Borderlands Legendary Collection

Borderlands Legendary Collection is a compilation of three parts of the best-selling looter shooter series (combining FPS and RPG elements). The set released by 2K Games includes not only Borderlands, Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, but also a number of add-ons to each of them.

Plot

Borderlands takes us on a journey to the desert planet of Pandora, where a mythical crypt is located, hiding countless riches. It's being followed by Vault Hunters. It is in them that we take on the role in the game. The action of the second part of the series was set shortly after the events presented in the first one, and it tells the story of a group of other characters who have to stop the sinister Handsome Jack from appropriating Pandora. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, on the other hand, is played out between the events from the first and second part of the series. The players hit the moon of the planet and, following Handsome Jack's commands, observe his slow transformation from a sober-minded man to a ruthless tyrant.

Mechanics

In the games that create the Borderlands Legendary Collection, the action is observed from a first person perspective (FPP). In each of them, the game begins with choosing one of several characters representing different specializations and possessing unique abilities. While travelling through vast open locations (on foot or at the helm of the vehicles), we are engaged in a variety of tasks (apart from missions pushing the plot forward, there are a lot of side quests waiting to be performed here), as well as fighting against hordes of enemies. During dynamic battles we make use of an impressive arsenal of firearms and combat skills. As we progress, we gain experience and advance to the next levels, and we also develop the combat potential of heroes by finding more and more powerful equipment.

Game modes

The games that create the Borderlands Legendary Collection can be played alone or in multiplayer mode. We can play in the company of another player on a split screen, while on the Internet we can work with up to three people.

Technical aspects

While working on the Borderlands Legendary Collection, the authors did not make any major changes to the graphics of the games. As the first part of the series appears here in the Game of the Year Edition, there are some improvements to the original, with a minimap, an improved equipment screen and an automated process of lifting first aid kits and ammunition.

Other information

In the case of the first part of the series, it is referred to: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx and Claptrap's New Robot Revolution. Borderlands 2 was extended with add-ons: Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, Mechromancer Pack, Psycho Pack.
