Borderlands: The Handsome Collection - Playstation 4

Borderlands 2 ReviewEdition: Handsome Collection.Reviewed on: PS4Borderlands 2 is a first-person shooter RPG (role-playing game) that takes place in the sci-fi world of Pandora where you’re hired to find a mysterious “Vault” left behind by an advanced alien species known as Eridians. This Vault is said to contain immense treasures and your adventures along the way will have you meeting a large variety of funny characters, difficult enemies, crazy creatures, and amazing boss fights. This game has a very detailed and deep leveling system that allows for your characters to harness super fun and helpful abilities to help you blast away at any enemies that happens to get in your way. This leveling system is different and unique for all of the six playable characters.The environments and areas to explore in this game are very different and unique ranging from rolling sand dunes of the desert, to snowy glaciers, to futuristic cities. This game also has a loot system that features randomly generated weapons and gear which means that all loot will be different from the last, this loot generating can generate tons of different items, so many in fact that the developers aren't sure how much. The previous Borderlands game had around 1,750,000 different weapon combinations and the developers say that Borderlands 2 has way more! This game runs very smoothly and I never experienced any lag or framerate drops while playing. The game also features online co-op with up to four players and up to four player split screen which made for some of the best couch co-op gaming I’ve ever had. Borderlands 2 has a very goofy sense of humor throughout the game which always keeps things entertaining. This game will keep its players playing because of its well developed plot, goofy sense of humor, excellent combat mechanics, and its extremely addictive loot system. Even though all of these things make the game very fun to play, no game is without its problems. This game will constantly have you go through areas that are fun, but then have you make the boring trek back through them, this means that a lot of time will be spent on just traveling back from places. Also, a lot of side missions will have you do the same kind of tasks which can be a little repetitive, but if you are paying attention to the dialogue, the story behind these missions really helps in making them seem less tedious. This game also makes it so that in order to level your character to the highest levels you need to replay the game in a different, tougher mode where you get to keep everything you had previously earned. This mode is entertaining due to it introducing many new enemies and loot, but can definitely be repetitive replaying all of the missions again. The final mode is extremely difficult which causes players to think things through much more and utilize the necessary abilities to succeed. Overall, Borderlands 2 is a fantastic game that offers hundreds of hours of fun to anyone who enjoys first person shooters and RPGs. It has a great plot, memorable characters, an addictive loot system, and fun missions and boss fights. I’d give it a 9.5/10.

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is probably the best collection out in the PS4 and Xbox One.....unless that you don't want to buy games that you already play on the old gen BUT if you haven't play Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel! then here two simple word BUY IT, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is a remastered version of Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel! plus all DLC in both games giving you a total of 100 hours of gameplay and 12 playable character in total (6 in 2 and 6 in TPS!).Story:You probably know the story but in case here a fast run, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! you join forces with Handsome Jack oh wait i mean Jack (Also this mean your one of the Bad Guys), you will be fighting on Elpis (Pandora moon) and in the Helios space station Aka Borderlands own Death Star but shape of a H, As you progress you will see how Jack will rises to powers but don't take this as a grey and too serious story instead the game is full of Dark Humor and Insane Cast that gonna give you hours of hours of laughter (Double if you decide to play as Claptrap). Borderlands 2 take place after TPS! were Handsome Jack (The guy you help in TPS!) Has takeover Pandora and trying to bring order BUT theres still hope as the new Vault Hunter you must join the Crimson Raider a group of resistance member that trying to stop Jack plans, As you progress you will meet more insane character and face epic boss fight while keeping in mind your one and most important task KILL JACK!.Gameplay:The Gameplay is far smoother giving you that perfect fast pace shooting with touches of RPG elements were you level up, upgrade your character and get better gear so you can kill even bigger stuff but beware enemies will come in powerful ways so always be ready to have that perfect gear. There also vehicles moment in big open areas full of enemies with vehicles attack and creature to road kill also they work to get at your objective in a much faster way. Each Vault Hunter has a Action Skill were you get a unique ability only for that character to do massive damage for example Zer0 can turn invisible and send a hologram that will distract your enemies while you wait to strike one behind the more you wait the better damage you do, this can also expand in doing other stuff when level upCo op:4 players can join and experience the story from beginning to end, doing this will make the enemies more tougher but you will be getting better loot, you can play Online or split screen up to 4 player with your friends. Note playing as Claptrap in TPS! in Co op can result in many fun ways since this will effect all 4 players also if all players are different Vault Hunters in either games you can use your abilities to help and strategy.Soundtrack:You may not hear it good due to all the gun shooting and explosion but the soundtrack is a mix of western cowboy and dubstep you know the one the wub wub wub wub style overall the soundtrack is nice and knows when it has to be this calm nature way and when to bring that heavy epicness when fight begins.Okay now to go for a little negative and while the latest patch fix many thing in making this a better package i feel sad that they couldn't included the original Borderlands along the way but hey that doesn't mean all is lost we still get two awesome games plus all DLC in one package plus the price of 50 SOLD................No really you should buy it, the review is over..........go home if your reading this in someone house, ummmm bye ?.
