Lock, Load, & Face the Madness! Get ready for the mind-blowing insanity, as one of four trigger-happy mercenaries, taking out everything that stands in your way. With its addictive action, frantic first person shooter combat, massive arsenal of weaponry, RPG elements and four-player co-op, Borderlands is the breakthrough experience that challenges all the conventions of modern shooters. Borderlands places you in the role of a mercenary on the lawless and desolate planet of Pandora, hell bent on finding a legendary stockpile of powerful alien technology known as The Vault.
Gearbox's release of Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition brings the missing piece of the franchise to current generation consoles. Mechanical and visual improvements solidify Borderlands has always been a fun, beautiful game that was quite forward-thinking despite some things not aging well.
Even ten years after its original release, Borderlands is still a great co-op experience, which looks great thanks to its "cel-shading" graphics (4k resolution in PS4 PRO and Xbox One X).
Quotation forthcoming.
Having already seen Borderlands 2 squeezed into the PlayStation Vita (with, admittedly, ropey results), itâs a surprise this version of the first game isnât also coming out on Nintendo Switch, but thatâs an issue for another day. For many though, having an excuse to replay Borderlands 1 on the same console as the Handsome Collection is good enough. Definitely worth a play if youâve never done so before, but perhaps not all that essential anymore.
A fun looter shooter that needed a more polished remaster.
Between Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition and the updates to the Handsome Collection, Borderlands is back in a big way, and thatâs to say nothing of the main attraction coming in September. Unlike more recent entries in this space, Borderlands doesnât hinge on fragile in-game economies or being stingy with loot. Instead, it's a game that just wants to have fun â silly, brash, play-it-with-friends kind of fun. Welcome back old friend, you have been missed.
A mixed bag. Itâs fun to revisit one of the first âlooter shootersâ for consoles again, and the mix of run, gun, and loot still holds up well despite its age. But this is hardly a perfect port/remaster of that game, and because of that, itâs difficult to really suggest picking it up.
