Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced

UF

Great game. Shame they went into a different direction with BL2.

I went into this expecting a rough-around-the-edges classic from 2009. What you get instead feels like someone's school project that somehow got sold as a full game. Yes, I get it - it’s old. But age doesn’t excuse awful design, and this game is packed with it. Graphics have been fixed up, plastered like makeup, it doesn't look that much worse than BL2. The core gameplay loop is painfully repetitive: go there, pick this up, bring it back. That’s it. The entire game is basically a long chain of crap fetch quests pretending to be content. People say “the side quests are just like the main quests” - that’s not a compliment when both are equally repetitive, shallow and tedious. Scaling is straight-up broken. If you try to stick to main quests, you’ll quickly find yourself underleveled and doing pathetic damage and getting one tapped in return. So what are you forced to do? Grind the same awful side quests just to be able to play comfortably. It’s artificial padding, nothing more. The “story” barely exists. Dialogue basically doesn't exist and is poorly delivered, and the so-called humor feels like it’s written for 12-year-olds who think random = funny, classic for BL but just feels stupid here especially. If this game has a narrative, it does a great job hiding it. Mechanically, it doesn’t help itself either. Movement across the map is a chore, fast travel is clunky, and the game constantly wastes your time by making you backtrack entire zones BY FOOT just to clean up newly unlocked quests. It’s not immersive - it’s exhausting. The "DLCs" somehow manage to feel even worse. They genuinely feel like workshop content that someone just getting into it, made in their lunch break On top of everything, the “Enhanced GOTY” version is anything but. Performance issues, instability, and crashes are still very much present, notoriously. For something that’s supposed to be updated, it’s surprisingly unpolished. There is some weapon variety, but most of it feels useless, so even that highlight falls flat. Overall, this was a huge disappointment. I expected a dated game with charm - instead I got a tedious, poorly designed grind with almost no redeeming qualities. Score: 3.5/10 (and that’s being generous).

yes

the game that started my gaming life back in 2012

absolute banger. I would make my future children play this its so good. had low expectations then met witha masterpiece. Great introduction to the fanchise!!!!!

Greedy Devs removed LAN just incase anyway wanted to pirate the game, even though previous entries required you to be logged into SHIFT to access LAN anyway. Which wouldn't be terrible except this game has some of the worst lag in multiplayer I've ever seen, even when playing with someone in the same room on high speed internet.
