Another one amazing game in Borderlands series. Events set between bl1 and bl2
At first look it's like same bl2 but Pandora's moon here with low gravity, another vehicles and moonstones instead eridium. First of all this game is about Jack, Handsome Jack crazy and hilarious villian. He "loves" Claptraps, hires Vault Hunters which are pretty familiar characters after playing bl2. We have an opportunity to know about him better by being his ally. This game also has a lot of side quests, random loot and long grind but it may seem different, just it's like more space version of bl2. Most intersting part of game for me was Claptastic Voyage DLC where Jack digitizes Vault Hunters and sends them inside Claptrap's mind, I love those levels so much where enemies much stronger and final boss pretty tough

I can't say this game is better than Borderlands 2 but it feels like something missing between first two games of franchise, and we can understand events in bl2 better after playing this one. It's nice to look on events from eyes of villians. And don't forget to replenish oxygen if you are not a Claptrap

This game was slept on for years after it released. It's worth playing, especially if you're a Borderlands fan. I'd reccomend playing as Athena for a first playthrough as she is the most relevant to the story and to future games.


Basic rundown for BL2 fans on what this game does better and worse than the 2nd installment:

TPS Improvements: movement, combat, level scaling, boss fights, mission design (this is more subjective as there can be a lot of running around), loot, endgame currency (Moonstone/Eridium)

TPS Downgrades: map design, enemies, story (it's pretty good, but not as good), characters, farming for loot, gun feel, melee feel, skill trees, playable characters, endgame, amount of content


When it comes to gameplay, TPS is pretty different yet very similar to 2. While 2 is more grounded and weighty, which makes for better feeling gunplay and melee, TPS is light and floaty with much more movement. Transitioning from one game to the other can feel strange, but you get used to it. The story is good and adds more context to future installments, but its humor isn't quite the same as the rest of the series, which can be a turn off for some, but for many others it's still enjoyable. The characters range from tolerable to likable (especially returning characters) and some of their stories are expanded upon in this game. The vault hunters are good, but some of the skill trees feel lacking in terms of effectiveness and there is usually a tree that clearly better than the rest for solo play and a tree that's better for coop while the last one is just kinda there. The endgame is practically nonexistent as there is only one raid boss and replayability isn't very good as the game can get a little repetitive due to the map and enemy design, especially on repeat playthroughs. Level scaling is great for completionists as you have to complete every mission to maintain equal-ish levels with enemies and mission design is pretty varied throughout the game, but it's not that good for people who only want to do the main story as the game will be drastically harder for them and the game can already be kinda hard if you do the missions, especially The Claptastic Voyage as enemies are stronger in that DLC and its final boss is the hardest in the game. The movement is great with the inclusions of the double jump and butt slam, allowing for more complex map traversal and more engaging combat.

This game has kind of a bad reputation as the black sheep of the Borderlands franchise, with a lackluster reception and only 1 of the planned DLC packs being released. It's unfortunate because this may be one of the most replayable shooters I've played in a long time, interesting choice of vault hunters (two extra if you have the DLC), challenging bosses, a fun cast of characters, and interesting mechanics like Oxygen meter and Slam attacks which add some more tactical depth and freedom of movement when fighting. I will be the first to admit some of the sidequests in this game aren't that great, and some areas of the map can be a little confusing to navigate at first, but the core gameplay loop here is still a blast and I always felt this game got the short end of the stick, especially since the DLC pack for this game has one of the best questlines in a Borderlands game in my opinion. Still a really fun title to pick up if you like shooters, definitely pick it up on sale if you're on the fence.

aka a reminder of the villain is a villian yes but it's reasons that we look at understand and it's not excuses

I personally had the most fun playing through this Borderlands for a 1st and 2nd playthrough but the ENDGAME is a bit on the weaker side as compared to the others from my experience.

This game is very similar to the first titles from the series, almost feels like a dlc or expansion but long enough to be a standalone chapter in the franchise.

If you played Borderlands and Borderlands 2 you should play this too because as title suggests this is a missing link and it's mandatory to understand the origins of our heroes and villains.

I enjoyed the space theme and low gravity jumps and new mechanics,there is a new rooster of playable characters with the robot being the most fun and memorable.

I have to mention some of the main quests from the story which made me lose my temper , i understand they had to deliver a certain amount of playtime but not like this.. I'm talking about Pickle and his stupid quest, oh and it's secondary mission is even worse somehow. The huge levels and the walking simulator feeling gets in your head after some time,at least there are enemies to shoot everywhere..

This is not the best Borderlands but it can deliver a lot of answers for the series so don't skip it!

My review score

Story - 7
Gameplay- 8
Graphics- 8
Sound - 9

Overall - 8

No such thing as a Bad Borderlands Game. Even Borderlands 3 which didn't have the best story makes up for it with the Gameplay. This Pre-Sequel not only has great gameplay, but is one of the better stories in the series. I can't get enough of it!

Honestly one of the worst borderlands out there. It's not terrible, but its not great.

My Main problem is the Main story Gameplay loop. 95% of all the missions are never in your favour. What i mean by this is the loop is setup for something to always go wrong no matter what it is and you as a player have to continually find switches and shoot objects to proceed to the main objective. You go up and elevator. "Oh no, there's here's a problem" Force field gets put up "Oh no there's a problem. There's no breathing room in this loop. there's always a problem and problems are good when there is a different variety of obstacles, but repetitive run back and forth to a flip switches and shoot objects to proceed is not fun when nearly every mission feels the same. It feels like a giant side quest. with side quest chores inside main missions to extend the duration of the game.

On a bug side of things. The game continuously had no audio when introducing characters and bosses and cut scenes. As well alot of invisible barriers all over the map that were driving me up the wall.

Game is a 4/10 for me. Now this is my personal opinion on the game, i'm not bashing it there's also alot of good in this game it's just not for me.

Short Game Description

• Positives

  
  Discussing the positives, first of all, the shooter-looter formula is at its best, with a wide variety of well-designed maps, a selection of unique weapons, and a range of enemies, including bosses. Secondly, the difficulty progression was fairly good, without any need to undergo a serious grind through the areas. Finally, the plot was certainly much better and interesting as it had some significance, not like the other games where the story just sucked.
  
[*]

Negatives


On the negative side, there weren't any serious flaws besides that Lilith's a terrible character that just irritates with its pressences, as she seems to never learn and be blatantly unfazed by the consequences of her acts.

Conclusion

Needs many of the hubs as borderlands 3 checkpoints fast travelling like borderlands 3 and half in 2 .5 in pre sequal its hard to hike it out its pretty awesome graphics of fun enjoy the story line its pretty critical at being fun thanks i would recommend wheel chairs diaper bags baby market babies strollers push them to the car get up no enemies on the way family to feed macho man flexing everyday everywhere helping children get macho quickly dont mess up rock crackling holding momms purses toys weapons i dont hink so just mummy bags baby bottles stuff over 500k babies in game talking ranting rattlings shakers binki sucking cant hear anything all game just meet with ladies and read notes it sounds like scripture whole bible baby noises twist wind up acomidator baby noises 500k vocals vibrates from bluahh froma baby mouth before reaching the vocal cord ears vibrancy errands girls everywhere running errans monsters appearing to be spanked into babies non lethal guns teenages club down the stgreet workingon gadgets helping them stand up 24 7 togadget this life liev shot a rooster let them all try a bite stand up cheering for him mach 5 screaming eeeewwww.

7/10

Hands down the best Borderlands game in the series by a mile, the only thing that could improve it was if it was longer and had more dlcs

The only problems i have with this game are the drop rates for legendary weapons, and there are some sections/ missions that have a lot of bugs.

A game that does a good job on building on the inital lore from borderlands 2. helps answer alot of questions and make sense of the story a bit more. an interesting change of pace and alot of great side quests, not as great as borderlands 2 but a close second

This isn't a borderlands game. It's a documentary in the form of a game, depicting what it's like to live in Australia.

Honestly Really really enjoy this Borderlands Game. The Aussie Accents make it even better !

I have enjoyed playing this game more than Borderlands 3, no joke.

Love this game, the mechanics are super unique, lots of side quests, good story, fun unique game mechanics/bosses. Overall really fun game!

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel takes players to Pandora’s moon, adding low-gravity mechanics and new character abilities for a fresh twist on the series’ classic gameplay. While fun, it feels like an extended add-on rather than a full game, with less memorable characters and story compared to its predecessors.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

Super glitchy and terrible additions such as the jumping pads, o2 idea and the 2nd vehicle. Worst game of the frnachise. I didn't even want to finish it

going through all the BL games again and i have yet to ever be able to finish is one. the maps are so bad its so frustrating traverse the areas you cant just go to you destination you usually have to take some rout that goes across a bridge that's on the other side of the map forcing you to travel 9x longer than you should. the zero g is cool for combat but annoying for every other aspect of the game. i think the characters are new and interesting cant be to sure since i usually put this game down once i get to the second area on the moon due to all of the above. i don't leave bad reviews because something is not for me so id recommend you try for yourself but that's my opinion on this game.

Awesome and addictive fun. A must play.

Pros
+ Low-gravity gameplay: The moon setting provides a unique twist on the Borderlands formula with low-gravity environments that allow for fun movement and combat.
+ New characters and abilities: The Pre-Sequel introduces some interesting new Vault Hunters like Wilhelm, Nisha, and Athena, each with their own distinct skillsets and playstyles.
+ Expanded lore: Fans of the series will appreciate the deeper dive into the Borderlands universe, particularly the rise of Handsome Jack.

Cons
- Lack of innovation: While the low-gravity mechanics are fun, The Pre-Sequel feels a bit too familiar to Borderlands 2 in terms of overall gameplay and structure. It doesn't push the series forward as much as some might have hoped.
- Repetitive environments: The moon setting, while initially interesting, can become visually monotonous after a while. There's a lack of environmental diversity compared to other games in the series.
- Grindy and unbalanced: Some players find the game to be excessively grindy, especially when it comes to finding decent loot. Additionally, certain character builds and weapons can feel overpowered, leading to unbalanced gameplay.
- Weak story: While it provides some backstory for Handsome Jack, the main narrative in The Pre-Sequel is generally considered to be weaker than Borderlands 2's. The plot feels somewhat predictable and less engaging.
- Limited endgame content: Compared to Borderlands 2, The Pre-Sequel has less to offer in terms of endgame activities and replayability. This can make it feel like a shorter and less substantial experience overall.

It was five years ago when i started this game and i gave up becoz i didnt like it. but i decided to give it another chance and after sevrl hours i noticed that i want to play more and now i got all achvmnts

It's a very nice game to play, addicting australian looter shooter (this is funny, because the australian accents present in this game are awesome) with nice mechanics running on the stupid unreal engine. It feels lonely playing solo, like the whole game was meant to play in some kind of local lan team having fun together and if you are playing alone it gets extremely frustrating and hardcore. It's not a game for everyone, zero portuguese support for people that don't bother learning english.

Now I want to talk about the savepoints and fast travels in this game... My Gods, they are the worst I have ever seen in a game. If you are one those that leave the game in the middle of the quest and come back another day you will find yourself completely lost in some missions and it will be a very difficult task to get on track of what you were doing again, you have to fully comit to the quest. Guess the australian devs didn't think this through in the development.

Not as good as 2 or 3 but still solid game. Play 2 first then if you want more of the same then get this. 3 is a huge improvement on the gameplay so leave that for last or it's gonna be rough to play 2 and this.

Great side story from the borderlands universe focusing on jacks past, with it being on the moon there are a few new and unique mechanics and a new set of vault hunters its a very good entry in the series but lacks anything to do at the end of the game due to a lack of activity and loot variety.

Borderlands 2 but in space.

I don't really get the hate, honestly found the gameplay more fun than BL2, whether that be the characters themselves or playing around in zero g.

Worst in the series in term of balance but story, sarcasm, cinism and all the borderlands' style narrative is there just like it was on the 2. Claptrap DLC is also very good and inisghtful regarding the story of claptrap and how it became....annoying.

very underrated title, overshadowed by the other games but it holds up a decade after release. Every borderlands game imo has truly stood the test of time. They don't feel stale or boring and I've been playing since 2 came out.

this is my favorite borderlands game, even though none of my friends like it. good story line, great characters, and i love to butt slam. 10/10 will play forever.

At first it seems like its a watered down borderlands game. But after learning more about Australian Culture this game becomes absolutely hilarious. 100% better than Borderland 3.

It's a great game. I honestly didn't like it at first because of the way this game went, but then after i finished the story a few times, i decided to do side quests and farm bosses and stuff. I enjoy it a little bit more now, Haven't done the claptastic voyage dlc yet so ill have to try it out when i buy it. It's been a good journey with this borderlands. Not very popular and the most underrated borderlands but i like it in my opinion. I think its ok :D

very imbalance game;
a lots of mob pushing the player, giving a feeling of the devs never try it because its unplayable;
some boss are just too OP like the RK5 lvl 47
many bosses are ruined by the fact add mobs never stop spawning

Its by far the less funny fps I played, and obviously the last from Gearbox;

dont buy it, save your money

I really enjoyed Borderlands 1&2, but this game suffers from several problems:
- horrid maps. the floor literally is lava, and you constantly have to try to parkour your way around. oh, missed that jump by a foot? too bad, respawn, run allllll the wayyyy back, try again. and again till you press "F" to ignore the mission if it's optional.
- the slow movement, apparently to give an outer space feel, actually makes the gameplay feel slow
- I got stuck in a "hole" in the terrain on the first mission, had to wait to suffocate and respawn. Ya, much fun.
- why can't we have the same character classes?
- the reliance on oxygen is an unnecessary annoyance
- somehow the graphics feel older than Borderlands 1 or 2
- inventory, even with the new tweaks, suffers the same bad design as BL 1 & 2
- Claptrap is just annoying.

Despite wanting more borderlands then 1 and 2 the pre-sequel suffers horribly from bugs that are actually game breaking. NPCs that suddenly get stuck in walls, Skills that do not work, controls for cars which are horrendous. Death to Randy Pitchfork for destroying this franchise and getting 2K Australia shutdown!

honestly took me a few tries to get into it but trust me after the small slow introduction to the game it gets good!! Honestly really like the O2 mechanic and the weapons are so unique!

Is Pre-Sequel the best game in the Borderlands series? HAHAHA, not even top 3.
Is Pre-Sequel the worst game in the Borderlands series? No.

The game is buggy, some areas make no dang sense, and the plot has more holes than Swiss Cheese ... and that's me being generous. That being said through, I do personally find the gameplay to be fun despite it's issues. I usually find myself playing Pre-Sequel when I'm in a Borderlands-y mood, but don't feel like running through BL2 for the 1000th time.

Cannot recommend at full price, but if you get it with Handsome Collection or Pandora's Box Bundle for dumb cheap, I'd recommend to give it a shot.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a captivating addition to the beloved Borderlands series, delivering a unique blend of humor, engaging gameplay, and a fresh setting. Set on the moon of Pandora, the game effectively utilizes its low-gravity environment to create dynamic combat scenarios that feel both innovative and exciting.

One of the standout features is the cast of characters, including familiar faces like Claptrap and newcomers such as Athena and Wilhelm. Each character comes with their own skill trees and abilities, allowing for diverse playstyles that cater to different preferences. This variety enhances replayability, as players can experiment with different builds and strategies.

The game's humor remains a key component, infused with the franchise's signature irreverence. While it draws heavily from internet culture and Reddit-style humor, the witty dialogue and absurd situations are sure to elicit laughs. This lighthearted tone adds to the overall enjoyment, making the experience feel more like a fun adventure with friends than a typical shooter.

The looter-shooter mechanics are as satisfying as ever. Players will find themselves constantly discovering new weapons and gear, each with their own unique attributes and effects. The thrill of loot hunting is complemented by a robust crafting system, allowing players to customize their arsenal to suit their playstyle.

Additionally, the cooperative gameplay shines in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Teaming up with friends or even strangers enhances the experience, as you can strategize and tackle challenges together. The game also introduces unique mechanics, such as the O2 system, which adds another layer of strategy to combat and exploration.

In terms of visuals, the game retains the series' distinctive cel-shaded art style, which remains vibrant and visually appealing. The environments, from lunar landscapes to bustling outposts, are well-designed and immersive.

Overall, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel successfully builds on the strengths of its predecessors while offering enough new content and mechanics to keep things fresh. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the series, this game is a thrilling and entertaining journey that captures the spirit of looting and shooting in an engaging, humorous package. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun co-op experience!

The only reason to play this game - to walk through story. As a pre-sequel game is awesome.

But game play is very different from BL2 - new mechanics make fights much, much slower.
If you always wanted to play in BL2 as a full sniper build - in pre-sequel such spec is very easy to play (almost all non-boses can be oneshoted).

Not great, not terrible, it's right in the middle of the borderlands games. Personally i was very intrigued learning the lore of handsome jack and the previous vault hunters.

This is by far the worst borderlands game period, the mechanics are trash the map and mission design is trash and the drop rates for loot is the worst in any game in history. THIS IS WHY 2K AUSTRALIA WAS SHUT DOWN THIS GAME IS GARBAGE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME EVER.

Really great prequel to borederlands 2. Has one of the best boss fights in the entire franchise and really great playable characters.

You guys can survive until RK5. I feel the game is even harder then sekiro or something whats wrong with this game?

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel offers a unique twist on the beloved franchise, taking players from the arid landscapes of Pandora to the icy surface of Elpis, Pandora's moon.

Set between the events of Borderlands 1 and 2, the game dives into the backstory of Handsome Jack, which is basically a crash course in how a semi-likeable office manager becomes an intergalactic megalomaniac.

Laser weapons are introduced, bringing a new level of pew-pew to the chaos. There’s something deeply satisfying about blasting a moon bandit into oblivion with a concentrated beam of light. Claptrap, everyone’s favorite trash can, is now playable—because apparently, somebody decided we needed more Claptrap. Yes, that loveably annoying robot you’ve been dealing with for two games is now your teammate... and still talking... and still doesn’t shut up. Playing as Claptrap is a mix of "this is hilarious" and "oh God, what have I done?"

The new addition of low-gravity makes every encounter feel like an interstellar ballet where you’re trying not to accidentally float off into the abyss mid-gunfight. Expect to spend half the game in slow-motion jumps, cackling as your enemies helplessly drift around like they just realized space travel wasn’t for them.
And don’t forget the oxygen. As if moon monsters weren’t enough, you also have to keep an eye on your air supply because, you know, space. You can suffocate in style, possibly while in the middle of a gunfight, which just adds to the chaos.

Graphically, The Pre-Sequel maintains the distinct cel-shaded art style that the series is known for. The moon’s environment contrasts beautifully with the vibrant colors and chaotic designs of the weapons and enemies. The atmosphere feels alive, with moonlit landscapes filled with both danger and humor.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It’s all about the signature experience with a space twist over-the-top action, ridiculous characters, and an endless array of loot.

Randy canceled the dlc for this. And they still want 40$? don't even, don't give them your coopins, even at a discounted loss, its a loss. Big sad, this coulda been the best one. they could have learned from bl2.. buut nooo now we have to learn. gross. making me learn, and at this age?!? Randy..

the game is a solid entry in the series

but the level design suffers a LOT from the lack of movement mechanics in this game

if this game had the movement of Borderlands 3, it would feel a lot more satisfying to be flying around and parkouring everywhere, the movement prior to it feels way too stiff for what this game was going for

Borderlands can be great gameplay wise, and this game is clearly not at the same level as the second instalment, yet it's still a great coop time.

Phenomenal game and my personal favourite in the series. I think the movement is very unique and vault hunters are among the best in the series. If you can get used to the low gravity movement it allows for some great fun. Save for a few odd bugs it runs great on anything.

Highly recommend

Get ready for more loot and lunacy, but this time in space! Explore Pandora’s moon, shoot baddies in low gravity, and enjoy the hilarious story with Handsome Jack’s rise to power. With its signature mix of RPG and shooter, The Pre-Sequel is a chaotic, fun-filled ride for fans of the Borderlands universe.

Great addition to the series. Fun new mechanics.
