    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.

    This game is seriously a steal. I don't know how people can say that this is a gimmick for money by 2K and Gear Box. This is a present for Borderlands fans and an incredible experience for players new to the Borderlands collection. As others have stated, all the DLC's plus cross saves between systems?

I don't know how people can say that this is a gimmick for money by 2K and Gear Box. This is a present for Borderlands fans and an incredible experience for players new to the Borderlands collection. As others have stated, all the DLC's plus cross saves between systems? This game is a huge steal. Referring to the launch date's of these games, this is over $200 worth of content. 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

    Giving a review score of ZERO means you think the game literally is unplayable garbage to the max. So if you have been ABLE to play a game for more than 1 continuous minute without a crash...then it at least deserves a 1.

    Probably the most fun to be had on a next gen console. This game gets everything right. The graphics may not have the resolution and fidelity as Destiny, but the art direction is better. The acting and voice overs in Borderlands blow every other game out of the water (especially Peter Dinklage's monotonous droning on in Destiny.)

The acting and voice overs in Borderlands blow every other game out of the water (especially Peter Dinklage's monotonous droning on in Destiny.) 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! Overall, an absolutely essential title for every next gen console owner.… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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]

    If you can look past its flaw you'll find a bundle with more charisma and creativity than most on PS4. [June 2015, p.91]
