This is close to a 4-star, considering how similar it is to BL2. On top of everything it retains from BL2, the new additions of zero gravity, butt slams, laser weapons, and the cryo element are great mechanics that I hope stick around for BL3. I also think they did a good job with the playable characters' respective skill trees. My hangups revolve around the time before getting back to Helios. Traversing those areas is a drag and the missions and characters during those sections are bland. The lack of endgame content, compared to BL2, is kinda disappointing but its not as big of a detriment for me. Grinding and farming don't really interest me, so I'm cool with less of that. Plus, UVHM isn't as punishing as BL2 and I was able to succeed without having to rely on legendaries.
This is one of the more "okay" entries in the franchise. I didn't feel as much of a connection to the environment, characters, or weapons in the game. It's frankly very short, and the inclusive of the oxygen mechanic feels "whatever". If you enjoy Borderlands 2 and you want a little extra, it's an okay playthrough, but get it on sale if you can.
6/10
I've tried I think 3 different times since it came out to get through this game and it's just too much of a slog. This weird, massive dip between 2 and 3.
This is like an Atari game, with a first person shooter that happens to take up most of the screen.
Take Borderlands 2, remove all of the fun characters, add in a few mechanics that no one enjoys, and release it buggy as hell.
che que mal que envejecio el writing de esto
¿Tiene todo lo bueno que puede ofrecer un Borderlands? Sí, el gunplay es idéntico y añade un par de novedades como el oxígeno o la gravedad cero que se sienten bastante frescos.
¿Es el Borderlands menos inspirado que he jugado? De lejos. Es muy corto (15 horas para el 100% de las misiones) y trae muy pocos secretos de base. No se hasta qué punto es un nuevo juego o se trata de una expansión stand alone del Borderlands 2.

Definitely cops more flack than it deserves. it honestly improves on 2 in a lot of ways, but makes a lot of gameplay aditions that are just, excesive. Fucking RULES to hear ACTUAL australian voice actors though.
Immensely fun game, bogged down by its rushed development however the core story and mechanics are still as fun as ever.
Highly recommend to fans of the Borderlands franchise.

Uggggggggggggggggh x 2
Can initially seem like a glorified DLC for Borderlands 2, but it adds more than enough to stand on its own. Probably the best story in the series, but lacks the endgame content to keep you invested after you finish it.
Almost a good game, but has a lot of problems with the maps and campaign. The characters are fun, at least. Fuck Randy Pitchford.
It's the same game, but you're on space I guess so it's cool. But guess what? The writing still sucks! Also fuck you , Randy Pitchford.
Gameplay wise it's slow and annoying. You need to refresh oxygen constantly if you play as a human character, so play Claptrap if you want to make it faster. Unfortunately, if you play Claptrap, you're going to get more stretched-out unfunny and annoying dialogue so it's a lose-lose situation.

How the fuck did you got cringier.
The Pre-Sequel is the Return of the Jedi in Star Wars. Return of the King in LotR. And more aptly, it’s The Battle of the Five Armies in the Hobbit. It’s the third part of a trilogy that seems to have overstayed it’s welcome by losing a little bit of charm from the second installment.
For reference, I dumped 80 hours into Borderlands, 154 hours in Borderlands 2, and only 74 into the Pre-Sequel. Shame on me for thinking I would get the same experience in BL2. The Pre-sequel feels like a half-baked attempt at a Borderlands game.
Before getting into the game, I was already annoyed out of the gate when Gearbox didn’t offer a 4-pack like the previous two games. My three friends and I were planning on getting the 4-pack and play through as co-op. Instead we each shelled out $60 plus $40 for the DLC, which we also thought, (shame on us again) would be near the same level of quality as the BL2 DLC. Fans of the series I think would agree with me, that Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep was some of the best DLC BL2 and in recent memory. It was funny. Fun. Long. And unlike anything else we’d seen in BL. And this was just one of the DLC. Mr. Torgue’s Campaign was great. Captain Scarlette was great. But in the pre-sequel we get a bunch of packs and an Onslaught level thing. Nowhere near the level of quality in the previous game.
The game itself is riddled with bugs and graphical glitches and strange physics- which is strange because Boderlands 2 was like a rock. Here are five examples of bad QA. There was even a sequence where we fell through the map
And finally the story itself is just not as engaging as the previous games. It feels dull. Uninspired. And downright boring. The four of us made the best of the co-op experience, which I would recommend playing it that way if you choose to play this game. Playing solo would be like watching paint dry.

everyone on the moon is some breed of ultra-australians that will never shut up or stop giving you shitty fetchquests, i guess. even if you ignore the story it's just a mechanically worse bl2
It just feels like a mediocre re-skin of Borderlands 2, with an annoying oxygen mechanic and uninspired character classes.
I couldn't bring myself to complete it with my co-op partner.

Nisha is the most fun BL character I've ever played with. Her character absolutely sucks personality-wise, however.
complete garbage
Underrated Borderlands game. The origin story for Handsome Jack!
it's less good!
Athena is the best character class in the series by a mile for me and the game fixed Borderlands 2's awful exponential scaling, but it lacks the thick postgame and I was honestly burned out on BL2 long before it came out anyway so I didn't play it quite as much.
It was around here that the formula lost its charm.
This game is so fuckin fun idk why people shit on it so much
This is my favourite Borderlands game, lol.
I loved seeing how Handsome Jack became the villain (and he's literally the only thing I care about in these games) and the classes were insanely fun (Claptrap is a highlight)
It also put a massive shade of grey on the 'heroes' that you play as in other installments that I really appreciated.
Underrated, imo.

I've never been able to finish this. And I've tried. Multiple times.

Gearbox: "Do you like Handsome Jack? Well here's more of him!"
me: "Yes, please, thank you."
