There’s a coating of lovely new HD polish around the place, and the lighting is different, so the whole experience looks slightly newer, but the difference isn’t vast. I played and completed Borderlands years ago, including much of the additional content, so it’s like stepping back in time to play a game that doesn’t really look any better than the original. In many ways, writing this review is quite difficult. Furthermore, Mordecai’s Bloodwing can be upgraded into a badass bird. Roland can gain the ability to heal his allies by shooting them, while Brick can extend his Berserk skill, for instance.

Each character has their own individual Action Skill, ranging from Roland’s Scorpio Turret to Lillith’s Phase Walk, and investing skill points into the three trees of the upgrade screen will reap much in the way of rewards. The level cap in the original game was raised with each DLC pack that was added, but in this Game of the Year Edition, the level cap is already as high as it will go – 61. So the scene is set for us to fight, blast, shoot and loot, with the promise of good gear to get, new and shiny guns to discover and utilise, and much levelling to be done. I mean, it would certainly suck to retrieve the key to be told to come back in 167 years… This key is currently in pieces, scattered across the various zones, and our primary mission, as a Vault Hunter, is to recover the key and open the Vault, as coincidentally the 200th anniversary of the last opening is right about now.

Every 200 years a Vault full of alien treasure can be opened using a special key. The story of Borderlands is an epic sweep, involving monsters, crosses, double crosses, guns and fighting across the planet of Pandora.


Of course, these days there are games like The Division 2 and Destiny, so whether it can still mix it with the new boys is open to debate. Borderlands is, in many ways, the definitive looter shooter, and back in 2009 when it was launched I, and many others, hadn’t played anything like it. The game is played out in a first person perspective, and there are more weapons, shields and mods than you can shake a stick at. Colourful, cartoon style graphics mixed with lashings of gore and popping heads, exploding Skags, characterful NPCs – usually with a story to tell and things to say in addition to the missions they may have for you.

First of all, and if you’ve played Borderlands before, you know what to expect.
