Borderlands: Legendary Collection

Fight your way through hordes of enemies on alien planets with an absurdly large number of weapons.

“Borderlands: Legendary Collection” includes three complete games (and all available DLCs): “Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition”, “Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel” and “Borderlands 2”. In the first installment of the series, you travel to Pandora as one of four mercenaries searching for a mysterious chamber with alien technology. “Borderlands 2” continues the story and confronts you with supervillain Handsome Jack, who tries to seize the valuable treasures of Pandora. “Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel” then tells the background story of Handsome Jack and is set between the other two parts.

“Borderlands” is THE classic loot shooter, which means: there are a lot of enemies to kill and even more items to collect. All weapons and upgrades are randomly generated, resulting in a huge number of possible combinations—ranging from very deadly to hilariously absurd. At the beginning of each game you can choose from several characters that offer unique abilities. Whether you prefer to specialize in ranged combat or use drones to attack head on, there is a suitable class for every playstyle.

The story of “Borderlands” isn’t particularly exciting, but it’s still entertaining thanks to quirky humor and weird characters. The missions can be repetitive and the sheer mass of weapons can be overwhelming at times, but despite this you can expect hours of fun in split screen mode with “Borderlands: Legendary Collection”. If you like the genre and have a big enough screen (> 50 inches), you can’t go wrong with buying this collection, especially because it includes so much content.

Why you should play it:

• Great coop shooter with ridiculous amounts of weapons, interesting classes/skills and some weird humor.
• Includes three full games and all available DLCs, even the first one is still worth playing thanks to some improvements.

Please note: All “Borderlands” games are available for PC on Steam, but local coop only works on consoles.
