Or in a more list-friendly format, all of this: You’ve got Borderlands and its original quartet of expansions, Borderlands 2 follows the same path and features its extra downloadable vault hunters while the Pre-Sequel shifts the action to the moon of Elpis and all of its mad spae-Ozzies, continuing the story of that game with one of the best downloadable expansions of all time in the form of the Claptastic Voyage. Bundled within these three games is a massive amount of post-launch content as well, bringing the package in as an Eridium overdose on the Switch. I’ve been everywhere man, from Xbox to PlayStation Vita and beyond with Borderlands always been a constant presence across multiple platforms for more than a decade.Īnd now, that trusty companion has popped up on the Nintendo Switch.ĢK Games has pretty much thrown everything and the space-kitchen sink at the Switch with the Borderlands Legendary Collection, a compilation of the original game, its spectacular sequel and heavily underrated pre-sequel.
I was there on day one when it launched on the Xbox 360, I had a spare copy on PlayStation 3 for reasons and I was well invested in its DLC in an age where even a moderate 10GB download was something that I’d leave as an overnight job for my ADSL connection.įast forward a few years, and I’ve survived Handsome Jack’s train ambush more times than I can remember, scoured the surface of Elpis for rare loot and I’ve rediscovered my hatred for Skags on the rocky roads of Pandora. I’ve often joked that I’ve played Final Fantasy VIII on too many platforms, but now that I’m looking back at my personal library I’ve started to realise something: Square’s magnificent RPG has nothing on the hundreds of hours of thrown at Borderlands over the years.
