    Gearbox's release of Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition brings the missing piece of the franchise to current generation consoles. Mechanical and visual improvements solidify Borderlands has always been a fun, beautiful game that was quite forward-thinking despite some things not aging well.

    Even ten years after its original release, Borderlands is still a great co-op experience, which looks great thanks to its "cel-shading" graphics (4k resolution in PS4 PRO and Xbox One X).

    Having already seen Borderlands 2 squeezed into the PlayStation Vita (with, admittedly, ropey results), it’s a surprise this version of the first game isn’t also coming out on Nintendo Switch, but that’s an issue for another day. For many though, having an excuse to replay Borderlands 1 on the same console as the Handsome Collection is good enough. Definitely worth a play if you’ve never done so before, but perhaps not all that essential anymore.

    A fun looter shooter that needed a more polished remaster.

    Between Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition and the updates to the Handsome Collection, Borderlands is back in a big way, and that’s to say nothing of the main attraction coming in September. Unlike more recent entries in this space, Borderlands doesn’t hinge on fragile in-game economies or being stingy with loot. Instead, it's a game that just wants to have fun – silly, brash, play-it-with-friends kind of fun. Welcome back old friend, you have been missed.

    A mixed bag. It’s fun to revisit one of the first “looter shooters” for consoles again, and the mix of run, gun, and loot still holds up well despite its age. But this is hardly a perfect port/remaster of that game, and because of that, it’s difficult to really suggest picking it up.

    The original looter shooter delivers a sandbox that is highly immersive, very atmospheric, and dangerously addictive. It's still a blast to play!

    The game is a very high quality remaster of the original and adds many QOL changes that improve the game in many ways, the only real flaws IThe game is a very high quality remaster of the original and adds many QOL changes that improve the game in many ways, the only real flaws I see aside from some things that are obviously dated, is that the add for BL3 is kind of annoying and cannot be turned off. There are also some matchmaking issues online but that is only an issue if you want to play online. Also among all the QOL changes I'm sad they didn't add fast travel to the dlc because that is clearly their biggest flaw. I'm glad that this was actually made and is a classic from a bygone era and brings back some great memories for a great price.… Expand

    This is the literal worst port ive ever played in my entire life. SOOO many features are missing from the original. Not to mention, IT CRASHES ALL THE TIME AND EVERY TIME IT CRASHES THE SAVE DATA WILL BE CORRUPTED AND YOULL LOOSE ALL YOUR WORK.

    It crash on the final wave of the hard moxxie dome and when i opened the game back up it was completely gone all those hours waisted for nothing.

    The only good thing this literal waste of space did, inhumane abomination not even Satan would approve of game is it showed everyone who worked on it and should be mocked, shamed, and ridiculed for even being apart of its development.    … Expand
