    It's the award wining Borderlands 2 in 1080p plus the Borderlands: Pre-sequel also in 1080p with all the DLC included, all for the price of one game. That in my opinion is a steal. Go get this game, there is no reason not to. Also the new four player split screen is way better than anyone expected. It is truly a very handsome collection.

    These are high quality remakes of great games, that also happen to include a TON of DLC for the price of one game. If you also take into account the sheer amount of game play to be had hours-wise, this is a steal. Especially if you haven't already played the originals. Hard to argue with that for 60 bucks.

    This is a great Value, there is not another game out there that can compete with the amount of content here, its well over 200+ hours and that just the first play through. I already owned the previous games on the 360, you can transfer your saves to the XBone, which is great so you can continue your characters. the same applies to ps3 to ps4.

    This is a great remake for the next gen consoles. Graphics and mechanics are sharper and more fluent. DLC is massive and countless hours can be spent in this classic series.

    A month ago if you asked me about Borderlands i would say something like oh no i ain't going near those games or they are not for me but playing this game has really opened my eyes to this franchise and it has got me interested and wanted to learn more about the franchise and knowing that a Borderlands 3 is on the way sounds very promising to me.

    Next-gen enhanced games Borderlands 2/Pre-Sequel are so much fun to play and is definitely worth taking the time to play especially if you are a fan of the franchise who loves going back to play them all again. co-op missions are enjoyable and even going solo is just as great. I would definitely say buy this game but just make sure that it is the sort of thing that you want as Borderlands is very unique style in my opinion, something never really seen anywhere else. Had a few technical issue plus couple glitches but apart from that a great game!    … Expand

    Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel were both amazing games with a ton of content even more with DLC added. This year Gearbox made the excellent choice to remaster them and move them to next gen consoles in one package.

    It's wild fun to play. a large game already then adding 4 large DLCs onto it has made this world deep, complex, and interesting.

    The replay value alone is insane. its been roughly 7 years since it came out on last gen consoles and still to this day I still play it quite a bit.

    I just take it as the Pre-sequel got put on the disk on accident. feel free to completely ignore it.    … Expand

I spent more than 50 hours in Borderlands 2 and to do that on PS4 again, but in a better condition.....Unbelievably Awesome. I loved it. If you haven't experienced Borderlands before, these two versions are the best way to play them currently. With all the awesome DLC, 3 full games, remastered.

    First of all, for the amount of money you're paying, its like stealing. I almost feel bad about buying this game. Not only do you get all the DLC for Borderlands 2 but also the Season Pass for upcoming DLC for The Pre-Sequal. Adding hundreds of hours to the already jam-packed-with-things-to-do game. This is a must buy if you haven't played a borderland game.

I imagine people will easily spend over 200 hours between the two games as well. I have beaten Borderlands 2 on the PS3, and unfortunately sold my PS3, forgetting to keep my saved data. Regardless, I am still going to play through BL2 again. I played the original Borderlands on the MacBook a few weeks ago prior to The Handsome Collection's release. Now, the only game that I haven't played is the Pre-Sequel and I look forward to spending time on that. Also, I have never played any of the BL2 DLC's and now I have all of them right at my fingertips! Borderlands is an incredible collection that every FPS, RPG, and console fan needs to get their hands on. Due to the lack of sufficient games released this year for the PS4, I don't see how anybody can be complaining. But hey, to each his own! All I know is that I'm going to have a blast playing this series. So much content packed into such a little disk. Thank you 2K and Gear Box for bringing this wonderful series to next gen consoles. Now all I have to do is figure out how I'm going to manage my time between The Handsome Collection and Bloodborne!… Expand

Didn't realize this was gonna be an anti-Destiny rant when I started - and frankly, I LIKE Destiny... but Borderlands is better in just about every way. It's easier to get into a multiplayer game unlike certain aspects of Destiny which just don't work for lone wolf types looking to get into a game with strangers. Overall, there's just way more creativity involved in Borderlands; the art, the writing, the acting, the guns - oh, man, the guns!

    This game is a great idea. For fans of the series, they can play it all for less and on next-gen. For people who have never played either games in this bundle, it is not only an amazing deal, but hours and hours of good content. My personal opinion on both games are 8.5/10 for Borderlands 2 and 7/10 for the Pre-Sequel, but the DLC's and the price make up for all the mistakes. A must buy.

Not only do we have two games but every single extra that was ever made will be included with them. I have never heard of half of these extras and am looking forward to exploring what they are in this complete edition of both games. Its really is a must for the gamers shelf and this is why...

    Borderlands 2 is fantastic, smooth and glorious in its faithful reproduction of the original. Having all the DLC rolled in brings extra character options which you may not have ever seen before. If you are new to the franchise you cannot go wrong with this title, its brings the genius of 2K games leading title to the big screen with all the laid back humor that comes with it. It is essentially a first person shooter with a storyline that doesn't take itself too seriously. For all that, it is widely considered one of the best FPS multiplayer experiences in the market today. The split screen is a nice feature but its the online multiplayer with your friends who can co-op into your game at any time that steals the show.

    For those who have the game and have played it, like myself, its a complete set of the game you know and love. Borderlands 2 looks magnificent on the big screen and there are a lot of options now with the DLC's thrown in. Many of which you have probably never seen. The Pre Sequel is also smooth as silk on the PS4 platform and with future DLC's rolled in you are pretty much setup for the ultimate FPS multiplayer mayhem from the comfort of your lounge room. Borderlands with DTS sound and crystal clear picture on the large screen is really an experience. But if you don't like the up front price then wait a few months and pick it up on sale for 1/3 less. It certainly is a game you will be coming back to because there is always something you have yet to find in this game with easter eggs peppered throughout the series... it's full of stars!

    In regards to the original Borderlands, 2K have said that if this edition proves to be a commercial success then they may well remaster the first game of the series. So this is like a toe in the water so to speak.    … Expand

    A solid port of the PC version minus the Physx effects (which are very impressive). If you only played these games on last gen consoles, you are in for a real treat. The smooth crispy image with 60 FPS is a nice upgrade indeed, and both games have all the DLC. This one is sadly only a 8 because the pre-sequel is pretty underwhelming.

It does not contain the original Borderlands game. I have only completed the pre sequel game which is considered the most skippable game in the series so I wanted to review it cuz most people don't elaborate on why......first I wanna start with the good this is a typical fps-rpg hybrid heaven and the gameplay is smooth and glitch free. The pre sequel takes place in outer space which adds some gameplay variety. Here you have to rush to oxygen rich areas or your health depletes. In game you have o2 gadgets to equip as part of the loot so with better gear you can avoid the problems of oxygen depleted space vacuums. You can turn on oxygen beacons to advance map areas. Inside gravity is like normal Borderlands and outside you can jump and remain gliding much longer. Some enemies wear masks and headshots can devoid them of their oxygen. Apart from that this is the borderlands we all know. The story is meh and gets you to one area to another. The worlds are fast travelable, but/and map markers are still terrible. Some parts of the game was a fluke I found the areas to advance to. Fortunately there were only about three of these areas. Credit the quality of the game enuf I stuck around cuz these were very frustrating areas without consulting YouTube to cheat. Characters in the pre sequel were fantastic...6 new vault hunters I used the baroness and completed the game with her. I will want to replay the game with another vault hunter maybe claptrap next but it's a toss up......this is where borderlands shines. A great game once around and replay able as a new experience perhaps better, perhaps worse but fun to try...loot pickups in this game seemed ok however many times chests didn't auto collect. It wasn't game breaking but that's where my two point reduction came from apart from the mapping issue. Overall I noticed the game was designed to not have you stuck. I had a hard time with certain bosses and died repeatedly. You get some top up ammo (thumbs up) but not a full refill and the boss was somewhat faster to reduce in health up to your previous best assault on their health...As a game I appreciate that this game made the effort to keep the gameplay exactly challenging enough. Now if I rate this game an 8 and borderlands 2 is even better, and you can grab this game new for $20 I'd say that's a must buy.… Expand

    If you have not played this game before and like FPS then just get it, lots of content and you will have a great time. Just keep in mind it is not a serious game, it is sarcastic and loose.

    It's everything you love about Borderlands, now on your PS4! I never had the chance to play the pre-sequel, making this a fantastic purchase. 4-player co-op runs beautifully, super happy to finally have a co-op game on PS4.

I love re-releases that include all of the DLC. Value wise, this is a winner (especially considering I bought the collection digitally for $30).

    The quality is not top notch. The art style makes the last gen graphics look a game from 2 generations ago. My characters often became stuck in the environment. Areas seem massive but in reality are lots of small walled off areas connected by portals. Some of the events are also buggy, or at least you can say they are unreliable. At least the game is forgiving about things like death.

    The defining feature of Borderlands is the abundance of weapons. Random weapons are a fun idea, but just when I find a weapon I enjoy using, it is made obsolete by the constant increase in enemies' armor and health. After you finish the game, you see an announcement that says the real game has just begun. You can collect new weapons as long as you like, but what's the point after the story based challenge is complete?

    The game mechanic also forces players to partake in side missions in order to be "leveled" enough to complete the main mission. Some of the side missions are fun. Others are the same old boring delivery missions that have plagued these types of games since they were created. Maybe I'm jaded after almost a year of grinding in "Destiny". The fun isn't in the grind. I will go so far as to say that these grind happy games should offer a no-grinding mode for time sensitive players.

    My third complaint is no dig at Gearbox, but the collection is like food past the expiration date. The game collection begs to be played co-op in a time when there are no longer enough players to make co-op viable. The co-op is ingrained in the dialogue and cut-scenes which often mention absent parties. The Borderlands community has already moved on to games like "Destiny". Funny enough, most of my playtime was with friends I made while playing Destiny. Borderlands has a nice and simple manner of handing out gear. You can randomly match with strangers and if you do, play during the busy prime time hours or you may not find a match.    … Expand

    Borderlands 2 + all dlc has enough merit in it's own right to be worth the price tag. Coupled with Pre-Sequel, this game is offering a lot of value here.

Coupled with Pre-Sequel, this game is offering a lot of value here. Definitely one of the best loot games out there. Colorful schemes, ability systems for the most part work out well, and there is a decent story for both games. I would say that the only things truly keeping me from giving this game a 9 or 10 is the fact that not all characters are totally viable late game. They definitely fall into tiers in that area, even with the correct set ups. One more problem that I've had is that the final difficulty level is extraordinarily tough. You will dump mags into enemies and you will still be put down in just a few shots by basic or bad ass enemies.

    Set ups of gear and abilities become key on the hardest difficulty and it can be jarring as well incredibly frustrating. The mid difficulty and start game difficulty operate differently than the hardest difficulty, as you can still just kind of buff up your character and use basic strategies to take enemies down. Not so in the hardest difficulty. I cannot stress enough that you will definitely hit a wall when going from mid difficulty to hard.

    It actually turned me away from the game for a long while. I just play the mid difficulty to have my fun these days. Enemy levels cap at 50 on mid difficulty or close to that. Enemies on the hardest difficulty have 4x the health and actually regenerate health. So if you aren't putting out enough damage, the fights become ridiculous and every encounter is almost a boss fight.

    Also, as much as the game wants to tout having so many guns at your disposal, this is not the case. The game randomly generates stats and parts on guns and it won't be long before you realize that certain blue and gold grade weapons will be the way to go. Boiling "bazillions" of guns down to a few hundred. Which is still amazing. But I feel it's worth noting.

    You also want to be coordinating with a team if possible. Maybe not so much for the difficulty, but because I've personally encountered scenarios of people just standing in the main city just kind of chatting or screwing around with stats instead of going out and doing quests. But thats just my personal experience.

    Those things said, this game is still a lot of fun. Characters are memorable, especially the antagonist, for the most part as well as the world around you. A **** ton of content for the price tag. Highly recommended if you are into games with shooter and rpg elements.    … Expand

Their main selling point is the RPG character development and loot system. The characters have unique abilities and skill trees. As you level up you get new skills, stat boots and abilities. Some abilities branch the character in different directions so that two different builds are more like 2 separate characters. There are tons of options and you can keep experimenting with different set ups of skills, abilities and equipment (YouTube has lot of videos about builds). The loot system is great. You get a lot of loot in different rarities. It never fells cheap or to rewarding (good balance). Borderlands 2 is the superior game with better design, story and a great villain. The Pre-Sequel is pretty good but inferior. The most interesting part of the Pre-Sequel is the story of Handsome Jack, the villain of Borderlands 2. In the Pre-Sequel you learned how this initial good and heroic man became the bad guy. After it I understand his motives. He is the hero Pandora deserves. A big selling point is the dark humour of the games and the interesting and in some cases crazy characters. The graphic and music are fine. I accepted Cel Shading as the Borderlands art style and it will age very well. My only point of critic are the bugs in the Pre-Sequel. In some areas the game freezes and I had to reset the game. All progress was lost (5 to 10 Minutes each time). This happened multiple times in a row in multiple areas and I could only finish the parts by sheer luck. Overall I gave Borderlands 2 a 10/10 and the Pre-Sequel a 8/10. Combined this is a 9/10. I would recommended this game for its sheer amount of game play (The DLC are added in the package) and enjoyable play time.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I'm mainly going to place my opinion on the pre sequel and I'll say this about Borderlands 2; it's good, moving on. So if it's unknown to you what happened in Borderlands 2 than the pre-sequel will be confusing for you the basic jest is there's a guy called Jack he's incredibly evil and a huge a**-h*** and on Pandora there's room for only one so you kill him. In the pre sequel however they decide to tell you (in more detail) about his uprising and how he became Handsome Jack. This seems to be a good idea, the problem is several plot holes or unclear 'things', you see (spoilers) Angel back in Borderlands 1 was an ai but in Borderlands 2 it comes out that she's actually a Siren and Jack's daughter, and in a echo recording he's still Handsome Jack (not Jack, there's a difference) and pulling the strings of everything yet it turns out (according to the pre-sequel) Jack turned into Handsome Jack AFTER the events of Borderlands 1 but the recording indicated this was before Borderlands 1 even with someone telling Jack to put his mask back on, confused? I sure am. Theres a bunch of these little flaws that depending on your need for the storytelling aspect of these games will irritate you, for me it's a pretty big let down as I feel like they're forcing us to feel sympathetic to Jack but I just got confused more than anything. So another thing about the story is the characters and how I generally don't care for most of them, we already know what happens to mostly everybody (save the narrator of the story, Athena) we play as NPCs from Borderlands 2 who are villains and you end up killing them so right off the bat I didn't care for any of them since I knew where they'd end up making me immediately detaching me from caring for them.
    So another big part of the game is the 'shoot n' loot' which is still there so if your here for that than go ahead, but they also added another part of the game as your on the moon that means zero gravity! And the constantly depleting oxygen supply you have... The zero G is great and is pretty fun to just jump shoot and stomp enemies but the constant draining oxygen sort of hampers the experience for me, one major thing that got me about this game was how cluttered and tight everything was, compared to Borderlands 2 (sorry for comparing them) there was the all important quiet time, kill a bunch of enemies and enjoy the sweet release of nothing just walk around looting exploring, here though the constant oxygen depletion meant I had to be quick which means I barely had time to myself and there was the constant quests are on my back with also a GIANT SPACE LAZER SHOOTING THE MOON!!! Making me feel like I had something constantly weigh on me to a certain point of where some jacka** asked me to do a mission I did it and the place was at the other end of the map with no detail of how to get there constantly shooting enemies with oxygen running out and then when I turn in the mission i get another telling me to go back and do something, at which point I said "F*** this!" and focused on the main story, but later on near the end stretch I was really hyped going into alien ruins with all my friends saying 'good luck' and I was super excited but the immersion was quickly destroyed when I saw a bunch of quest pop up making me want to rush through the game not giving a crap, I got this again when I went into said alien ruins thinking "HOLY COW THIS IS AMAZING!" But this was swept away as AGAIN! More quests showed up. And the ending, obviously brought no satisfying conclusion and bringing up more questions than answers all along the way. Needless to say this game fails in my eyes as a single player game, Co-op (as usually recommended for these games) is probably 100x better I'll never know because of how un-motivated I am to drag myself through the game that I already know how it ends up. Even with this I still say it's good just not as good as Borderlands 2, even with that the handsome edition is a must buy as your getting the Pre-Sequal AND Borderlands 2 ALL DLC which if I'm doing math correctly Borderlands 2 is like 100$ with all all it has! So grab a friend (tie him/her/it up if you must! The cops will understand) and have a blast!    … Expand

Borderlands 2 is filled with the entire game including DLC with updated graphics. It simply looks amazing and has everything that lovers of the franchise could ever want. Choosing between six unique vault hunters, each having three skill trees to go down, allows for each player to have different experiences. There are a countless amount of side missions and weapons to choose between. Multiple game difficulties to play through the makes each game more intense than the last. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel allows for similar gameplay that it had in the past. Which for a Borderlands fan, is lovely. Overall, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection comes with two amazing games for the price of one.… Expand

    The amount of content in Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, is as generous as the amount of guns dropped in the game. Not only are there two really fun RPG shooters to play, but you also get all DLC for free! While there is a lack of new content to be seen, if you haven’t played Borderlands 2 on the PS3, or haven’t experienced every piece of DLC, then, oh boy, is this the game for you.The amount of content in Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, is as generous as the amount of guns dropped in the game.

While there is a lack of new content to be seen, if you haven’t played Borderlands 2 on the PS3, or haven’t experienced every piece of DLC, then, oh boy, is this the game for you. My only problem is that The Pre-Sequel does have some pacing issues, because more often than not, I found myself underleveled after completing a story mission and beginning a new one, and since the side quests’ rewards aren’t as generous in terms of exp, it can get a bit grindy at times. But nevertheless, I still love The Handsome Collection for all the guns, laughs, and content packed into a single $60 package.… Expand

    A great game. I never had a chance to play it on PS3, so prior to borderlands 3 launching I had to play it. Borderlands 2 is fantastic, great dialogue, game play, weapon choices are unique and fun. I played as a Siren and had a great time. Its a very funny game also there are parts that will just make you actually laugh out loud. The npcs are an absolute joy to meet and do crazy quests forA great game.

I played as a Siren and had a great time. Its a very funny game also there are parts that will just make you actually laugh out loud. The npcs are an absolute joy to meet and do crazy quests for them. The villain is actually my favorite though everything he says is great. The writers nailed this one and its a fun combat system to go with it. A must play in my opinion, i'm actually disappointed I didn't play it earlier.… Expand

    I’m giving this a 10 mainly because of borderlands 2. Borderlands 2 is the far better game with months and months of side quests and missions to do. I put 8 months into BL2 and 1 month into borderlands the presequel. I enjoy the presequel but there isn’t enough to do or kill to make you want to grind to become stronger. Both graphics still hold up well today.

    Absolute fantastic game, the artistic direction is a real success and the gameplay feel good. The four playable characters are all interesting to play.
    That PS4 version isn't technically exceptional but has the merit of proposing a pretty steady 60fps.
    The real interest is the compilation of all the DLC, which brings the experience to an even higher level. These expansion in addition    Absolute fantastic game, the artistic direction is a real success and the gameplay feel good. The four playable characters are all interesting to play.

    O Borderlands 2 é um dos meus poucos "fps" favorito, deve ser a melhor mistura entre tiro, rpg e loot.

    Borderlands 2: 9/10

    Charismatic characters, lots of places to explore, hundreds of weapons, online co-op, lots of fun side quests, thousands of things to do after the main story.

    A good port, but just a port – there’s no new content here and the visuals haven’t changed since the original PC versions. [06/2015, p.61]
