I created an account so that I could post this review.] I played Borderlands first on the PS3 and enjoyed it very much. I was excited when I heard that the first three games would be making their way to the switch. Who doesn't love a little portable looting and shooting? I have finished the main game and the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and can report that they are as wonderful as I remember them being; however, (and I skipped Moxxi's as I hated it when I first tried it and am not willing to go down that path again) I have found that there is a game-breaking issue in General Knox's Secret Armory that I don't recall encountering back on the PS3. The Prison Break: Over the Wall mission has become impossible for me to complete as I cannot launch my vehicle over the prison wall--something I recall doing on my first attempt on the PS3. I've spent more hours at it than I care to relate here and can find no sweet-spot from which to complete it. I inevitably fall short. As this is a story ending issue, it has forced me to close out that DLC and move on to the next one. A brief search of the web reveals that I'm not alone in this problem. I hope that Gearbox can work on a patch or workaround. By some reports, they added rocks to the landscape to stop a "cheat" where players were able to scale the wall if they fell short and landed on the outside ledge. Alas, this wonderful revisit to Pandora has come to an untimely end.… Expand

    Borderlands on the Nintendo Switch is an absolute JOKE. I can not understand all of the good ratings. Not at all. The massive input delay (about 0.5 seconds!) makes this game almost unplayable and definitely completely unenjoyable. Even with aim assist the aiming in this game is so bad that I am constantly frustrated. I paid 40€ for this. How is it that other, MUCH older ports (like ShadowBorderlands on the Nintendo Switch is an absolute JOKE. I can not understand all of the good ratings. Not at all.

Even with aim assist the aiming in this game is so bad that I am constantly frustrated. I paid 40€ for this. How is it that other, MUCH older ports (like Shadow Man, for example) manage to have flawless, smooth controls, while for such a big title, the game hasn't been optimized at all? Do not buy it! Just don't! The experience you will get is nothing like on the consoles (XBox 360 / PS3).… Expand

    Sure, this is the first time they’ve graced a Nintendo platform, but that only means that if you’re in that elusive “Nintendo-only gamer who likes shooters” demographic, you owe it to yourself to pick up the Borderlands Legendary Collection. For everyone else, though, it’s harder to see the value proposition. Pick it up if you want these games on the go, but be aware that you’ve had up to ten years to play some of these games on other platforms, and this doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

    Borderlands brings a wealth of looter-shooter action to the Switch, guaranteeing you countless hours of co-op grinding as you blast your way through all sorts of alien creatures and various shenanigans. All of the original charm and humor are intact as well, and the game runs fantastic and with the inclusion of all the original DLC, you won't be getting bored anytime soon!

    For hardcore fans, you’ve almost definitely already gone ahead and bought Borderlands Legendary Collection and I say more power to you. I may not have the connection to the series that other players do, but I can confidently say that this is one of the strongest Nintendo Switch ports I’ve played and a fantastic compilation of games.
