If you are diving into the wild world of looter-shooters, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is one title you should definitely check out in this article. As a fan-favorite addition to many players' libraries of PC Games, it perfectly bridges the gap between the first and second main entries of the popular franchise. It keeps the series' signature cel-shaded art style and chaotic gunplay but throws you onto a moon with low gravity, totally flipping the traditional combat dynamics on their head. Whether you are blasting through the campaign solo or grouping up with friends for some co-op chaos, it delivers that sweet rush of hunting down legendary loot while keeping things fresh and incredibly entertaining.
Storyline
The narrative takes place directly between the events of the original game and Borderlands 2, focusing on the origin story of Handsome Jack. You get a front-row seat to watch him transform from a somewhat well-intentioned Hyperion programmer into the iconic, psychotic villain we all love to hate. You step into the shoes of one of four new Vault Hunters—including a heavily armed Claptrap—who are hired by Jack to save his space station from a hostile military takeover. It is a crazy ride filled with the franchise's trademark dark humor, bizarre characters, and wild plot twists as you fight your way across Pandora’s desolate, airless moon, Elpis.
Gaming experience.
What really makes this entry stand out from other PC Games in the series is how the zero-gravity environment completely changes the way you fight. You are constantly double-jumping and floating above enemies, letting you slam down with devastating ground-pound attacks to shatter frozen bad guys into pieces. Because you are on a moon, oxygen is actually a resource here, meaning you have to manage your "Oz kits" while dodging lasers and rockets in mid-air. The addition of awesome cryo and laser weapons to the massive, randomized loot pool makes the gunplay feel insanely chaotic and fun. Every intense shootout feels super rewarding, making you want to just play one more mission to see what crazy gun drops next.
