No prior understanding of earlier books is needed.
Hello! I'm interested in visual-novel games such as Life is Strange and Telltale's Game of Thrones, and 'Tales from the Borderlands' offers an engaging sci-fi setting. I'm a bit unsure since it seems to be part of a bigger series, so I wanted to know if prior knowledge of earlier titles is needed or if I can follow the story without playing them first. Thanks, Aereldor.

. The Borderland titles aren't particularly challenging in terms of plot, more so in the action-packed gameplay. The unique characters make it easier to adapt if you haven't played before.

It's unclear if this game is truly connected to the borderlands universe, as it feels more like a standalone story-driven point-and-click experience. Witcher 3 didn't really serve as a smooth transition from Witcher 1 or 2, making it a less fitting introduction to the series. In fact, some might argue it could be a weak start for the franchise.
