Borderlands is still such an incredible game to play, even after all these years. The art style is just something so unique and special. The game holds a sense of humor, while still keeping the bleak and lonely tone along with it. Ambiance is incredible for the tone as well. Characters are memorable and add so much personality to the game. Originally played this game years ago on my own, but now am enjoying it and appreciating it even more with friends. That being said.. Randy Pitchford still sucks.

started this franchise in 2025, super late to the game but i don't regret it.

Very good.

I came to this game after playing Enhanced version, and this was a mistake because character transfers don't work in that direction. As a result, I used a tool called WillowTree to copy my character from the Enhanced version to the vanilla one. I still had to re-earn a lot of achievements, so I spent enough time here to get a proper feel for the game. First of all, the vanilla version lacks both a mini-map and a FOV slider. The latter is very important to me, I just can't stand anything below 90 FOV. I tried changing it in the configuration files but unfortunately it kept resetting to the default value. On the other hand, Borderlands GOTY doesn't suffer from a notorious memory leak unlike its "Enhanced" version. Anyway, it is still an outdated and awful game filled with dull, repetitive quests and endless backtracking. Despite transferring my fully developed character, it still took me 18 hours to complete all the missing achievements, including those from Claptrap's New Robot Revolution and Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot. Yes, that's right, I completed the Underdome arenas twice. I almost went crazy. As I said in my review of the Enhanced version: Don't play it alone. Don't play it at all.

This game walked so Borderlands 2 could sprint while screaming. Borderlands GOTY is rough, loud, and very much from another era, but the core idea still works: shoot everything, grab loot, repeat. The guns are fun, the wasteland is empty in a charming way, and the humor is simpler but still lands. You’ll spend a lot of time driving across the desert, fighting the same enemies, and opening chests that may or may not hate you. It’s not as polished as the later games, but it has personality. If you want to see where the series started and don’t mind some jank, it’s worth playing. If you’re here for nonstop chaos and modern quality-of-life features, you’ll feel the age. Still chasing better loot.

This game was alright for a short spell in 2009, but as time passed it's clear this was terribly overrated by everyone (including yours truly). Borderlands feels less like a first person shooter and more like a mobile game with a lot of voice acting. For some reason the shooting mechanics feel less responsive than Doom and quite clearly the 'RPG' elements are essentially 'time locks' on essential gameplay mechanics. The only real 'influence' this game had was in detaching video-gaming from the player's hand-eye coordination. You'll notice that weapons don't reliably shoot at what you need them to hit, they have all sorts-of silly effects the player can't truly control and the entire focus of the game is on doing fetch quests in barely-designed environments with enemies that barely pose a threat. To be blunt, Borderlands is constructed as a casino game for twenty-somethings. The Internet humour and 'memes' are the height of its creative impulse. There's definitely a demographic of people, mostly from the Xbox Live era of gaming, that bought and enjoyed this title...and kudos to them...but is Borderlands anywhere near the level of Left 4 Dead or Crysis? Absolutely not. Anyone who compares Borderlands to other 'all time great' games is lying out of their ass. As for myself, I don't regret spending time with the game in 2009; I think I was mostly just interested in seeing if a developer could make a 'first-person ARPG' that was somewhat fun. I got what I came for then, but underestimated how much this game's humor and bare-bones gameplay really appealed to people. There's some enjoyment to be had in this game, don't get me wrong. If you want to just chill out with friends and chat while doing boring things with your hands, this is a great title for that. Borderlands can be a digital hangout, if you want it to be that. Though...even as I type that...I'd actually recommend just playing one of the various online-enabled, poker games that are designed with voice chat nowadays. That is to say, in 2026 there are vastly better options of FPS RPG-likes out there (including Cyberpunk 2077). There's no reason to play or buy the first Borderlands game; it was a mild, average experience in 2009 and didn't really deserve five-or-so sequels. The game was so cheap to make that 2K made gangbusters off it or something; it's inexplicable why this series is still around.

This is the premium game for premium gamers randy. You mistakenly called borderlands 4 the premium game.

Borderlands GOTY is a brilliantly chaotic trip to Pandora: weird bandits, ridiculous amounts of guns, and Claptrap testing your sanity on a regular basis. The humor hits, the action pop , and going for 100% completion took me 75 hours. Totally worth it. Loot is love, loot is life!
