    I'm giving this a 1 until the powers that be FIX THE MATCHMAKING! Since this launched 3 days ago, my friends have struggled to play together (the way this game was intended to play ). The end result is wasted hours with all 3 of us not being able to get together & bailing in frustration.
    Until that glairing issue is fixed, this game only warrants a 1 from me.

    The matchmaking in this thing is broken...Unless you want to play solo offline its nothing more than menu simulator 2019....You can't join random games, you can't invite your friends...Not sure who thought it was a great idea to release this thing in this condition...Im also pretty sure the fast travel is also broken, because in trying to fast travel ANYWHERE your only options are the DLCThe matchmaking in this thing is broken...Unless you want to play solo offline its nothing more than menu simulator 2019....You can't join random games, you can't invite your friends...Not sure who thought it was a great idea to release this thing in this condition...Im also pretty sure the fast travel is also broken, because in trying to fast travel ANYWHERE your only options are the DLC areas....Was looking forward to this, but when you release it with broken matchmaking yeah no.....Maybe that could change when they fix it, but somehow considering who is involved I bet its not a priority...But don't forget to pre-order Borderlands 3, this game is constantly going to remind you to do that. So is the Handsome collection that they could patch in pre-order 3, and I would bet its also in Borderlands 2 VR… Expand

    WARNING DO NOT BUY !!! LEGIT THE WORST GAME

    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    WARNING DO NOT BUY !!! LEGIT THE WORST GAME

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
