At this point in time, is there anyone left who hasn’t playedย Borderlandsย yet? The honest answer must be no, but if for some reason you haven’t, the first three games are now available on the Nintendo Switch.
Theย Borderlands Legendary Collection includesย Borderlands: Game of the year edition, Borderlands 2, andย Borderlands: The pre-sequel. Each game is pretty great in its own right, although the pre-sequel does fall behind the other two in terms of quality.
At the cost of $49.99, there is plenty of bang for your buck, even if you may be able to get the games cheaper on other consoles. With a download size of 12 gigs, it also won’t take up as much room as you may have thought, assuming you aren’t just using the built-in Switch memory.
The allure of playingย Borderlandsย on the go is quite strong for me, even though I already ownย Borderlands 2ย on more consoles than there are guns in the actual game.
For those of you that somehow don’t know,ย Borderlandsย is a first-person looter-shooter, and it’s also a lot of fun. Packed full of humor, the games are best played with friends, and thankfully, the Switch version still lets you do so.
Each game can be played solo, if you choose, but can also be played as a two-player split-screen or with a four-person team online. If you’ve never played before, I can promise you’ll have a lot of fun. And if you don’t, I guess that’s $50 you’ve just wasted and will never get back.
Theย Legendary Collectionย will also come with the previous DLC’s for each game, although theย Borderlands 2: Commander Lilithย andย Fight for Sanctuaryย add ons are unfortunately not included.
Whether the games are worth rebuying just to play in handheld or on a separate console is entirely up to you; however, if you’re on the fence, the Game of the yearย andย The Handsome Collectionย can be purchased separately.
Let us know if you plan to buy these or if you already have them. The temptation is there for me to have another adventure in the Borderlands,ย although I still haven’t bought part 3 yet.
