The Soldier makes use of an automated turret, the Hunter an aggressive pet bird of prey, the Siren can turn invisible and gains speed and the Berserker gains damage-resistance while essentially in Hulk mode. The Vault Hunters defined the looter shooter’s classes, offering four unique characters with their own special ability. As the player, you can choose to go Pandora alone or team up with three other players variations on the latter are definitely preferred as lone wolves will find the environments, originally designed in 2009, quite sparse, brown and samey. Playing as one of four Vault Hunters, you set off on a quest to claim the prizes for yourselves, fighting off bandits, mega-rich corporations and Pandora’s wildlife along the way. The original Borderlands is set in the barren world of Pandora, where children grow up learning of a fabled vault of extraterrestrial origins filled to the brim with riches and power.

Since we’ve reviewed the former titles - alone and bundled together as The Handsome Collection - before, we’re here to talk about the latter. On the eve of more news on Borderlands 3, 2K and Gearbox have done their damndest to rekindle your interest in the franchise with ultra HD textures for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequeland Borderlands 2 alongside a fancy new release called Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition.

Whether you love Destiny, The Divisionor even Anthem, you really have Borderlands to thank for the good ol’ looter shooter.
