telltale Games’ previous franchises, you will love it. If you have a pulse and aren’t easily offended, you will love it

Aside from the disappointing lack of puzzles and limit on exploration, Tales from the Borderlands: Zer0 Sum is excellent. Where the first episodes of other Telltale series can start off slowly, Tales maintains high energy throughout. Its consistently funny writing and duo of unreliable narrator protagonists set the stage for a great overarching story, and it feels very much like it belongs in the Borderlands franchise. If the rest of the season maintains this level of quality, Tales from the Borderlands will be up there in history with the other great recent Telltale adventures

Telltale and Borderlands are the peanut butter and chocolate of the current gaming landscape, creating a piece that is too rock-solid in its own convictions to be labeled simply as a mashup. It's hard to even call it professional fan fiction. Tales from the Borderlands is a Borderlands game, but Telltale has opened up Gearbox's Pandora in a way the original Borderlands games haven't and can't as shooters. Through exploration of the little people struggling in the shadows of Vault Hunters, you gain a deeper opportunities to explore the world

Tales from the Borderlands Episode One: Zer0 Sum is a great start to the series. It brings Borderlands to life in promising new ways, it’s genuinely funny, and it has a terrific cast. The choices one makes are naturally not as gut-wrenching as those found in Telltale’s darker games, but that doesn’t really matter. This proves that the studio doesn’t need to rely on heartstrings to provide a quality experience, and if it keeps up this level of distinguished characterization and sturdy humor in future installments, I’d say we’ve got another episodic winner on our hands
Also, it’s got the coolest intro and theme song since Borderlands first opened with Cage the Elephant. Believe that
Polygon - 8.5
Tales from the Borderlands Episode 1: Zer0 Sum is everything I’d expected from Telltale’s take on this franchise, executed with such skill that it’s hard to find anything to complain about. This first episode of a five-episode season never went more than a few minutes without moving the story along or making me laugh. It’s an enjoyable, violent and well-crafted introduction to the series. Episode Two can’t come soon enough
