The DLCs, the ones that are in the Season Pass, aren’t helping much either, even if none of them are bad. If not for the gameplay improvements, this would’ve been as much of a sleepwalk as the story of the original title. Most importantly, perhaps, things just never feel fun or exciting, despite how grand they might be and despite how cool characters participating might be.

Jokes, always a questionable part of the series (arguably Tales of Borderlands is the strongest in this regard), rarely land, though the overall tone and characterization is leagues beyond Pre-Sequel. The main villains are surprisingly meh, despite some cool ideas for them, that is even without comparing them to Handsome Jack’s disgusting charisma. Not as bland as the original game and its DLCs, not as boring and unfunny as the majority of Pre-Sequel, but nowhere near as intriguing as the second game. Somehow, despite giving even more personality to the characters, including the player characters (who have a voice and personality throughout the game, just like in Pre-Sequel), despite expanding the universe of the game by allowing you to visit different planets, despite having some really cool ideas and moments, everything is painfully bland. Granted, the game still takes far longer to go through than it should, especially given that the narrative is too weak to support the length, but at least the process of playing the game is enjoyable.īut yes, the story here is extremely forgettable. And it helps that now a lot of the maps are more interesting to explore and far more varied, that all of the most fun movement options from the previous entries were reintroduced, including the butt stomping and low gravity from Pre-Sequel (whenever applicable), that everything feels less grindy and boring to go through. The way guns and enemies behave was tweaked just enough for the game to feel like it could be a pretty okay shooter game, if you were to remove all of the loot focused action RPG parts. Yes, enemies still tend to be bullet-spongey, yes the boss encounters are still obnoxious rather than challenging, but it’s far less of a problem now. Heck, even the actual first person shooting, something that has always been weak in the series, has been turned into something rather nice. Everything that was weak, incredibly tedious or annoying has been redesigned to “simply work” and never get in the way.

Every system, every gameplay idea, every element about how quests get unlocked, how secondary stuff on maps works, how you automatically suck in all resource-type loot, how you have full body awareness and can mount obstacles. So many things about Borderlands 3 feel like what was in previous games, except finally done right. I wish that this fourth game in the main series would’ve been the baseline we had from the start. In many ways, I can’t help but wish Borderlands 3 was the first Borderlands game. Yet here I am, playing Borderlands 3 (and 4 big DLCs for it) without even expecting to like it much. I’m not a fan of loot focused action RPGs, I don’t often play coop or multiplayer and every single main game in the series has been at best “kinda nice”. You won’t miss anything important Borderlands to me was always a mindless game to play while listening to music or podcasts.I’m still not quite sure why is that I’m attracted to the Borderlands series. 2 is better unilaterally and in general they’re very similar games so you wouldn’t want to play one immediately after playing the other. You won’t be missing anything by skipping the first. Do you need to play Borderlands 1 to play 2?
Additionally, the gameplay is smoother and better in later games, so you won’t want to go back and play BL1 after playing BL2. There are story references in later games that will be richer and more meaningful if you’ve done so. The minimum level is 15 for all but Knoxx one, which is lvl 35 min. Does Borderlands 1 DLC scale with level?Īll the DLCs scale depending on your level. Play the first Borderlands, and then the DLC – some of that is really great. Even though the Pre-Sequel shows a story that takes place between the two games it hinges on your knowledge of the second game. You should play them in the order they were released.
This is because Borderlands: The Pre– Sequel’s introduction and ending actually take place after Borderlands 2. Should I play Borderlands 2 or pre-sequel first?īorderlands: The Pre– Sequel mostly takes place in-between Borderlands and Borderlands 2, but you should play Borderlands 2 before diving into The Pre– Sequel. Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel are both included in Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. If you’re insisting on playing the past Borderlands games anyways, then you can play the first game through Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition.
