It's safe to say you've probably already played Borderlands in some form. The open-world looter-shooter franchise has made an appearance on pretty much every console since the original game released in 2009. This isn't even the series' first appearance on a portable system – Borderlands 2 saw release on the PlayStation Vita in 2014. Thankfully, Borderlands Legendary Collection is a much better and more complete effort to bring the series' first three games and DLC to Nintendo's miniature marvel.
You're getting a lot of looting for your, er, loot. The Legendary Collection packs in the original Borderlands, Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! along with – almost – all their DLC. The final Borderlands 2 DLC – Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary – has not been included here, presumably because it was released to bridge the gap between Borderlands 2 and the sadly-not-on-Switch Borderlands 3. Everything else is here, though, and that's easily 200 hours of blasting action if you get hooked. Also, in a pleasing touch, the games install separately – no need to set aside 50GB of precious MicroSD space (it's worth noting that you can actually purchase the original game on its own on Switch, and the sequel and Pre-Sequel are also available in a double-pack that can be purchased separately).
If you somehow haven't played Borderlands yet, it's a genre-blending first-person shooter with a mission-based structure incorporating heavy, heavy loot elements; that is, there are many thousands of different guns to find and equip, each with different properties, stats and tweaks. This means that you'll always be on the lookout for another, better instrument of death, which gives the game a compulsive loop as you gradually increase in power.
You pick your Vault Hunter at the start of each game, then head out into the world of Pandora, progressing through the story either solo, in split-screen or online with up to three other characters. Who you choose determines the abilities you unlock as you level up. Each character/class has a different major skill – for example, the Siren can turn invisible, the Gunzerker can temporarily dual-wield weapons and the Lawbringer lets you automatically switch targets after a kill. Multiplayer brings these skills into larger focus as you'll need to use them to back up and complement the abilities of your teammates; enemies get stronger the more players are in the game.
This experience is observed across all three games on offer here, with the expected upgrades and new elements as you move through the series. That said, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! is exceptionally similar to Borderlands 2, and the original Borderlands on offer here is based on the recent Game of the Year Enhanced Edition, which backports features from its sequel. As a result, playing through these games can feel very familiar as they're all fundamentally the same kind of thing. But that's to be expected.
The original Borderlands is still fun, but feels like the vanilla experience after playing its follow-ups. It's samey looking compared to what comes later, but it's still worth a visit, if not a re-visit. This version includes quality of life features from its follow-ups (a mini-map replaces the useless compass, for example) but it's still very much a trial run for a series that would find its feet (and sales success) with its sequel. Which, as presented here, is still a treat to play.
Next up is Borderlands 2, a vastly superior sequel that takes everything from the original and cranks it up to eleven. More guns, improved diversity of the locations, superior missions and generally better everything. Unfortunately, this "more, more, more" philosophy sees Gearbox double down on the often-excruciating Borderlands series "humour", which effectively amounts to screaming, memes and screaming memes. That said, it's easy enough to mentally tune this stuff out of your head and just focus on the mission. Borderlands 2 is the main event of this compilation, and with all the DLC included, you'll be playing for a long, long time.
Finally, you've got Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, which – hopefully obviously – takes place between the first two games. It's pretty much exactly like its predecessor/sequel (this is confusing!) but, due to taking place on one of Pandora's moons, there's now the addition of an oxygen meter as well as enormous low gravity jumps which can be chained into satisfying downward slams. There's also a fun, quirky Aussie tone to the whole thing, thanks to being developed by 2K Australia. It lends a nicely distinctive character to your time with the game.
So what we've got here are three good games, and let's be honest, you probably already know if you like them. The most important thing, then, is whether or not the Switch can do them justice, and we're happy to report that they're a treat to play on the system. All three games look just as we remember them and run at a firmly locked 30fps both docked and in handheld – if there were any framedrops when things got busy, we didn't notice. It's very impressive stuff. Not as impressive as the PS4/Xbox One's 60fps Handsome Collection, sure, but better than the original PS3/360 releases and certainly better than the Vita port.
The games control well on Switch, too, with tons of options including the rather wonderful motion controls, which really helps with precision sniping. It's a responsive version as playable as any other. We'd recommend a solid grip for the system though, as the shoulder-button heavy controls could lead to a nasty case of claw-hand. Online play is as simple as it has ever been, though in our time with the game we encountered very few fellow Vault Hunters – an unfortunate casualty of it being a late port of a series many people have already rinsed through. When we did get connected, though, it was a smooth, lag-free experience, and a lot of fun to play in handheld.
Conclusion
Borderlands Legendary Collection is an excellent Switch showing for this beloved series, though it's difficult to determine if the price is right; sure, there's an enormous amount of content here so you're certainly not being ripped off, but it's old content and these games are routinely extremely cheap on other services. Still, it's a technically excellent port of three expansive, enjoyable shooters, and they're a perfect fit for the Switch. Whether played alone or with pals, the compulsive gameplay is terrific to dip into or get stuck into for a massive grinding session. If you've somehow never played Borderlands before, you can't go wrong with this set. If you have, but want to try a different character class on the bus ride home, now's your chance.

"It's safe to say you've probably already played Borderlands in some form" - Nope.
The idea of a "loot shooter" really puts me off, just sounds horribly grindy. Glad to hear it is a good port though so perhaps I'll give them a go. Are they fun to play through if you are just looking to complete the story and do not care about collecting thousands of guns?
Humour is annoying, unfunny and omnipresent con? Clap Clap IGN.
Think I'd rather have The Outer Worlds on Switch than this. But all of them look really fun. Glad to hear critics agree.
I realize these are based on the remasters of the games, but shouldn't people still assume games that range from 2009 to 2014 would run well on Switch? Weird question, but it seems worth pointing out that these are very old games and Switch should be able to handle them very easily...
@IronMan30 Not a ludicrous thing to expect by any stretch, but we've been burnt with certain re-releases in the past haven't we?
I love the cringe humor in BL2. I guess its just me lol. These are some of the best crafted shooters ever. Pre-Sequel is meh but there is worse out there. I will forever take these games over the trash that destiny is. Pretty much every "looter shooter" pales in comparison to Borderlands. Especially 2. I have 3 for ps4 and it totally should be released on the switch as standalone.
Three downloadable tickets, even if you bought them in person.
@Incarna the pre-sequel was a great game, just a tad short. But is was more borderlands 2.
I'm thinking I may get this. I played thru Turok 1 and I'm playing thru Turok 2 now. ( The level design is really really bad at some points) so I'm looking to do a more modern fps. This looks fun.
I like the humor.....
Borderlands 2 was one of my favourite experiences on the PS3 and that's definitely the one to play, it's much better to play it in coop too but is perfectly playable solo and it has some great pop culture references throughout
I love the humor in the Borderlands games, but I understand that humor is subjective. I don't necessarily believe it should be a Con.
Been playing since they came out, I've ran into a few bugs (nothing and save and quit couldn't fix) and noticed that some of the old methods of cheezing bosses has been patch. For those saying it's grindy as F, I would like to take this time to mention that the drop rates for legenaries is significantly higher then the original. So it won't take you a week to get farm that legendary from one boss, just between a couple of hours.
@Ooccoo_Jr I played the first borderlands co op with a friend and loved it! Tried to Play the second one solo... not so much. I feel like these games are really good co op but not the greatest for single player
@AlexOlney fair enough, I guess. It's just irritating that we're supposed to even pose the question. These are old games, not looking and running well on Switch would be patently absurd. Just as it was in other cases.
Really looking to get these but the price is too high. Bioshock collection as well, but until they implement gyro I'm swerving that
Lots of great game coming out recently for the Switch. And yet I used my funds to pick up Ring Fit Adventure, as I feel I haven't exercise enough during the pandemic due to my gym being closed for a few months (though it's reopening here next week.)
"Humour is annoying, unfunny and omnipresent."
I guess I can understand this being a con for the reviewer — but it shouldn't be a "con" of the actual series. It's a subjective matter.
Bought these. Played it on Vita and - as much as I love my Vita - it was just waaaay too much for it.
@Ooccoo_Jr You don't really collect "thousands of guns". Sure there are tons of guns but we're talking about variations of stats, accessories, and side effects to make up those numbers. Asides from top tier legendary guns which have different special effects, most guns are just stat numbers. Find a higher stat gun, swap it. It's not a pokemon gotta catch em all situation.
To answer your question, yes the stories are very enjoyable even if you don't focus on the grind. The grind is usually for those who want the absolute best and maxed out legendaries from the RNG Gods.
BL1 is a bit text heavy and subdued but still great, BL2 and PS have way more pizazz in their presentation and a lot more character/attitude. Looking back, PS isn't as well liked by fans. It's still an OK game, very similar in style to BL2 but not as polished.
@mesome713 I hope you look into the switch performance of outer worlds before deciding...
@Danrenfroe2016 LOL Just wait till you get to the infamous "Lair of the Blind Ones" level in Turok 2 Whoever was the designer for that level seriously must have been blind because that was a nightmare for me even with a guide.
@mesome713 Have you seen how The Outer Worlds looks and plays on Switch? As far as bad Switch ports go, its only better than Ark and thats it
These old games are ported and quite often start at a high price, using the Switch as a cash cow.
Then after some months the discounts appear. So I guess it's not always a good idea to buy straight away.
On the other hand the lack of new Nintendo games (we don't all like AC) does leave the door open for the third party games to make a killing.
@Hughesy @d_omini_c Yeah, critics say the game is still a bunch of fun.
I love the humor and the games are fantastic on the Switch.
The humor a con? If it´s one of the best things about Borderlands! XD I guess it´s not for everyone, like every comedy.
Awesome games, anyway, and awesome ports. BL 1 and 2 are simply brilliant; Pre-sequel, however...
@IronMan30 I'd argue that not only is it not ridiculous, but the part of the review describing how the game performs on the Switch is the most important part of the review. As the reviewer says, many potential buyers will already have played the games on other platforms. Even for people who haven't already played them, any review aggregator site will already have dozens of reviews of the games from when they were originally released. The main thing I want from a review of the Switch port of the games is a description of how good the port is: how does it perform, and how well did they adapt it to the Switch controls.
Also, while I agree that any game which ran fine on Xbox 360/PS3 should be able to run fine on a Switch, it's not a given that it will. I can't remember which games off the top of my head, but I definitely recall some other last gen console ports to Switch that didn't perform well on Switch. Any time you're porting code to a different hardware platform, it's possible to mess it up and end up decreasing performance.
Does Borderlands run at 30 FPS the way The Outer Worlds runs at 30 FPS?
@zool I love Nintendo first party exclusives, but I also love having the availability of high quality AAA third party titles available as well. I quit gaming for a few years, so for me, this is my first time getting to play many of these games. While there are many who played these games before, there also many like me who are seeing these for the first time.
That's one of the great selling point for the Switch. The other is for hard core gamers, they have a portable platform to play these types of games. There are many PC+Switch, Xbox+Switch, PS+Switch gamers who like having these as well, even if they might have already played them.
@Ooccoo_Jr the experience is strongly built around co-op, especially Borderlands 2 where some quests are just an infuriating slogfest against huge waves of enemies.
If you can rely on consistent co-op either online or off then the grinding isn't much of an issue.
These releases from 2K are the gold standard of Switch ports as far as I'm concerned. The Borderlands ports are flawless.
@Incarna I played and enjoyed the first two on PS3. Never played PS, but I recall it being well received by critics. In your opinion is it substandard compared to the others?
@d_omini_c dont waste your breath on that one. Just head over to that thread and see for yourself 🤦♂️
@Ooccoo_Jr The game is really only as grindy as you want it to be. In BL2, for example, each boss has a unique legendary gun with a low chance of dropping. You could fight them over and over to get every drop (and some people do), but this is in no way necessary.
Think of the "looter" element as this - enemies drop guns and you can buy guns, so you're frequently finding better equipment as you play. Sometimes you'll have something cool and overpowered for a few levels, sometimes not. Fun either way.
Any idea if it has motion controls and how it works?
@Fredbu no i believe it actually runs at 30 unlick that buggy, shoddy game. Outer worlds reminds me of a flick book 😂
Check out switchup on youtube they are really good reviewers and give a good analysis not as heavy as DF. They have done all borderlands individually and also the nio shock games. My go to channel.
Borderlands 2 is one of my favorite games. Great enemy so many unique, funny characters, and tons of different fun to use guns.
I'm playing the original for the first time now. Doesn't seem as good, but I've still really been enjoying it. It still has a lot of fun guns to use, it just doesn't have as many interesting characters.
Great addition to the switch. The gyro controls are awesome( I just had to increase the sensitivity on the original by a lot) Hopefully 3 gets released too, I still haven't got to play it.
@janpampoen check out switchup on youtube. Awsome channel and they go in to all the ports and how good the features run.
@janpampoen it does and they work good for me. In the settings you can change the sensitivity and even invert the motion controls if you want.
cons Humour is annoying, unfunny and omnipresent. seriously lighten up and get a fffffffffffffffffffffffffff life. You dont have to be PC all the fffffffffffff time. Most of us get this s$£%£$%t rammed down our throats all the time at work and guess what some stupid toilet ffffffffffffffff humor is fun. why do you thin south park is still going strong and all this pc garbage lasts one season. Gaming is a hobby and place for fun not a place for your creppppy left wing politics.
@Kidfunkadelic83 I watched that just now and they weren’t as critical as Digital Foundry. They didn’t mention drastic frame drops at all. Really confusing coverage. Yes it looks like ass but if it runs okay I’ll play it.
@Anguspuss To be fair, the humor is annoying. It’s like they wrote it for 10 year olds.
The humour is so cringy I could barely get through the pc version
@Fredbu @Kidfunkadelic83 Hopefully Outer Worlds can get a significant patch here soon to improve the game. I really wanted to get this game, but yeah, it doesn't look good. Virtuos has had a good track record on the Switch, so I wonder if COVID-19 made the team have difficult finishing the port, or if they spread their resources too thin with all the different games they are porting over.
Regardless, I will hold until a patch comes out and likely pick up Borderlands, Bioshock, Xenoblade DE, etc. Too many games, not enough money!
@Anguspuss Some people like toilet humor, some don't. I don't think this has to do with politics.
I honestly think these games are hilarious. Me and my dad still mention Buttstallion all the time.
I hear from some reviewers that the humor is bad, but I've been enjoying it so far. I've authentically LOL at times, which I never do with games. Shouldn't be a con.
@Ooccoo_Jr Not a very grindy game at all. You don't really have to worry about collecting guns, it kind of just happens while you play.
@mesome713 excellent. I have the mental age of two five year old's so this should do.
@Ooccoo_Jr you do not collect them... You use 1-3 and switch to a better one if you find it...
and it is not grindy at all...
@IronMan30
You can’t assume anything. Yes “ Not as impressive as the PS4/Xbox One...but better than the original PS3/360 releases and certainly better than the Vita port” is exactly where ports like this should fall but experience has shown that isn’t always guaranteed (Saints Row the Third for example).
@Anguspuss
Why on Earth are you bleating on about ‘PC’ and ‘left wing politics’. The reviewer said they didn’t find it funny. There’s no need to bring Politics into everything.
Only briefly played the original, so this is mostly new content for me. Really happy that the Switch exists, after that poor Vita version of 2. We finally have proper portable Borderlands. 😁
The humor is a mix between great and annoying
I've played all the Borderlands games and I'm really excited to see the Switch ports hold up well. And in all honesty, the $50 price for 1, 2, & 1.5, plus all their dlc is amazing. That's $15 a game and a $5 tip. With, given how much time you can put into each game, is more than worth it. Yeah, they are cheaper elsewhere, but the price we're paying is to help support the studio who ported this over. And the reviews show they did a good job.
Can anybody confirm how many the games are on the physical cartridge? I thought I read at one stage that it was only going to be the beginning of each game? But then elsewhere mentions the first game only + download codes? Thanks in advance.
I'm ok with the price in order to take a portable punt at this stellar collection.
Cheers for the review guys.
@bilboa I'm making a prescriptive argument. Not a descriptive one. Yes, from a descriptive standpoint, we're getting some shoddy ports of older games. That is the reason we get reviewers talking about performance and visuals in the first place. I guess it makes sense if you're looking to double dip, so I will grant you that.
My point is that it's ridiculous we have come to expect anything less than competence from studios porting older games to Switch. Reviewers having to point out how said old games perform on hardware that is capable of handling them is absurd.
That's it.
@Multi Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition is on the cart, you must download Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Presequel.
@Link41x thank you.
@electrolite77 that's sort of beside my point. We should expect this performance, that's fine. Iz
don't have any issues with Switch, just how we're conditioned to view ports. I don't see why we should expect these games to perform poorly. Third parties need to do better at porting games to the console, is my point.
@kingbk Outer Worlds will stay a mess.
Switch is too weak (sadly a fact) for some games, even the Xbox One (base model) does struggle with some new games (some even run at 720p) and that system has more power than the Switch.
Switch is great for older well optimised ports, or games made with the Switch in mind (like Nintendo their own games) but for newest games, the price we often pay is not always worth it.
I really hope Nintendo will bring out a heavily boosted Switch very soon, because these ports of current AAA games will only get worse when new Xbox and PS5 come out, and thus the power gap will rise even more.
I like the Switch a lot, but if we want to have better ports of heavier new games or even keep getting ports at all... this situation must change very quickly.
@Ooccoo_Jr Very fun to play through with a friend. Played through part 2 with my brother in law, had a blast. Played part 3 with randomers and found it quite dull. Might have been because it was so similar to 2 and there was no proper banter with randomers. Part 2 was my first and I loved it, definitely give it a go 👍
Picked it up “physical” for £29 and looking forward to playing these games for the first time.
@alasdair91 where did you get it cheapest I’m seeing is £34
Bought the he handsome collection from russian eshop for £26. Enjoying borderlands 2. I never picked them up on PS4 so first time playing got me.
I personally like the humor. No, it's not high art, but it makes me laugh.
Humor is what makes the game, and the guns and shooting and everything else. Love Borderlands
Played all in PS4 and Xbox 360
Love borderlands and the dark humor and characters there.
Already bought the physical copy.
@Gs69 The Game Collection outlet on eBay.
@mesome713 Could be worse,the humour could be on the level of those that wrote the script for Mass Effect Andromeda.....😬😄
I find it crazy that this collection, with 3 games at a lower price point, smooth frame rate, crisps graphics and full graphical detail can be rated the same as Outer Worlds.
Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to playing OW on Switch, but these ports are much better done.
Humor is completely subjective but I don't even know why that's a con in this series' case
Borderlands has some pretty funny writing imo
Never played any of these games and certainly haven’t got a spare 200 hours. Sounds like BL2 is the one to go for. Would I lose anything by jumping straight into BL2 and skipping the original? Or do ya recommend playing the first one?
@Paraka Not quite true- the first game is on cartridge with the other 2 being download tickets. I did see a sizable update day one though.
Seeing how Borderlands was packaged put me off from buying Bioshock at this point. I buy physical games so I can sell them when I’m done/ don’t like it. Making the other games redeemed by code makes it near impossible to sell these once done.
@gwyntendo I asked this on Reddit and got told there is no reason to play the first game if you just want to buy the handsome collection.
I love the game and think the price is very good for the amount of content you get. Runs great and it’s a lot of fun in solo too.
@electrolite77 Amen. Also, I know people on both sides of the spectrum who like toilet humor and those on both sides of the spectrum who don't. That comment came off as someone annoyed with the recent news.
@IronMan30
I’m with you now. I agree, there’s no excuse at all for anybody not being able to get a PS3/360/Wii U game running well on Switch.
@alasdair91 nice one gonna put my order in now thanks for that 👍🏻
Got this collection for 12 bucks last year new on the PS4 and was pretty bored by Borderlands 2. Hard to put my finger on it...it was really easy and kind of felt "vacant" in it's layout. I play a lot of Fortnite so my noodle might be a bit too cooked to appreciate this. But man oh man was that robot annoying.
It's funny tho, these "late", "old" or very "old" rereleases on Switch that don't contain much on the actual Switch card...they are so expensive comparatively speaking to PS4 releases as they stand now, that by the price difference you could just straightup get a PS4 Pro and prob save money in the long run.
@gwyntendo "Would I lose anything by jumping straight into BL2 and skipping the original? Or do ya recommend playing the first one?"
That's a tough call. I like Borderlands, but I like Borderlands 2 so much more. It takes everything that's great about the first game and builds on it. Plus movement speed is faster in Borderlands 2, which I really like. I tried replaying Borderlands recently, and it felt so sluggish compared to BL2.
@Incarna
ehh. I liked the pre sequel better than 1.
2 is of course the best of these 3. Haven't tried 3 yet.
@Rayquaza2510
We'll see. RUMOR was they have a pro/2 model lined up but Covid halted it for a bit.
Rumors and all of that.
Not for me unless on steep discount as I abhor its humor, but I am happy to hear it plays well.
"sadly-not-on-Switch Borderlands 3"
Well that is basically how it works on Switch. You get all the old stuff and need to go buy a console from Microsoft or Sony for the rest.
They should at a minimum announce 3 with this release. Even if for next year.
Same way, Switch owners should not also need a $300 PS4/xbox to know how Metro ends.
@Mamabear Not sure that's true. Not all of the first game is on the cartridge either. Pretty sure there's a download for that also,which just shows how much they really cheaped out on the physical release. I'll have to find out to be sure
@Fredbu they wont until their review buddy then they will put the fps scaler on screen which will show you the drops when and where they happen.
Just looked at it and they do mention the drop and where they happen the worst albeit they dont delve as deep as DF. Even have the scale on screen to show you what they drop to.
https://youtu.be/nOtR8uHe5vQ
This is what i watched and it told me enough to let me know its not good enough for me. Sure if you dont mind the dips and can overlook the graphical decrease then im sure there is still a fun game in there.
Yes now I could finally put away my PS Vita copy for good.
I've never olayed any of them in all honesty! Might wait till there's a flash sale and give them a whirl.
Good to hear the Switch port of these games is top-notch. But, if I'm able, I'll just get it on the PS4. Anyway, the humor in these games is terrible. The only character that's funny and great is Handsome Jack. Everything else tries too hard. Oh, and Moxxi is excellent also, can never forget about my favorite hostess/bartender.
I love the Borderlands humor, it’s one of my favorite things about the game!!
"Humour is annoying, unfunny and omnipresent"
Really? Too much water?
Nothing really. I just wanted to claim the 100th comment 😂😂
I’m getting a too old for massive grinding sessions. 🥺
@PlayedNSlayed I suppose it could be true that what I assumed was an update could be part of the first game. Anyone would be able to download that first game if you sold/ traded it in since it’s built into the cartridge.
I’ve had similar experience of that playing a used copy of Spyro- since the games were built into the cartridge/ not a download code I could download and play them all even when someone else had done so before.
I’ve never seen a download code that could be used more than once so I’d assume that using the download code for the other two games would make a resale of those impossible.
It is really disappointing how they’ve released the games this way. Pretty much makes a physical copy pointless imo.
@Agramonte
Yeah at least I found out how the Halo story ended on the original Xbox, and the Uncharted story on PS3, and the Metal Gear story on the original Playstation.....oh wait.
What a ridiculous complaint and just another pointless pop at Switch.
I'm having a blast again on Switch. My PS4Pro must be thinking I'm insane with it already on there. But there's just something extremely satisfying with playing it on Switch. Great port, great games (yes I love the less loved Pre-sequel one a lot). YAY!
Also I recommend getting all three. 1 for it's more quiet and vanilla tone + the excellent DLC, middle for some fun crazy mechanics and 2 for just an all-round solid game.
I’ve never played a borderlands game before. Might be worth picking this up sometime:)
“It’s safe to say you’ve played Borderlands in some form”? You know what they say about people who assume things right?
So yeah nah, never played Borderlands in any form.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Thanks man!
@MyNameIsRandy Oh that is rad. Like Splatoon!
I’ve never played Borderlands before- I found it was coming to Switch before I bought them for Xbox. I’m disappointed in the download codes for 2 of the games but the game plays and looks very good. I started with the first but I’m not far enough in the game to make any decisions about the humor.
Why is that game "perfect for handheld play"? What makes it so special?
I play my Switch 90% on a TV. What do I lose from this "perfectness"?
@Mamabear - Is it playable without that patch?
@locky-mavo yeah I don’t get that. There’s so many assumptions thrown around on this site. Never played it before in my life. Never owned a Playstation/Xbox and I don’t game on PC. It also makes me laugh when posters do that here as well. They get “we” and “I” mixed up a lot.
@Paraka I’m not sure about that. Space isn’t an issue since I have a large memory card and I’d rather play a game at it’s improved state so I just download before getting started.
Humor is annoying, unfunny, and omnipresent?
Wow, either you have a bad taste in jokes, or you're having a bad day.
@Ooccoo_Jr The story is extremely fun and the characters overall are great. As well as a couple of the second game's dlcs. They can all be completed without ridiculous grinding. But grinding the optional bosses is also very rewarding in general.
@TheFullAndy Nonsense . We are not talking about games in the series that will exist 3 years in the future on another generation. These are games that are at stores and finished. The same generation the Switch is part of.
Just like it got a port of a game from 2013, it can get the one from 2019. A game that came out 15 months ago is just a different level of "old" at this point.
@Agramonte
Nonsense is right and it is everthing you just said. Borderlands 1, 2 and pre sequel are from another generation to 3.
Switch is not playing the same generation game as Sony and Microsoft. It is time you realised that.
"Humour is annoying, unfunny and omnipresent"
I seem to have wandered into a review of (BBC TV's) Mrs Brown's Boys by mistake.
Hmm. Think I might have to get this one sometime. If it runs better than the Xbox 360 version, then that is good enough for me since that is the version I originally played of Borderlands 2.
@mesome713 I get that people don't like that about the game but I played 2 when I like just turned 11 so tbh at the time I didn't care
idk if someone is still onto this review but as I consider BL my favourite franchise ever i cannot refrain from saying that this port is one of the best things to ever come to switch apart from Zelda and probably project triangle.
for 45e you bring home 500 hours of frantic gameplay which could by itself justify the purchase of the switch.
and even if the structure of each game is similar to the other it does not result in any sort of dull gameplay as the additions to each chapter make it worth its while.
it's like watching the office over and over again, it's the same thing, some seasons are better than the other but yet you still watch it - sure, guns and gore are a little more present in BL, but so is Erin in the Office...
