A classic, an original "looter/shooter" game. If you haven't played this game yet, but you like first person shooters, then you should pick this one up! This is similar to the original Borderlands, with tweaks to graphics, game play, and a slight increase in customizing the colors of your Vault Hunter. Seriously, try it you will like it. :-)

So, this comes as a rather late review of a redux game that has already been out for a while. I am a huge fan of the first two games of this series. I have played both games in the Redux version and I played a little of the first Metro before it came out as a two-pack for the Redux versions. There are definitely reasons to play both, though most gamers looking to play these games for the first time will like the redux versions better for all that they include from the add-on content from the originals.

I like the atmostphere in-game, and the occaisional scare from an enemy that pops-out from a hiding spot. I enjoy that you can play the games guns blazing, or try to sneak and stealth as much as possible. The book series of the same name are a good read if you are into that sort of thing, and much like movies, there is way more content in the books than the game.

I will not spoil much here, except to say that if you are a fan of games like Thief where you can choose to play through in more than one way, or even multiple times. For me the game's environment is unique and I enjoyed the lighting effects, the zombie people and creatures. At times, the ability to find supplies was annoying, but that is the survival part of the game. With a 20-series NVIDIA card, you can easily play with everything on the highest settings. I have a 1st gen Ryzen 1700, non-overclocked, 16GB RAM, RTX 2060... so nothing super fancy by any means.

I bought this game not really being a pure puzzle person, and not generally buying games like these, but I was not disappointed!

The game is a lot of fun, it is just difficult enough, (there are a lot of odd shaped and small pieces that are often rotated), that the solutions are not always so straight-forward. The stained-glass pictures that are the puzzles are very eye-catching and this is a fun game for me as it is so very different from what I am used to playing. This is relaxing and more of a thinking game, though not very long over all, is a great break from the usual!

I started this game almost two years after it came out. I was able to get a lot out of the fisrt two in the series, and tons of people were complaining about this game, so I held out.... Don't listen to the hype! Yes, it was made by re-using a lot of the content from the second game, no the story is not as deep and there are not as many locations as BL2, but I love this game! It is fun, the no oxygen, jumping is a lot of fun! Try it, you will like it!

Ok, I have been playing this game since shortly after it was released, and before I played the original Borderlands game. I have a hard time not going back and playing this game after finishing another game in my library. This game never gets old, and there are always unique guns to find and loot, and even though I have played the game as every character it is still fun!

They just updated the game again yesterday, what a testament to the developers to still be working on this game after so long! This is the perfect game for me, just my style, I can co-op and I can develop characters/ storylines on my own. Seriously, this is a really good game, even if you have never played it before today you will enjoy it. It is a must buy & try!
