Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Straight dog water. early game is kinda fun but the late game sucks so much arse it should go into the plumbing industry

Great game. Had some big foot steps to fill after BL2 and obviously didn't quite fill them but still very good and similar to BL2.

this is just borderlands 2 but worse in almost every way.
your lucky i love borderlands 2 otherwise this review would be a different story

Get Borderlands 2 instead. This game is fine, but you shouldn't get it if you don't have Borderlands 2.

This is probably my favourite borderlands game. The inclusion of zero gravity, being able to slam down to the ground, cryo weapons, and a new setting on the moon. This game is great.

A good game, you will have fun, especially in co-op, but the game is very short, it should be an expansion!

it is short compared to 1, 2 and 3 but it is unique even without expansion dlcs and season passes i find it quite charming and still re playing after my ps4 switch and now playing again in steam

Don't believe what everyone says about Pre-Sequel. The post-game isn't great, but as a single experience from start to finish, it's a really fun and well-paced time.
The DLC is also fantastic, and one of the best pieces of content Gearbox have made for Borderlands.

The game is pretty good. It has all the classic Borderlands game mechanics, graphics, fighting, side missions and cool characters. You get a cool thing that lets you double jump, I had a lot of fun with that. The game can get a little tedious at times. Not enough bosses/mini bosses. The final boss is a bullet sponge and that was frustrating and disappointing. There's a cool-looking claptrap DLC but it's 10$... screw dat... There's some other DLC for this game that's meant to be played in multiplayer, I always play singleplayer so I didn't try them out. It def has some replay value, but not much. I'll always prefer BL2, it has a special place in my heart.

i like that its the same style as bl2. the lasers are insane. game is amazing and fun.

Solid, doesnt feel nearly as repetitive as the first two games

I enjoyed the game. Plenty to do as always with these Borderlands games. Recommended if you enjoyed the previous games.

Too many bugs that haven't been fixed that seriously affects the playability of the game. I can't believe the developers haven't yet fixed this - it's been years since it was released.

The 'gladiator' athena class is the definition of awesome!Coupled with the super engaging combat and classic borderlands humour,this is a must play for anyone who likes borderlands games or just FPS shooters in general.

The dialogue can get a little weird and cringe sometimes, and the lack of farmability for most story bosses despite them having dedicated drops is where this game really suffers

However, this game has by far the most fun and exciting skill trees in the entire franchise, and the grinder mechanic kinda makes up for the farmability problem i mentioned earlier.

Another great installment in the Borderlands franchise, the Pre Sequel takes things to the next level with a fantastic story, great characters and new innovative gameplay, which will make you jump for joy.

In general this game just have a really good story, backed up by some very solid world building. I really enjoyed spending time on the differently planets. The gameplay, like both BL1 and 2, lacks the fluidity of the more recent entries in the series, but it still holds up decently well.

Same garbage as Borderlands 2 with funnier skills, but with less polish.

Also a solid entry on the borderlands series, handsome jack is a handsome son of a flower* ಠ_ಠ

although it's my least favourite borderlands, it's still very great gameplay with the same borderlands humour and adventures the series is known for. 8.5/10 and i only find this my least favourite cause i specifically dislike zero gravity combat, a lot of people found it very fun so i think i'm just weird, good game, play it!!

i understand why this game gets the hate it does. In many ways its a slight downgrade from borderlands 2. The lack of an endgame hits hard in a game about grinding gear and replayability, but that's not to say I didn't enjoy this game alot. It's gunplay is loads of fun with the new cryo element and laser guns, butt slams, double jumps, launch pads etc. Overall the movement felt great and made traversing the environment faster and way more fun. The story was pretty well done I really loved watching the downfall of Jack and his rise to power, although it did happen really quickly in terms of gameplay. The playable vault hunters are really well done here with significantly more interesting and complex build crafting compared to the second game. Speaking of characters though I gotta mention pickle and springs. Both of them are recurring annoyances without any of the charm of claptrap. Overall this was exactly what I wanted, more borderlands 2. It just comes with that warning that the endgame isn't really there.

Also the claptrap DLC is an absolute blast. If you like borderlands that DLC is worth its weight in gold.

I wasnt expecting much and it was honestly a good experience.
It cant compete with Borderlands 2 but isnt a bad game.

This game kinda just feels like a DLC to Borderlands 2, otherwise its pretty great, same as 2 really.

Honestly, it's better than 2. Cool set pieces and introduced having your characters talk, but the characters are actually cool, unlike BL3.

A game of pure fun and crazy! This is the peak of the Borderlands series for me. Most of the fun gameplay features was condensed in this very game achieving its critical level with low-gravity, butt-slams, lasers and giant cosmic octopuses! This is a breath of fresh cosmic non-air vacuum on the beautiful moon landscapes under the sky with no atmosphere but just pure star radiation. Love this!

its really fun, it brings back old memories. My favorite character is Clap-Trap.

I think this game gets too much hate, but I like it, I like the story, I like the characters.
What I DON'T like is the legendary drop chances going out of normal into TVHM and the reliance on the grinder for legendaries, this game's legendaries (at least in TVHM) have felt like trying to get pearls in 1 and 2.

Even though it's suppose to be a complete stand alone game after BL2, it doesn't feel like it is. Of course you really get worth for your time but it wasn't as big as BL2. I know i'm writing this review 10 years too late but to keep people interested in the franchise in the meantime between BL2 and BL3 this definitely had to be good one. The ending was also very satisfying yet also very hard. I kept thinking to myself if this was it and then there was another stage. Overall i think this is definitely a game you should play if you completely destroyed BL2 already. The story really gets more detail to it and it really made me like the franchise even more (I already did but the lore now just makes it a proper story to follow). One small detail, apart from the charachters you were familiar with in the previous game you don't really have any charachters you will remember which is sad but also understandable. You gotta keep some silver lining in there.

I quit this game back in 2014 when it launched and immediately marked it as garbage in my mind. Ten years later now, I stumbled upon it in my library and decided to give it another shot, not even remembering why I abandoned it in the first place. For about an hour, I thought, "Well, I don’t know what past me was on about - this just feels like another Borderlands game, nothing too out of place." Then I closed the game, launched it again half an hour later, it all came rushing back: the saving system was an absolute nightmare. It put me miles from where I last saved, forcing me to slog through a horde of enemies again, wasting 20 minutes just to get back to where I "saved." I tested it a couple more times to confirm. Got to the saving/reconstructing machine, made sure I saw the save icon, reloaded - and I’m in some random spot 10-20 minutes back again. When you’ve only got a limited amount of gaming time during the week because of LIFE, it’s ridiculously demotivating.

Honestly, The Pre-Sequel doesn’t feel like a proper follow-up to Borderlands 2 anyway. The glitchy low-gravity mechanic and constant need to monitor your O2 make it feel like you’re stuck in some bad dream, with endless repetition and cringeworthy dialogue.

After B2, Gearbox should’ve either stepped up their game and invested proper time and resources into the franchise or pivoted to something fresh - like a roguelike. Imagine a Dead Cells-style game but with Borderlands world in first person? Now that would’ve been something special.

look don't listen to "TPS bad TPS bad" idiots. if you enjoyed two youll enjoy this. its fun and just as ridiculous as the second game was and theres alot to love about it

80% Navigating complex multi-floor structures
10% Actual gun fighting
8% "Oh, that's not a platform"
2% One-hit kill outta nowhere

Loved Borderlands 1 and 2... but the pre-sequel is sloooooooow... like watching a YT video at 0.25 speed slow. The moon mechanics and moon walking just makes it look like you're not going anywhere. The slow fall gravity is just awful for the platforming and the ground pound-esk ability will have to land on a rogue barrel half the time... not to mention having to wait for entire dialogues just for that "I've updated your ECHO" so you can finally start moving to the next way point halfway across the map.

It's a good game at it's base... but without a fast forward button, it too draggy for my taste

Siento que se volvió muy repetitivo siempre la misma mecánica y mismo lugares voy de aquí para allá y de allá para acá

Not a terrible game at all, but the characters and the story were really unmemorable. 5/10. I wouldn't pay for it at full price but it goes on offer quite often so pick it up then.

Try Multiplayer... Help new player... It's Fun

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
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2971413915

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)
