Disclaimer: THIS GAME ROCKS.
Ah, sorry about that. I get a little passionate about one of my most favorite games series ever. Borderlands is a cooperative “shooter-looter” video game that is filled with action, adventure, and, yes, humor. This game is funny when it shouldn’t be which makes it even more so.
The cartridge comes with three Borderlands games: the original Game of the Year Edition, the Pre-Sequel, and Borderlands 2. The original puts the player as one of four trigger-happy mercenaries, each with unique skills, to take on the lawless, desolate planet of Pandora in pursuit of alien technology. See, you’re what they call a “Vault Hunter”; a bounty hunter out searching for riches and reward.
The sequel, Borderlands 2, introduces six new characters to play and also one of the greatest villains of all time: Handsome Jack. You really want to hate this guy but for whatever reason, you’re going to (kind of) like him. More regions to explore and crazy bandits to mow down await you here.
Finally, the Pre-Sequel is the story of how Handsome Jack came to be and why he is the way he is. Plus, a lot of the action is out in space with little to no gravity. All three of these games allow for solo or cooperative play with split-screen action. Mayhem and laughs await the player who inserts this cartridge into the Nintendo Switch. And for just $25 during Cyber Monday, this is a steal.
