If you’re a fan of the series then this entry is definitely worth your time for at least one playthrough.īecause the setting is on the Pandora moon of Elpis, you now have to manage your oxygen level most of the time, utilising an oxygen tank meter and oxygen bubbles scattered around the moon.
With the typical bombastic side missions, characters and dialogue (with an Australian twist this time around), and most importantly, great shooting. That doesn’t stop the game being just as fun as you’d expect. This is probably one of the smallest Borderlands experiences with a similar scope and size to the first game. Claptrap is the standout for the vault hunters, not only because of his unfortunately undeniable humour, but because he doesn’t require oxygen whatsoever throughout the game. Fulfilling the standard Borderlands formula of lootin’ and shootin’, you’ll be directly causing the rise of Handsome Jack, and witness him become the terror you fight in Borderlands 2. Playing as Wilhelm (of Borderlands 2 fame), Athena (ditto), Nisha, and Claptrap, you journey from the Hyperion station to the Pandora moon, assisting Handsome Jack along the way, to help him topple his oppressive bosses.
