Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!
About the Game
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! is the third main game in the first-person shooter series. Just like the previous titles it offers different environments with procedural content and free exploration. By completing quests, experience is earned to distribute skill points and build a character with through skill trees with elements of role-playing games. Loot and especially many different types of guns play an important role to complement the character path.
Story & Setting
Most of the game takes place first on Pandora's moon Elpis and later on Helios.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The gameplay is largely identical to the previous games. New elements are low gravity affecting jump height and causing bodies and loot to float away when fighting on the moon surface. The kits can also be used for movement and combat, using them as a jet pack, to hover, double jump, and to come down with a ground slam. The latter are used to slow down enemies or to freeze them, after which they can be smashed with a melee attack. A combination of three weapons of similar rarity can be deposited there to receive a better, rare weapon.
Standout Features
- O2 kits are used for air supply and they can be replenished through vents, generators and tanks dropped by enemies.
- Two new item types have been added next to the existing ones.
- Some weapons from the second game, such as the Slag weapons, do not yet exist in this game.
- There are new vehicles such as a Stingray hoverbike and a moon buggy.
- Just like the previous games it can be played in single-player or cooperatively, both offline and online.
- After completing the game the True Vault Hunter mode becomes available, just like the second game, encouraging a new playthrough to obtain the higher level content.
