    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).

    Despite a few technical issues, Borderlands: Game of the Year is an amazing looter shooter remaster, and when played with a group of friends, is still one of the most enjoyable titles of the last decade.

    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.

    Not a game that particularly needed a remaster but that in itself speaks to the quality of the original and the potential of the new sequel.

    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.

    I would give it a 10 if not for the matchmaking. I have to say something though. The game shouldn't be given a 1 just because you cant playI would give it a 10 if not for the matchmaking. I have to say something though. The game shouldn't be given a 1 just because you cant play with friends at the moment. The game is still amazing and fun to play. It is still the fun billion guns, killing maniacs, finding the vault game that we all love. It shouldn't get a 1 just because there is an error that they will fix once they're done prioritizing their next big game. i would understand if the glitch or error was game braking, but you can still play the game, just not currently with people online.… Full Review »
