Borderlands Legendary Collection is a set containing three parts of the looter shooter series called Borderlands. In addition to Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, the compilation includes add-ons to each of them.
Borderlands Legendary Collection is a compilation of three parts of the best-selling looter shooter series (combining FPS and RPG elements). The set released by 2K Games includes not only Borderlands, Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, but also a number of add-ons to each of them.
Borderlands takes us on a journey to the desert planet of Pandora, where a mythical crypt is located, hiding countless riches. It's being followed by Vault Hunters. It is in them that we take on the role in the game. The action of the second part of the series was set shortly after the events presented in the first one, and it tells the story of a group of other characters who have to stop the sinister Handsome Jack from appropriating Pandora. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, on the other hand, is played out between the events from the first and second part of the series. The players hit the moon of the planet and, following Handsome Jack's commands, observe his slow transformation from a sober-minded man to a ruthless tyrant.
In the games that create the Borderlands Legendary Collection, the action is observed from a first person perspective (FPP). In each of them, the game begins with choosing one of several characters representing different specializations and possessing unique abilities. While travelling through vast open locations (on foot or at the helm of the vehicles), we are engaged in a variety of tasks (apart from missions pushing the plot forward, there are a lot of side quests waiting to be performed here), as well as fighting against hordes of enemies. During dynamic battles we make use of an impressive arsenal of firearms and combat skills. As we progress, we gain experience and advance to the next levels, and we also develop the combat potential of heroes by finding more and more powerful equipment.
The games that create the Borderlands Legendary Collection can be played alone or in multiplayer mode. We can play in the company of another player on a split screen, while on the Internet we can work with up to three people.
While working on the Borderlands Legendary Collection, the authors did not make any major changes to the graphics of the games. As the first part of the series appears here in the Game of the Year Edition, there are some improvements to the original, with a minimap, an improved equipment screen and an automated process of lifting first aid kits and ammunition.
Each of the games included in the Borderlands Legendary Collection has been enriched with numerous expansions. In the case of the first part of the series, it is referred to: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx and Claptrap's New Robot Revolution. Borderlands 2 was extended with add-ons: Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, Mechromancer Pack, Psycho Pack. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel received the following DLC: Claptastic Voyage, The Holodome Onslaught, Baroness Pack, Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack.

Game Ratings for Borderlands Legendary Collection Video Game.
COGconnected: 85 / 100 by Patrick Anderson
Going back to the start with Borderlands, you get the whole story of the Vault Hunters as they seek to uncover the secrets of Pandora’s Eridian legacy — and score lots of sweet, sweet loot. It feels a bit outdated in light of the improvements implemented in Borderlands 2 and 3, but it still hold up surprisingly well. The Pre-Sequel gives some backstory to on one of the franchise’s key characters, Jack; and Borderlands 2 gives Handsome Jack center stage in what is probably the best game narratively as well as in its more refined action. These base games along with all their respective DLC make the Borderlands Legendary Collection a great value of action-packed insanity, on the Switch or any other platform.
God is a Geek: 9 / 10 by Mick Fraser
Borderlands Legendary Collection is an incredible port, suffering very little slowdown or visual impairment. If you missed this series before, now's the perfect time.
Pure Nintendo: 9 / 10 by Kaelyn Daugherty
The Borderlands series was better then I expected. Get over 200 hours of gameplay with this Legendary Collection of the first three Borderlands games. If you're a fan of first-person shooters, then I highly recommend the Borderlands Legendary Collection on Nintendo Switch.
