Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a fun romp back into the wacky world of Pandora, this time with a low-gravity twist! You get to play as new characters like Claptrap (hilarious but can be annoying) and Athena (way more fun than I expected). The shooting is still satisfying, the loot is plentiful, and the humor hits most of the time. However, the story isn't quite as strong as Borderlands 2, and some missions can feel repetitive. Still, it's a good time for fans of the series, especially if you like the idea of blasting aliens while moonwalking around.
If you take just the story out, and are a Borderlands fan, this is an enjoyable entry. It fleshes out some characters and gives good backstory to the events of BL2. However, the gameplay I think is some of the worst the series has offered.
On the surface the idea of low grav SHOULD be fun, but they made the maps so damn big and constantly force you to backtrack on them to the point of pure monotony. Also changing the loot system so that many legendaries dont have dedicated loot sources means that you could easily get to the final boss without a single legendary. You know, the thing that makes a looter shooter like this fun?
I was excited to go for the 100% on this game, but after having done it, I can definitively say its my least favorite game in the series by far.

The worst Borderlands game on account of being the least interesting and most annoying one (an incredible feat). The game isn't terrible, but I just didn't care about it the entire time I played through the story. Worst cast of selectable characters, worst setting, worst gameplay, with me giving particular note to the oxygen mechanic, one of the most tedious and sluggish things I've had to endure in a game. It's still a Borderlands game, so it's gonna be dumb mindless fun at some base level, but it's clear that the series was starting to age poorly by this entry, and 3 did not get much better. Just very disappointed, mostly.
Borderlands the pre-sequel is pretty decent this is my 3rd time going through it (I'm making my friend go through the games) what puts this down alot for me is the map design and some of the guns (laser guns especially 👎) most of the guns i picked up weren't bad they just didn't seem fun to use.
The story is what carries this a lot,and the last 2 scenes are my favorite. The side missions were great obviously,they never fail on them.
And then the characters 🤷🏾♂️ I only remember playing 2 characters I can say they have some decent characters to play (I played Wilhelm he was alright) i remember nisha being a little annoying to use sometimes but she was good too.
So mainly you MIGHT not like this game compared to other borderlands games cuz of it's map design and guns
