A much less welcome addition is the need to replenish your oxygen constantly – due to the lack of atmosphere – and while you'll rarely get caught short, when it does happen, it tends to be at the most inopportune moments.Īs well as the two main games, there's also a wealth of add-on content, the latest of which – Claptastic Voyage – is so brand spanking new that it wasn't finished in time to make it onto the disc.

In the Pre-Sequel, the action's transplanted to Pandora's moon of Elpis, which results in a couple of minor gameplay additions, such as the ability to leap high into the air and perform ground slam attacks. In this precursor to Borderlands 2, you'll find yourself in the role of a vault hunter under the employ of Handsome Jack – before he became the series' central villain – and tells the tale of how he ended up with a deep seated hatred of all vault hunters.

If you're a returning Borderlands player, it's likely that you'll have played Borderlands 2 before, therefore it's the Pre-Sequel – which only came out on the PlayStation 3 recently – that'll be of the most interest. So, what does this compilation contain? Well, not only does it sport Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, but it also has every piece of downloadable content released for both games to date. The latest title to enter this 'mutton dressed as lamb' category is Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, a title which, while clearly jumping on the PlayStation 4 re-mastering bandwagon, is actually offering up a significant serving of Borderlands, in the hope that it'll turn the heads of both series newcomers and vault hunting veterans alike. It's becoming a familiar tale of late: a much loved game from the previous generation shows up on your new and shiny gaming apparatus, dressed up, and strutting its stuff in an attempt to lure you away from newer releases. Republished on Wednesday 29th May 2019: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of June's PlayStation Plus lineup.
