A new team of Vault Hunters is tasked with killing Jack and restoring (relative) peace to Pandora. He has taken over the Hyperion corporation, declared himself dictator of Pandora, and stolen all of the credit for finding The Vault, going so far as to claim responsibility for killing The Destroyer. This merely feels like a scene designed to sneak in one more end game statistic, though I couldn’t be sure of that because my press copy did not display the complete list of choices.|Intro = Handsome Jack is the main antagonist of Borderlands 2 and the deuteragonist of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. She is only there to shoehorn drama and tension between the two lovers, a minor quarrel that can go in different ways depending on your response. Athena’s girlfriend, for example, suddenly works with Scooter at his Catch-A-Ride shop, something that I don’t ever remember being brought up. There is a tendency for Telltale to bring people in and out only when they serve a purpose and failing to give them a proper out. On the story side, however, there are issues I couldn’t ignore. The technical issues that hurt the previous episode are thankfully non-existent. The robot’s eagerness and innocence are incredibly endearing, especially in light of the sheer insanity Pandora has to offer.
Ashley Johnson’s voice work gives a robot that can only emote with its eyes and hands a real sense of character, making her someone you want to care about. Simple as that! Gortys shines and becomes an important member of the team instead of the MacGuffin I initially thought her to be.
Note to developers: if you want to make a great game, include Patrick Warburton. The episode also sees the grand return of Patrick Warburton as Vasquez. The script is funnier too as the player is given a glimpse into the stuck up assholery of the galaxy’s most. The absurd situations Rhys and Fiona find themselves in even before they get to Hyperion are a real treat such as Rhys forced into removing a fleshy face mask from a sleeping Psycho while a bemused Handsome Jack goades him. “Escape Plan Bravo” taught me to laugh again.
