Twinfinite: Telltale seems to understand the charm and humor of the Borderlands universe much better than Gearbox. The idea shouldnt be to bludgeon players with meme reference after meme reference, but to sprinkle them throughout the game for maximum effect. Tales has a very smooth and fluid sense of pacing and hits humor notes and pulls back at the perfect time.

Assassins Creed 4 left a lot to be expected after playing through Assassins Creed 3.

It is not just Simon that thinks that, many a fan of the Assassins Creed franchise agree that 3 was not as good as it could have been, and that Black Flag had to be the game that redeems the franchise. While Simon will say that Black Flag has many issues of its own it does redeem the franchise and turns out to be a good new entry.
