I was honestly hoping for the"Remastered" (or at least an episodic packaged version free for old owners) version being released on Steam as on the Xbox One/PS4. Since today would be the day to market something like that--and they didn't--I'm guessing that it will never come to Steam.

All I can say about BTTF is that it's Back to the Future Part 4. Instead of being a movie, you get an old-school adventure game. And even if you do not like Adventure Games or you have never watched a BTTF movie, I would still recommend this game.

(I played this game before watching any of the movies. Also, this was my first TT game and the first Adventure Game I wanted to finish on my own. I loved it.)

I don't feel the need to review Back to the Future as in-depth as Tales from the Borderlands. It's an old-school puzzle game with TellTale's dialogue variation system. That means puzzles, puzzles, puzzles--and no QTEs--only more puzzles and laughs. But if you enjoyed the humor of TFTB, you'll probably enjoy BTTF for what it is as well.

The puzzles can be a little too cryptic at times, but they have a sense of self-awareness and a sense of direction to keep you from getting completely lost. I still don't think they're all as great as Grim Fandango, but you won't be doing anything absurd like in the old King Quest games.

The only downsides I should mention, besides you have to install every episode separately and open the next episode as a new program, is that being an earlier TT game the controller is not the best option to play with. Perhaps the Remastered version fixed it, but you should stick with a KB&M.

Also, don't go in expecting a choice-simulator game like recent TT games. This is a game before The Walking Dead became their new formula.

You have variations in dialogue, superficial ones, and there is no deviation on your paths. I don't think this is a negative, but it is something people will expect from TT. I prefer BTTF to stay the way as it is as the characters remain consistent. Some characters from the film's cast return to their roles (Christopher Lloyd as Doc) while others have great imitators (David Kaufman as Marty McFly.)

The first two episodes are a little slow and full of fanservice, but midway into EP 2 and from there-on the game gets really crazy with its time-travel storyline and shows some great character development of its cast. And the ending will leave you in smiles.
