Derivative, but also colorful, absurd and fun. If you played one Borderlands game, you played them all. [Dec 2014, p.56]

2K delivered exactly what it promised: a derivative game which nevertheless deserves to be completed in single-player for the story. And then maybe one more play through with a friend or two, just to shoot stuff and kid around, before setting Pre-Sequel aside until DLCs come. Just as it always is with Borderlands. [Dec 2014, p.64]

There isn’t a AAA game out there that doesn’t exist to make money, but Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel stumps for dollars in a brazenly insipid way. It’s a paint-by-numbers effort, almost from top to bottom.

The gameplay is amazing, worth every penny, I think it's one of the best in the franchise.

bene ma non benissimo, un gioco che mostra il fianco a molti aspetti che hanno reso grande il 2 capitolo senza innovare o cambiare qualcosa riclicando molto che lo rende un titolo debole. 7.3/10

Another great installment in the Borderlands franchise, the Pre Sequel takes things to the next level with a fantastic story, great characters and new innovative gameplay, which will make you jump for joy...Quite literally.

The appeal lies in the game’s simplicity as much as it lies in its alluring wackiness, crazy characters and superb atmosphere.

A pre-sequel for those who are predisposed to Borderlands and can't wait for a full sequel.

While it probably should’ve been DLC, it’s still more Borderlands fun for anyone starving for more Vault hunting action.

The Pre-Sequel is missing just a bit of soul, but it has plenty of heart – hearts exploded by laser rifles.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is an unpolished, uninspired adventure where fun can be had with friends, but that time could be better spent elsewhere.

Even in 2025 there are some bugs in the game, not critical but still making it worse((

I played this with my friends and we had some fun but I would NEVER play this solo. I had no attachment to any character, space is a horrible place. Very dissapointing

The game is unbelievable boring. Well honestly every BL game and every loot shooter is boring, but pre-sequel is definitly worst one. Slow motion, low gravity, oxigen leaking, pointless characters what screaming "Hey gamer loot at me, i'm big talking sht". Devs just put every annoying thing in this game and said "It's funny game!". Hell no.
SummaryLearn the story behind Borderlands 2’s villain, Handsome Jack, and his ascendance to power in this new game in the Borderlands series. Taking place between the original Borderlands and Borderlands 2, the Pre-Sequel gives you a bunch of new gameplay featuring the genre fusion of shooter and RPG gameplay.
