Epic Mayhem on the Moon in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Explore the chaotic adventures on Pandora's moon in this fun, yet slightly flawed, installment of the Borderlands series that introduces new characters and mechanics, but struggles to innovate beyond its predecessors.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a first-person shooter game developed by 2K Australia and published by 2K Games in 2014. It is the third installment in the Borderlands series and takes place between the events of the first and second games.
The game is set on the moon of Pandora, and players take on the role of one of four characters: Athena the Gladiator, Wilhelm the Enforcer, Nisha the Lawbringer, or Claptrap the Fragtrap. Each character has unique abilities and skill trees that players can customize as they progress through the game.
The game features both single-player and multiplayer modes. In single player mode, players embark on a series of story-driven missions that involve battling enemies, scavenging for loot, and completing objectives to advance the plot. In multiplayer mode, players can team up with other players online to complete missions and fight enemies together.
One of the unique features of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is its low-gravity gameplay mechanics. Players can jump higher and move more freely due to the lower gravity on Pandora's moon, which allows for new strategies and tactics during combat.
The game also includes a new weapon type, laser weapons, which have different firing modes such as continuous lasers, beams, and explosive blasts. Players can collect weapons throughout the game, each with its own unique stats and abilities.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel received generally positive reviews from critics for its humor, engaging gameplay mechanics, and interesting storyline that connects the events of the first two games. It is a must-play for fans of the Borderlands series and first-person shooter games in general.
