Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!

Borderlands has always had this problem. The planning behind various quest locations is extremely inconvenient for players, with the enemy respawn system it is quite an uncomfortable adventure. Developers, please, either make locations of one quest stay on the same map or disable the enemy respawn system.

In comparison to the second game the gameplay offers better gunplay that reduces the bullet-sponge experience with better abilities and weapons. As for the story, it is much simpler but offers less content quantity. Apart from Jack's backstory the game isn't memorable for anything else.

This game is a lot of fun and really retains the Borderlands atmostphere. Its two flaws were simply that it followed the very sucessful Borderlands 2 (can't really blame it) which set wildly high (dare i say unrealistic) expectations and the second flaw being it did not really fix any of the few problems of Borderlands 2 gameplay (which Borderlands 3 really did and did a good job of fixing too). I have completed 2 seperate playthroughs of this game and have completed every installment of the Borderlands franchise up to this point (2020). I would gladly play this game again. I would say the dlc locations/missions are very low in quantity. Though i would agrue that the Claptastic Voyage dlc is very good. This game does a great job of what it set out to do which was give you 4 (later 6) vault hunters with their own playstyle and stories and really show the story of Jack's path to who he became in BL2 while staying true to the characters' (already know) origins and futures. A lot was asked of this game and honestly it delivered ecspecially in (dare i say the most critical area which is that of) Handsome's Jack development. This game did backtrack in way of quanity, quality, and some degree of uniqueness as well in the arena of legendary weapons. As with any Borderlands game, its a good game playing by yourself and its fantastic to play with friends. Good luck Vault Hunters.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! (2014) is fantastic video game. If you liked Borderlands 2, this game is a must play. It has everything the second part had and it delivers. Note, it's not Borderlands 3, and thats why most of things in this flick are the same they were in Borderlands 2. But that not a problem here - it's rocks! Tousands of loot, more monsters, hundreds of quests, colorfully characters, you can't ask for more. The only downside is a story, which isn't intriguing as it was in the second part, but that's not major complaint, when the game starts, after first hour, you will be lost in this great game.

Overall, if you liked Borderlands 2, grab this one, it rocks!

With the first 2 Borderlands games, I was impressed mostly with the narrative/comedy. With this installment of the franchise, the biggest winning factor for me was the gameplay rather than its narrative. First off; lemme just say playing as Clap-trap was a flippin blast! With his added remarks to the campaign, I think it made this game much more humorous than say you just had Athena commenting about stuff. Another piece of the plot I enjoyed was seeing Handsome Jack again as I thought Borderlands 2 was the last I seen of him. Now regarding the gameplay; really just all around awesome. Of course the low gravity is what makes this game so great. Able to jump over areas, move around more quickly, and even getting a new vehicle called the Stingray makes travel so much fun and fast as you can jump over literal mountains if you get the speed/jump/angle right. I also loved the cryogenic weapons so much better than the slag weapons, so I'm glad they were switched out in this installment.

I loved the setting on being on Pandora's moon Elpis. Don't get me wrong; Pandora is great, but we already have 2 games plus the DLCs that are set on that planet. Being on the moon with low gravity was refreshing, and makes me excited to check out its DLC and the sequel (also Tales from the Borderlands too)

Regarding its dlc, it was awesome! Inside the mind of Claptrap, we get quite a trip of a game, with a really annoying song that stayed stuck inside my head days after beating this. If you like Borderlands, I'd say this is a must-play dlc that gives quite the twist in who Claptrap actually is. Recommended.

This game lacks in comparison to 1 and 2, but this wasn't supposed to be Borderlands 3, it was supposed to be a side game to hold us off for the time being, and it did a great job. The gameplay we're familiar with is still present, and yet it manages to also be one of the most unique in the series without jumping the shark. Love this game.
