Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
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, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.86/day in the week to Jul 30 → 1/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

While Borderlands 2 has the best story, The Presequel has the best mechanics. The addition of oxygen as something draining away, fire not working in a vacuum, low gravity, and ground slams. Those add just enough to the game as to make everything more indepth without being complicated.
This game feels like a clearly improved version of the first game. The dialogue is better, the characters talk more, the level design is miles ahead, and there are a bunch of new mechanics that make the whole thing feel less dry. The loot also feels better compared to the first game, and the bosses are generally more enjoyable too. But — and it is a pretty big but — the mission design still can’t really escape the same problem. It’s still mostly “go kill this many enemies” or “go grab this thing and bring it back,” which was already my biggest issue with the first Borderlands. The better dialogue and stronger atmosphere make it less painful here, but the core problem is still sitting there. The grind also feels heavier this time, and until I unlocked some actually useful skills, the combat could get genuinely rough. So yeah, it improves a lot of things from the first game, but it still carries enough of the same boring mission structure to hold it back. 6/10 - A little bit above average.

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 11: 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.

The moon stage is painfully boring, and it’s still the beginning of the game. I keep coming back once every year thinking I’ll finally finish it but I just can’t. The moon map feels empty, slow, and way too big for how little is actually happening. Even after writing this review, I still have zero motivation to continue lmao.
The low-gravity movement and oxygen mechanic mix things up, and the guns are still solid. Story’s a bit uneven and it feels more like “more Borderlands 2,” but it’s still a good time with friends.
You know, it's fun, but doesn't captivate me like Borderlands 1 and 2 did. I should really give it another try, but this is a game that I find myself putting down and not picking back up in a cycle.
decent borderlands game, expands on handsome jack's story and how he became in power. solid 8/10
Borderlands but in space ^.^ 10/10
certainly my favorite game out of the borderlands franchise, all the vault hunters are fun to play, lasers were a neat addition, the movement is amazing. It's just a shame that 2K Australia got shut down before any more DLCs could come out, a LOT of missed potential in my opinion.
As far as Borderlands games go this one is pretty lame. The guns are as good as ever but that's hampered by low gravity movement that makes the entire game sluggish as well as a need to maintain O2 levels. It's also not as funny or interesting as other games in the series. I can't recommend it except for die-hard Borderlands fans who love the aesthetic. Replaying 2 is a better and cheaper option and of course 3 is great, too. Maybe 4, I haven't played it but it has to be better than this.
