They changed to intrusive terms of service after I owned this game for years. I can not play it any more, because I won't accept the new terms.
Do NOT buy this game if you value your privacy. Until they change their ToS, stay far away from any of these games.
The EULA changes over the past few months have sadly turned the game into spyware. It knows your browser data, and the terms are basically such that they can do whatever they want with the information. Most obviously is selling it. If you reject their terms, you cannot play the game.
Thanks to the publisher, this game now steals important stuff like Credit-card information, ip adress, search history, pc files and various other stuff.
If they get a data breach, then all that information goes to some random hacker in Russia.
Update: I'll be changing/keeping my reviews of all mainstream borderlands games to negative as I no longer can support ANY of the borderlands titles until 2K picks up their shit and changes their new TOS policy. You guys are DISGUSTING for doing that
Time to uninstall and pack it away. Randy Pitchford is a massive trashbag... ban me.
It's been great, the community and everyone I've played with along the way, you're great and will be missed. But the games are becoming progressively worse and the terms of service are becoming more and more invasive (on a game over a decade old, no less). There are so many modern games that don't take advantage of their product, misuse it, and subject consumers to predatorial tactics. I, genuinely, don't really see a point in being part of THIS game (or any other game with similar tos). And yes, same goes for GTA6.
If you like companies spying on every detail about you (i.e. gaining kernel-level access; google that), then this is the game for you. Also this particular one in the series... wow... absolute sh*te - but don't get me started.
Take-Two and 2K games have updated all their games Terms of Service, this extends beyond the Borderlands franchise.
Important Info in Terms of Service:
• Mods are a bannable offense
• Display of Cheats/Exploits is bannable
• Forced arbitration clause and a waiver of class action and jury trial rights for all users residing in the United States and any other territory other than Australia, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, or The Territories of The European Economic Area

All this data being collected by a company who's CEO was accused of leaving a USB with illegal material on it as well as sensitive data of Gearbox/2K partners in a medieval themed restaurant, and were supposed to just give in to these absurd terms of service?
[hr][/hr]
My take on these terms of service changes is that I now have more hard drive space and I will not be playing another Borderlands game until these terms are changed. This also extends to the majority of Take-Two published games. Welcome to my shit list Take-Two, you've earned it.
wtf gearbox, how dare you make an agreement making this game unplayable without selling my soul in your EULA
Randy Re+ard back at it again, ruining the Borderlands series more and more everyday. I am only reviewing this game because I believe it was the beginning of the fall for sure, a mediocre game before but now its just worthless.
Play Borderlands 2 or the ORIGINAL Tales from the Borderlands if you want a good experience despite the TOS garbage.
The new TOS allows take two to record your web browsing activity.
If there were justice, anyone rejecting the TOS would be entitled to a full refund as they are essentially taking the product back.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a fun addition to the series that offers some fresh mechanics like low-gravity combat and new character classes. While it doesn't quite reach the heights of its predecessors due to some repetitive missions and uneven pacing, it still delivers the trademark humor, loot-driven gameplay, and chaotic action fans expect. It's not perfect, but it's an enjoyable ride for anyone who loves the Borderlands universe.
Take-Two Terms of Service

These New terms of service are wrong. do not buy or play these games until the company decides to take action on their terrible new eula. what a terrible way to kill an amazing game series seriously....
Used to love this series, but not after they decided to steal my personal information and sell it. Won't be buying or playing any Gearbox/Take Two games until they change their EULA/Privacy policy. I urge you to read it before playing or buying any of their games.
i don't support the game spying on you , or banning you for using mods
DO NOT INSTALL AND ACCEPT THE EULA UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
A Recent update to this game has updated the EULA that if accepted gives Gearbox/2K access to:
Root level access to your machine under the guise of "anticheat" software
Your IP Address
Personal information including your phone number, email and address
Refusing the EULA breaks mods and cuts off netplay in a 10+ year old game. This same dangerous level of access has been added to the following games in the catalog:
+ Borderlands GOTY Edition (Yes, the de-listed one)
+ Borderlands GOTY Edition Enhanced (https://store.steampowered.com/app/729040/Borderlands_Game_of_the_Year_Enhanced/)
+ Borderlands 2 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/49520/Borderlands_2/)
+ Borderlands 3 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/397540/Borderlands_3/)
+ Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
This invasive update effectively turns the game into Spyware and I encourage others to report the game to Steam for this disgusting invasion of privacy. When and only when this problem is reversed will I delete this addition to the review.
I bought this game, yet the right to play it was taken away by 2K and Gearbox.
NO, I DO NOT CONDONE TO YOU TAKING MY DATA. I see now that this has been a waste of money.
Corpo Greed is the worst. Choke on your dirty money 2K.
Don't buy this or any of the other Borderlands games -- or any game under the publishing group Take-Two Interactive, or the following Publishers: 2K, Dynamixyz, Rockstar Games, and Zynga. All of the information about their publishers and developers are publicly available.
Here is why:
They have added Terms of Service changes, or EULA changes to their games saying that they can and will collect your personal information such as: Passwords, Phone Numbers, IP Addresses.
They also wish to put a stop to Community Modders.
I recommend uninstalling these games if you have already agreed to these term changes. If you haven't agreed, best to do it to be safe.
I wonder how people think of this game in a post-Borderlands 3 and movie world. Honestly I think it's overhated, it's not my favorite Borderlands game not even close but it's a fun time. I can imagine it's probably a lot more fun with friends though.
Ay yo more Spyware in my spyware on top of my bread and butter series? WTF Randy???
10/10 good game.
20/10 spyware that will probrably be used to up the players numbers for the next borderlands game.
If even I, the last remaining CL4P-TP unit, says that adding spyware to the game is an absolute disgrace; you got a problem that you need to fix NOW.
I never understood why most people who played this game hated it. Then I played the game .... and now I see why.
I will not be playing any game published by Take-Two until they remove the "spyware" portion of their TOS/EULA. This is a disgusting business practice, and they cannot be allowed to let this go unchecked.
I love borderlands the pre-sequel, and yet I cannot recommend this game anymore. This is due to Take2's new Eula being incredibly invasive. Please, do yourself a favor, do not accept this, and fight back against these corporations and their nasty business practices.
Take-Two wants to force a new, invasive EULA on players of a game that's over a decade old? Suddenly, I feel compelled to "update" my recommendation...
this is a hot take but i think this games story is better than borderlands 2's story. in fact the bl2 story without this game is easily nothing more than a stand up comedy routine. I had literally 0 problem with the oxygen mechanic in this game but then again im playing it in 2025 so maybe they patched it to be less annoying? all I know is that for as much as I love this game, the dlc can go screw itself. whoever decided a dlc with like a hundred claptraps screaming in your ears for several hours was a good idea is actually an idiot. that being said, good game.
Great game when played with friends, shit game if played alone, its a slogg fest not compared to the other borderlands but still a slogg so play it with friends for more fun.
Also the story is brilliant great writing on this one made me laugh sometimes.
Slang, kittens, crazy girls, surprising punchlines, perverted enemies, some downright dada moments and general black humor consisting in combining childishly innocent things with extreme brutality - all this made Borderlands Pre-Sequel a unique experience.
The game also introduces the beginnings of Handsome Jack, the head of Hyperion, who enjoyed the role of a sarcastic villain above all and supplied you with his pearls during his speeches.
Jack works as a programmer at Hyperion and, unfortunately, the orbital station where he is currently located is attacked by the aggressive Colonel Zarpedon and her space commando.
Everything is in its place - weapons, enemies, open environment on the moon, driven NPCs and sneaky enemies. But something doesn't fit here. Maybe it's because I spent more hours playing Borderlands than I'm willing to admit publicly, and therefore I may have overeaten the entire universe and type of gameplay.
To enjoy Borderlands, you have to have specific tastes. Not everyone can stomach the comic book graphics, bizarre characters, or somewhat weak single-player. Borderlands simply relies on an infantile version of humor spiced up with the jargon of internet subcultures. 45%
Where do I even start? I played this with 2 Arabs, not one, but too, pretty crazy, right!? Dude it was like we were exploring Yemen in the year 2030, insane awesome game.
The game is good, this and multiple other Borderlands titles have a special place in my heart, too bad people in charge are stupid af *cough* Randy (child usb pron, bonus salary stealing, critisism avoiding, franchise ruining, voice actor/staff beating, poop joke liking, twitter manchild) Pitchford.
EULA 2025
• Mods are a bannable offense
• Saying something in game or using Borderlands content in the back of your discussion/critisism videos that Take-Two deems as offensive/toxic can now warrent a ban or even court.
• Display of Cheats/Exploits is bannable
• Forced arbitration so long as it is permitted in your region
• You can be banned for the using a VPN while connecting to online servers
• Cannot access game content on a Virtual PC
• They reserve the right to modify this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time
Not only that but they violate your privacy rights by collecting data outside of the game(passwords,browsing history, location, billing info, device and usage data)
Seeing in what state they left Pre-Sequel with no dedicated drops, quality of life changes or the rest of the DLC's and then further banning people for using mods such as Community Patch that fixes alot of the problems that the vanilla game was left with is ignorant at best and dim-witted at worst.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Compared to Borderlands 2 this game is very disappointing. Graphics are similar but the performance is a lot worse. The combat is worse and to progress the main story it feels more grindy. Side missions are not fun to play, and the humor/dialog is very unfunny and annoying. Playable characters are fun to play though, and their voice lines are enjoyable.
Better to play/replay Borderlands 1 2 or 3.
Great sequel not quite as good as 2 but worth time playing
Lovely game, new EULA changes mean you can be banned for mods in a single player game.
A good game, but not without its downsides. Excellent gameplay, a huge variety of weapons, a lot of different other loot and there is a small open world. I also liked the implementation of the game in space and the bosses of the game itself, although in co-op I think the game would be a little easier to complete than alone. One minus is saving, the game writes the game is saved, but if you exit the game you will start from the very beginning to go to that mission, but the loot and killing the boss will be saved. There is another unpleasant moment when the Internet crashes, there will be an exit from the game session, the loot will not be saved, but how much money was taken from you is saved. There is only one option to save in the game - this is loading to a new location.
new terms of service is pretty much maleware,, they say they can copy your passwords, get your phone number, see what sites you visit, and says you cant use a vpn... and sue you if you criticize there game, SO DO NOT,,, agree with it, id rather you pirate the game at this point.
eh it's not the best but not the worst 6/10. movement is janky and story is meh. it's worth it if it's on sale but not otherwise.
Fun game but all this advertisement up-selling and privacy invasion updates for a game this old is a pretty low blow, ain't it folks?
Thanks Take Two very cool, now kindly shoot the floor with the Bee and any splash damaging gun of your choice equipped
Death to the EULA

Take Two has changed the EULA in 2025 for all Borderlands games to allow data collection in and outside of the games. They also are forcing arbitration on us like Disney did with Disney+. Although I doubt any borderlands theme park will exist, just know you lose rights by accepting the EULA. This game is no longer worth the money online, buy a 360 disc copy of the game instead and play on a 360.
Crucify me for saying so if you must, but this is easily the best Borderlands game in the entire franchise (provided you've at least played Borderlands 2 beforehand). The writing is exceptionally tight, the humor is a fresh spin on what the franchise is already known for, and the characters are a g*ddamn delight.
While TPS is significantly shorter than BL2, it does in many ways trim the fat, making for an overall tighter gameplay experience. The addition of new elements like low gravity, cryo weapons, and entirely different skillsets than either of the previous games also gives it a certain edge that really nails what makes Borderlands a fun co-op looter shooter RPG series to begin with, especially if you're playing with friends.
But even if you're playing solo, it's the story and presentation that really steal the show here. The entire game takes place not in the familiar Mad Max-inspired desert badlands of Pandora, but on the surface of a mining-scarred moon up in outer space. This radical change in setting is also accompanied by making everyone and everything Australian in nature, making it feel like even more of a unique standout entry in the series, and that's honestly where it gets the bulk of its charm. The writing is cheeky, off-the-wall, and decidedly silly at times, but when the major story beats hit, they hit HARD, and that's a huge factor in why I call this game the strongest of the franchise.
The DLC for TPS is also 100% worth it, as it adds two ludicrously powerful new characters to play as, and a long-form story DLC with an absurdly hilarious meta premise. Again though, the writing seriously delivers, especially for sharp-eyed players who remember the small details from BL1 and 2. And it's funny as all get-out!
The only major caveat is that the game is over 10 years old now, and currently (as of March 2025) suffers a number of small but annoying bugs - mostly related to certain dialog and audio logs not playing correctly. It shouldn't be bad enough to really impact the gameplay for the most part, but seeing as a huge part of the series' draw is its sense of humor and excellent voice over work, it is a bit of a shame when THAT'S the part that bugs out.
But yeah, still strongly recommend picking this one up, especially if you've already played BL2 (and to a lesser extent, BL1 as well). Chronologically the story order is 1 > TPS > 2, but I recommend playing them 1 > 2 > TPS for the best experience. Playing with friends is ideal, just make sure whoever plays Claptrap is someone you already like to yell at, because his skill tree gets super spicy in multiplayer!
Another Borderlands game and always fun.
After Borderlands 2, I expected more of a subsequent game. Despite the game having lots missions and places to go, walking in zero gravity is very, very annoying. Didn´t like it at all.
Some of the new mechanics and the environment might not be that much fun like in BL1 / BL2, but the story is so damn good. Also this is prolly going to be (so far is) the last Borderlands with such an amazing story... rip bl series and giant thanks to Anthony Burch & co.
Story/world building felt off? Idk there was always something about the game that didn't feel right compared to BL2.
However, I think the mechanics, features, and characters of this game were probably some of the most interesting of the series. I also had quite a bit of good fun with it back in the day so I'll give it a recommendation. Though seeing has how it's been 11 years, there's probably better looter shooters out there.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel :
I was hyped to be able to play as claptrap, I usually chose siren but there's no playable siren option for the Pre-Sequel.
This is the only borderlands where I felt motion sickness, I don't know if its because of the ''game being played in space'' I usually feel like that with VR games.
Anyways my partner changed a few things in the settings and it did help a bit.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel: 100% COMPLETION REVIEW
[hr][/hr]
If you love completing games, take a look at our curator site.
[hr][/hr]
Borderlands, but in space! I'm the biggest arse on the moon. *techno music plays*
Despite having been released after Borderlands 2, Pre-Sequel is meant to be played before it in storyline terms. Pre-Sequel is a full Borderlands game that is basically just BL2 but with different content and story. We learn Jack's origins, and he was THIS close to being good, but then the Handsome Jackening happened.
Character skill trees are a bit more complex than in BL2, with multiple types of stacks, elemental damage types that go together, skills that complement each others in different skill trees even, etc. The new cast of characters is probably the wildest of the franchise: we can play as Jack himself, or a Claptrap unit!
Pre-Sequel has many problems that drag it down however, making it an inferior game compared to BL2. One should loathe entering a vehicle in this game, since there's way too many chasms to fall on. Stingray mandatory jumps are infuriating to say the least! Then there's the very, very bad problem: side quests constantly overlap, and characters interrupt each others. One can lose chunks of dialogue several times throughout the game. Quest objectives and locations shouldn't have been concentrated in the same areas. It's a huge flaw in quest design, and it's wack how the developers couldn't foresee something so simple. Claptrap's Claptastic Voyage however, is one of the best DLCs of the entire franchise! It's fun, and we enter Claptrap's mind. Hope and self-esteem can get you anywhere, that's the main lesson we learned, I guess. The road to LVL 50 however, is a herculean task not for the faint of heart.
Pre-Sequel should definitely be played by any fan of the Borderlands series, it's a solid entry, while not on par with Borderlands 2. Here's an achievement guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=413515219
I have somehow managed to play 3 borderlands games from 1, 2 to Pre-sequal and i have to say, this was one of the most boring. There are a few likable things like the environment, new types of guns, elements and most importantly new vault hunters that are hired by Handsome Jack. I have also heard that Claptrap has his own DLC, which seems to be great, although i do not own that atm.
Some things i disliked.
The story is straight forward as all those borderlands' games. You have to find the vault and open it, but nothing ever goes according to plans. Whilst you are doing the main missions, you simultaneously have to complete side-quests for some experience and then levels, but for some reason they just feel like chores. The voice acting is goofy, corny and weird. I, personally, do not dislike the accent, although, in this game, they somehow made me hate it. They talk too much, their voices are annoying and they are constantly in your head. Leveling up is also like exhausting. it took me nearly 30 hours to hit level 25 (barely hit that level too). Final bosses are great, but the amount of LVL i need to beat them is just insane. I must be around lvl28 to beat the final boss and that lvl would have taken me extra 5-6 hours, which i was not planning to put into this game, so, i modded the game to beat the last boss.
I ended up playing as Nisha, who is some sort of a Cowboy, she was nice, but her ability would annoy me more than it would help me. It locks at random enemies, almost like Aim-lock, but most of the time, it was distracting me from hitting a boss. her voice-lines are also cringe, especially at the end, where she is almost flirting with Handsome Jack. Everything he does, even if it is a horrible deed, she is like "Oh my god, Jack, that was so hot, im am wet". That i did not appreciate. There were some minor bugs too, but nothing too significant. It just felt boring for me. Even borderlands 1 was much better.
Only great thing about it, besides guns and atmosphere, was the story of Handsome Jack. You understand what kind of person he was and what became of him afterwards. You also get to know him at the deeper level, which will help you during the playthought of 2nd game. This story introduces the fact to what happened to his face and why he is wearing a mask.
Overall, The game is dull, but the story was alright. I would give it 5/10
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a fantastic addition to the series! It delivers everything you love about Borderlands—hilarious characters, action-packed gameplay, and tons of loot—set on the moon with a cool new twist. The low-gravity mechanics are a fun change, and the new characters and abilities keep things fresh. The story dives into the origins of some of the series' most iconic characters, and the humor is top-notch. A must-play for any Borderlands fan looking for more of the chaos and fun we all love!
