While the game itself is quite fun, it lacks in the memoribility of the previous titles.

Most enemies are just retextured versions of Borderlands 1 and 2 enemies with different names and the same combat styles with slight variations. The story, at least to me, seemed rather short and uninformative compared to 2. You do get some decent information on Jack's rise to power and his actions in the second game... but you also miss out on vast amounts of possible info as well that simply wasn't added.

Gameplay is identical to the previous games with the added element of needing oxygen and a low gravity environment. Control in low gravity areas (which is almost everywhere) is fairly easy and I believe they did that well. The need for oxygen is rather annoying if you are someone who would like to explore or boost everywhere. One of the higher capacity oxygen masks that I found was about 170 capacity. Each full boost takes down 10 of that.... so you will quickly deplete your supplies if you want to move around quickly in the somewhat barren areas.

Going through the first playthrough was fairly entertaining and only slightly challenging, as it should be. The second playthrough is just difficult and unforgiving. Enemies are constantly 2-5 levels higher then you and you progress and nearly everything can 1 shot you without warning. In many cases the badass variants of enemies can be harder then the bosses of the area you are in. You will be required to farm xp and weapons quite often if you don't want to get constantly slaughtered in every area.

The NPCs are all rather limited with dialogue and quests. There are several good side quests, but most are very generic. The rewards from them tend to be average as far as usefullness goes... but some are just pointless.

While the previous titles contained a lot of humor that was easy to understand, the Pre-Sequel seems to have little to no humor without first researching what it is they are trying to make humorous. I did find a few rather amusing parts, but they weren't as memorable and laugh inducing as the ones in the previous game.

As others had mentioned, glitches and bugs are quite a problem... depending on what happens. I have been killed by nothing, been shot at through walls, and even been the victim of rocks/platforms that aren't really there. I have also been blessed to have a never depleting shield, one shotted some enemies that I know I shouldn't of been able to, and had enemies be motionless while I unloaded on them. It definately needs to fixing.

One more small annoyance I had...
Bosses, in the second game, were a primary source of farming for legendary weapons and items. In this one, many of the bosses are one time only fights with no chance to farm them. There are still several bosses that can be farmed, but not many effective ones.

Now for some good things.

There seem to be more chests around then in the second game which in beneficial to loot farming. Getting to the few farmable bosses is a fair bit easier then on 2 as well. Farming said bosses can be challenging, but manageable when properly leveled.

The Vault Hunters' skills are all rather unique and can be quite effective in solo or multi situations. From Claptrap's randomness to Nisha's autotargeting, they all make for very unique characters.

Plenty of sidequests to do and a few easter eggs to find make it quite similar to Borderlands 2 in that aspect. It can be quite entertaining to find whole quests that are just easter eggs as well. :)


I suppose, overall, it is a good game in need of some work. Hopefully any future DLCs and updates will remedy most of it's current problems and make playing it a more enjoyable experience. I think, as it stands, I would give it roughly a 7.5/10.

I do like the game, it just needs work. But I would only recommend getting it after a bit of a discount as it currently is. Unless they fix some issues first.
