For those who want to start in the series, it's worth it!82 out of 100.

WARNING DO NOT BUY !!! LEGIT THE WORST GAMEThis is the literal worst port ive ever played in my entire life. SOOO many features areWARNING DO NOT BUY !!! LEGIT THE WORST GAMEThis is the literal worst port ive ever played in my entire life. SOOO many features are missing from the original. Not to mention, IT CRASHES ALL THE TIME AND EVERY TIME IT CRASHES THE SAVE DATA WILL BE CORRUPTED AND YOULL LOOSE ALL YOUR WORK.It crash on the final wave of the hard moxxie dome and when i opened the game back up it was completely gone all those hours waisted for nothing.The only good thing this literal waste of space did, inhumane abomination not even Satan would approve of game is it showed everyone who worked on it and should be mocked, shamed, and ridiculed for even being apart of its development.

I loved this game. Plays best with a Pro Controller and a screen attached. It took me a little while to get started, but once I got into it II loved this game. Plays best with a Pro Controller and a screen attached. It took me a little while to get started, but once I got into it I was hooked and couldn't put it down until the credits rolled at the end. Having completed it as Mordecai I plan to revisit the game and try some of the other playable characters, but I will probably move onto Borderlands 2 first.The game runs smooth with a unique cell-shaded look. The Switch's motion controls lend themselves well here and for the most part the game feels responsive. The available weapons and RPG-style levelling make for great gameplay. Sound design was flawless. The various enemies the game throws at the player made my flesh crawl, and so blowing their heads off was incredibly satisfying. The game felt challenging, but not impossible, throughout. And while the story was minimal it still drew me in.I highly recommend this and will definitely be playing the various sequels.

Very nice remaster with many additions from Borderlands 2 and a nice 4K 60fps on Series X. A must play in co-op mode for me, it'd be too flatVery nice remaster with many additions from Borderlands 2 and a nice 4K 60fps on Series X. A must play in co-op mode for me, it'd be too flat of a game in solo. The story of the main game is quite expeditive and it lacks a bit of dialog, nice way to discover the series debuts though.

I have completed two playthroughs as Mordecai and all of the downloadable content. I just haven't been able to defeat Crawmerax the Invincible. I loved the game so much I have purchased Borderlands 2, I just haven't found the time to play it yet. I would recommend this game to everyone, young and old alike, and definitely play the DLC if you can, it really expands on the original game and adds great diversity and extra chances to level up quickly. I have only played as Mordecai the Hunter as I love using the sniper rifles, and his pistol play is really fun too. And Mordecai's pet Bloodwing is a real killer when you upgrade. I like the way you can play-through twice, and after maxing out your experience and levelling up it can be fun just treasure hunting for the best gear. TOP GAME, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.
