![]() But more Handsome Jack is always a good thing, as far as I’m concerned, and getting to explore the man behind the mask made for an interesting “fall from grace” story that wasn’t afraid to get dark in charting the character’s transformation into the villain we know and love today. The only mainline title to not be developed by Gearbox directly, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel feels like a somewhat inconsequential “filler” entry in the series, released primarily as a way to tide fans over until Borderlands 3. The game’s impressive graphics do a pretty good job of replicating Borderlands’ iconic visuals for the small screen, while there’s almost just as much loot to be found as that of the mainline title (albeit in a more simplified format), but, nevertheless, Legends is still the weakest entry in the series so far, even if that’s essentially by default. Sadly, the RTS format isn’t a great fit for Borderlands, as the series’ sense of speed and chaos is lost via the genre’s more strategic paradigms. Controlled from a top down perspective, you’ll look after all four of the original Vault Hunters at once in Legends, taking on missions from a Bounty Board to fight bandits and outlaws in Borderlands’ best impression of X-COM. This mobile tie-in to the original Borderlands game isn’t… terrible, but it’s far from the kind of experience you’d normally expect to see from the series proper. ![]() You’ve probably never even heard of Borderlands Legends, but those who managed to avoid it should count themselves lucky.
