The gameplay is incredibly addictive, smooth (at a remastered 60 FPS) and surprisingly substantial with the character development, though this is present less in the Pre-Sequel. There isn’t much to say about the Borderlands: The Handsome Collection that hasn’t already been said. The latter of which is one of the best DLCs I’ve ever played. The DLCs for both of these games are impressive too, with a major standalone for the Pre-Sequel taking place in Claptrap’s mind and the many add-ons for Borderlands 2 – both minor and major – feeling just as substantial think Oasis and Tiny Tina’s imaginary Dungeons and Dragons map. All these would contribute to a different experience which I found to be a more than pleasant one, especially when playing with friends. The Pre-Sequel provided context behind the rise of Handsome Jack, the chance to play on Pandora’s moon and on Hyperion’s space station, and the opportunity to navigate environments with less gravity. Alas, while there is some truth to this, that is by no means a bad thing. The same can’t and won’t be said for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, though we should not give in to the collaborative bombardment that it gets just because a lot of other critics and gamers thought it was more of the same. It is one of the best games of the Xbox 360 generation without question – it is Gearbox’s magnum opus.

There isn’t a dull moment playing through Borderlands 2.
