Borderlands 2 Review (zmanandtails)
Borderlands 2 is the second entry in the critically acclaimed ‘Borderlands’ series. This game, in my opinion, is the best in the series, and here’s why I think that.
+ Really good story
+ Awesome Campaign DLCs
+ Lots and Lots of loot to be had
+ Each character is fun to play as (with 2 being DLCs)
+ Lots of action and things to do
+ High replayability
+ Funny and good writing (much better than Borderlands 3)
+ A villain you will love, and love to hate
That being said, there are a few things I actually dislike about this game, and I’ll list those below.
- Legendary loot is extremely rare, and can take hours upon hours of grinding a boss for a legendary you want
- Trying to obtain all the DLC can be a hassle
- Playable characters rarely say anything or react to anything story-wise (they do talk though)
- Currently no true cross-platform play (you can play with friends who own the game on Epic via Shift, but you cannot play with friends on console platforms).
This is a really fun game that will keep you engaged and entertained for hours. This is even more true when you get the DLCs. Like I said previously, the DLCs can be a hassle to obtain, but here’s what I recommend for them: Wait for a sale, and then buy the Handsome Collection and the Commander Lilith and the Fight For Sanctuary DLC, as it’s the only DLC not included in the Handsome Collection.
Doing this, you’ll have access to all Borderlands 2 DLC, as well as Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and all it’s DLC’s. You’ll get two games, and everything they have to offer.
All-in-all, this is probably my favorite Borderlands game. I even went through the trouble of getting all achievements for it here on Steam, and I’m still working on doing so on PlayStation. You won’t regret getting this game, especially in the way I recommended picking it up. This game is essentially a must-play.
