'New Tales from the Borderlands' is a perfect spiritual successor

The game looks great, and one of my favorite parts was just watching the characters move in scenes. The dialogue and movement always match perfectly, with Octavio's loosey-goosey style countered by his sister's quick anxious movements and Fran's stillness in her hoverchair. It's clear the development team and cast put a lot of effort into the motion capture performances. On top of that, the settings are always covered in little touches that just make the world feel developed. As for the dialogue itself, if you know Borderlands, then you already know what it's like: dark humor and serious conversation all blend together in a soup, each standing out in its own moment without muddying the overall flavor profile.
