Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Reviews
Love the game but why are there ads on the home screen man, like people who play this ♥♥♥♥ already know about 4. advertising on a games menu makes me lose all respect for a company/game and thats before you consider all the garbage gearbox does, esp w how bad the games keep getting - advertising filth basically
If you plan on playing co op dont even bother buying this game. The co-op crashes, and loses connection to host so much that the game has become unplayable.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 10: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

顶级 梦开始的地方,每天晚自习下课回家用老旧的笔记本玩 20 分钟就睡觉,游戏内容似乎没体验玩,印象中只做完了主线,只玩了一个角色。但是买新电脑的那年出了 3,这一款就没怎么玩过了。 永远爱玩割草刷宝游戏你知道的。
- Стрельба откровенно, позорище даже для 2003 года, да что уж там игры из 90х Blood, Half-life, порвут в щепки этот Borderlands. Да что уж там, да что уж там она проигрывает играм своего года, тот же Max Payne 3 в сухие клочья разорвёт эту помойку. Или же средний Serious Sam 3, Dead Space 2, или какой-нибудь посредственный The Darkness 2. - Импакта от стрельбы не существует. - Мерзкий холодный сеттинг, ненавижу зиму и всё, что с ней связано, дедушка Мороз, писю мою не морозь. - Стиль графики на любителя. - Нету узЬкого язЫка. Крайне положительные отзывы, 89 балов на метакритик это какой-то абсурд чистой воды. [h3] Итог: [/h3] Не даром её бесплатно раздавали, ибо покупать такое на полном серьёзе — это себя не уважать.
its not as good as the first one. but its pretty good. im enjoying playing this and for the price it can get to in 2026 its worth it for the hundreds of hours you will beable to get out of it
Game is awesome, too bad online is awful and connections just drop.
👍 Recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (9.5/10) Started the game for 30 minutes. Looked at the clock. It was somehow 3 a.m. Got excited over orange loot, immediately replaced it 10 minutes later. Handsome Jack deserves an award for talking trash while carrying the entire story. 9.5/10 – The only game where opening boxes is more exciting than finishing the mission.
[h1]Borderlands 2: The Best in the Series, Jank and All[/h1] [h2]TL;DR[/h2] Borderlands 2 is still my favorite game in the series. Later entries have smoother gunplay, better movement, and plenty of quality-of-life improvements, but none of them put everything together quite as well. The loot chase is addictive, the Vault Hunters offer genuinely different playstyles, Pandora is packed with memorable content, the DLC is excellent, and Handsome Jack remains the best villain the series has produced. It is also undeniably janky. Movement feels old, vehicles are awkward, the UI is dated, and the endgame becomes far more restrictive than the campaign. [b]8/10: Still the best overall Borderlands package for me, even with all the jank.[/b] [hr][/hr] [h2]Combat, Loot & Builds[/h2] Borderlands 2 understands the satisfaction of finding a gun that immediately makes you rethink your loadout. Manufacturers feel distinct, elemental damage encourages matching weapons to enemies, and shields, grenade mods, class mods, and relics add plenty of customization. The Vault Hunters are equally important, with action skills and skill trees that support dramatically different playstyles. [b]The shooting itself has aged more than the systems surrounding it.[/b] Movement is stiff compared with later entries, weapon handling lacks some modern responsiveness, and enemies occasionally behave strangely. Second Wind also has an incredible ability to make the enemy you need suddenly hide behind something. None of it ruins the combat. There is simply a layer of 2012 jank covering an otherwise excellent looter-shooter. [hr][/hr] [h2]Pandora, Quests & Co-op[/h2] Borderlands 2 massively improves Pandora's variety over the first game. Frozen wastelands, deserts, wildlife preserves, settlements, industrial zones, and Hyperion facilities give the world far more personality. Side quests are worth doing because they regularly contain memorable characters, ridiculous situations, unique rewards, or additional world-building, even when the objectives themselves are fairly standard. [b]Co-op is where the Borderlands formula becomes especially difficult to put down.[/b] Different Vault Hunters and builds working together turn already chaotic encounters into complete nonsense in the best way possible, while the entire game remains perfectly enjoyable solo. Traversal is weaker. There is plenty of backtracking, some maps are awkward to navigate, and the vehicles have never felt particularly good to control. [hr][/hr] [h2]Story, Characters & Handsome Jack[/h2] This is the biggest reason Borderlands 2 still stands above the rest of the series for me. [b]Handsome Jack is an incredible villain.[/b] He spends most of the game talking directly to you, mocking your progress while gradually revealing how terrible he actually is. He is funny without being harmless, threatening without becoming generic, and given enough time to become an actual character rather than simply the final boss. The supporting cast is equally memorable, with Claptrap, Tiny Tina, Scooter, Moxxi, the returning Vault Hunters, and countless side characters giving Pandora enormous personality. The humor is definitely a product of its era. Some jokes still work perfectly for me, while others have aged exactly how you would expect. More importantly, the game can become serious when it needs to. Beneath all the stupidity is a surprisingly effective story with characters I genuinely cared about. [hr][/hr] [h2]Endgame & DLC[/h2] There is an absurd amount of Borderlands 2 to play. Multiple Vault Hunters, higher difficulties, legendary farming, raid bosses, challenges, optional areas, and years of DLC can easily produce hundreds of hours. [i]Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep[/i] is the obvious standout, turning Borderlands into a fantasy tabletop adventure while delivering both ridiculous comedy and one of the more emotional stories in the series. The endgame is where my enthusiasm drops. Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode pushes enemy health and regeneration hard enough that slag becomes close to mandatory for many builds, while later scaling restricts some of the experimentation that makes the campaign so enjoyable. [b]I love Borderlands 2's progression far more than I love its highest levels of progression.[/b] [hr][/hr] [h2]Presentation & Final Thoughts[/h2] The cel-shaded art direction has aged extremely well. Technically, the game clearly comes from the Xbox 360 era, but it still looks distinctly Borderlands. The jank is much harder to hide. Menus are clunky, physics occasionally lose their mind, enemies do strange things, and legacy features such as PhysX can still cause unnecessary problems on PC. [b]Borderlands 2 is polished where it matters and held together with duct tape everywhere else.[/b] Later entries play better, but none of them have matched this combination of loot, builds, world design, co-op, DLC, humor, and memorable characters. If you want the smoothest Borderlands experience, play one of the newer games. If you want the entry that best represents why people fell in love with the series, this is it. [b]Borderlands 2 remains the high point of the series, jank and all.[/b] [b]8/10: Highly recommended.[/b]
это моя первая часть борделендса и скажу я всегда думал это угарная кооп игра,но увы на деле это скучнейший шутер без импакта и кайфа от стрельбы..... я хз чем в этой игре в четвером заниматься,если даже одному скучно в это играть и вопрос.....кто ваще из друзей согласиться в это заходить?! а так рисовка прикольная и персонажи иногда норм шутки выдают из своего ротика не культурного. буду в бущем пробовать остальные части,может они норм..
Hundreds and hundreds of hours played on other platforms - worth every penny you could spend on this game even without a sale. Infinitely replayable The best Looter Shooter of all time
