Borderlands Game of the Year Reviews

Great game! Already finished it once...now to go back and complete all side quests!

it has the sense of humor almost all other FPS and FP adventure games lack.. the maps are fun and rightsized and not autogenerated. the quests are silly but still exciting.. and the gun and barter mechanics are great and fun. forget 3 and 4. 2 is good. 1 is best. (too bad they didnt make a prequel with Marcus and Moxie , Scooter and Ned as playable characters THAT would have been fun.. instead bleh/meh. Its like they decided to forget everything that made the first game popular to 'chase a wider audience'..and literally lost the plot.

Another great classic. First-person Diablo with guns, and the second-best game in the series. Addictive and full of dark humor. I remember being obsessed with it at the time, and playing it endlessly, exploring every corner in search of new secrets. Ain't No Rest for the Wicked.

I played this when I was 6 years old with my dad, it was a two year old game by that time, I was a small child playing it on the Play Station 3. I just turned 20 years old and am experiencing it again like its the first time again, playing it with friends of mine online. This is a great game and if you haven't picked up a copy I highly recommend you do. For your moneys worth there is hours of content and fun and engaging game-play to be had. I highly recommend you play this with a friend or a loved one, would make for a great gift too. This can run any pretty much any machine nowadays. That being said thank you gearbox for this unforgettable title. I remember writing you guys letters when I was 6 years old of features you should add to the game, I don't know if you read any of those... It was like add jet-packs and grappling hooks to the game. I think you added at-least one of those features in a later title... Anyway I love this game and so do millions of other players, great work guys!

very fun loot and shoot game with decent story and fun dlcs

New EULA on Gearbox/Take Two Interactive titles is invasive. Stay away from their titles while this is in effect. Steam should crack down on this anti-consumer behavior. They now collect your: bank account info, credit card number(s), RL name, postal and email address, phone number, age/gender, purchase history, web browser history, and audio/photos. This is retroactive on titles you already purchased. This wasn't here when you bought it years ago. There is no protection for you if this company gets hacked liked every other enshittifying thing that collects your data. And they will, of course, have data breaches.

great gameplay and leveling system. however, i wish the game was long enough to have used the characters full potential in some sense during gameplay.

Borderlands 1 Game Review (Disclaimer - I will be stating things I liked, but in the end why I wouldn't recommend - Also my opinions may be unpopular) (From a Non-Achievement Hunting Perspective) 1. From this perspective it is fine. 2. Decent first person combat, good humor (for the time but it has become out of date), decent story, and character variety. 3. Fun game to play with friends as the story has humor and is light and casual so it makes for shared laughs, etc. 4. Can be played single player with ease. 5. Isn't too challanging. 6. Negative is the unnecessarily large map that felt like it was just to stretch the game out. 7. Another negative that is only half negative is that it isn't as good as the other games and can be easily forgotten, but it is only negative if you don't see that it means they improved since then on a few things. (From an Achievement Hunter Perspective) 1. Because the game is very story driven and has humor elements the achievements require the game to be played three to four times making it tedious as you've kinda "been there, done that, bought the shirt". 2. The achievements could rather be changed to more secrets, etc and game experience rather than playing it until the jokes are just annoying, or all in all rather been switched to a Tell-Tale rather than First Person Shooter. (I know this opinion sucks cause shooting can be fun, but not when a game becomes so boring that you wanna nap instead) 3. Humor can be considered out-of-date. 4. 1st game can be considered forgettable, or sub par in comparison to the others. 5. I dislike any achievement that requires you to play with a developer, etc as I find it unnecessary and silly as it has nothing to do with experiencing the game. (Just another note on silly achievements for games)
