Quite literally a mustache-twirling adventure

Solid DLC for a solid game. Whenever I killed a zombie, they dropped zombie brains and I collected them all. Finished the DLC and I still don't know why I collected them.
Too many zombies around you will be frustrating but you'll get through.
I loved the reference to Shaggy from Skaggy Doo!

The first DLC for Borderlands is pretty solid. Coming out in the peak of the 2000's/2010's zombie boom of course borderlands needed a zombie DlC, and so the zombie island of Dr.Ned was born. It's pretty fun, gives you hordes of zombies to shoot through, but it doesn't offer much else on the gameplay side of things. The aesthetic is definitely the highlight, DLC 1 brings in some much needed colour to Borderlands and though it's not much it feels like a breath of fresh air, after the main game.

Eh, it's fine I guess. Honestly the enemies are way too samey, a couple types in particular are a pain in the ass, and my god I think the hordes are even worse here than the base game. At the very least, the writing and story were still on the ball.

the zombie island of dr ned dares to ask bold questions, such as: "how do you make borderlands fun with only melee enemies?" and the answer is certainly not this. this dlc is so incredibly mindless. just mowing down stupid, slow zombies. never going to play this again probably

Wow this was actually pretty fun. This is the first DLC I am playing during my Borderlands playthrough and I think I enjoyed it more than the base game. It felt a lot like Left4Dead, but with much more enjoyable gameplay.

I loved the parts when the HR Jakobs lady is trying to reassure you in the most corporate way when giving you the lift while you have to defend yourself. Also having Dr. Ned turn into a horrific zombie that resembled the likes of something from Doom was also really cool.
