Borderlands 2 Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:



Borderlands 2 is a FPS, RPG with a metric tone of weapons.

The story is set after the opening of the Vault from the first game. Because of it, the world of Pandora now has Eridium, which is extremely valuable mineral. Also for some reason there is another Vault filled with treasures, just waiting to be discovered.And of course your are a Vault Hunter searching for the Vault.


When you start the game, you get a vision from the Guardian Angel. She tells you to follow some ClapTrap, just like in the first game. 
Then comes the first problem i have with the game - the first 2-3 hours are boring as hell. No interesting characters, weapons, or locations. The game really kicks off when you get to the city of Sanctuary. The game is a really slow burner, but once you get to the city the story, characters and cheesy jokes get much better.


Now gameplay, that is the second problem i have with Borderlands in general. The weapons feel weak, with very small recoil and bad sound effects. This makes the game really boring, especially if you are playing alone. So if you dont have friends to play it with, you will probably hate it. 
One good thing that i can say about weapons, is that they starts getting cool effects, much earlier then in the first game, but that is about it.

Another big gameplay problem, is the vehicle handling. Who was the genius who taught that you should steer with the mouse, for the PC revision? This kills all enjoyment, you may have had in a vehicle.


Still Borderlands 2 deserves to be praised for the PC port. Its is perfect in every way - from the massive array of video options, to the gampley options. You can adjust the gameplay to your preferences, and that certainly wasn't the case with the first game.

The RPG elements are close to those of Borderlands 1 - a talent tree with lost of passive effects, many randomly generated weapons that you change frequently, and a fairly interesting side quest.


To top it all of, Borderlands 2 is more of the same, therefore if you liked the first game, you will love this one, but i certainly did not.


I hope you liked my review of Borderlands 2 .
