![]() The style is a blend all its own, using a cel-shaded look that makes everything look slightly more cartoony. While the series doesn’t feature a steady main character, you meet several quirky (and mostly insane) characters who are all trying to either assist, kill or profit off you. The world is mostly occupied by psychopaths, bandits, raiders and a variety of deadly wildlife, flora and fauna. On the planet Pandora an ancient Alien vault was hidden, and everybody has been after its contents ever since. The Borderlands series focuses on mercenaries called Vault Hunters. So, let’s talk a bit about what goes on in these games. The Pre-Sequel stands on its own, but you will miss out on a ton of story references, inside jokes and build-up if you haven’t played Borderlands 2 beforehand. Borderlands 1 is still really enjoyable, but the gameplay consists of a lot more fetch-quests and the game does get really repetitive in a short amount of time. ![]() This is, in my opinion, the peak of the series where both the gameplay, visual style, humour and characters are at the top of their game. If you aren’t interested in the complete collection and would only want to play one of these games, I’d suggest starting out with Borderlands 2. While each game can be purchased separately the collection offers an incredible amount of content, including all the additional DLC, which are hefty chunks of content. This collection consists of the first Borderlands game, Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. For those of you who haven’t had the chance of playing these games before, the Switch version offers a great way to play these games both on- and offline. With a huge cast of eccentric characters, a unique style of humour and an overwhelming number of guns, the Borderlands series reinvented the first-person shooter. The original title was applauded back in 2009 for its unique art-style, but the franchise really got going when the sequel was launched in 2012. I think Gearbox and 2K Games never expected the Borderlands franchise to grow as big as it did.
