When you break things down, Borderlands 2 VR is basically the same base game that many have probably torn through by now, with seven years having passed since its original release, which means that, despite my moaning and groaning about the omission of the DLC, there’s still a shedload of content to work through here, with sidequests and the main offering around forty hours of content for those willing to really explore the world. It’s not like PSVR isn’t capable of providing online multiplayer experiences, so, again, I’m not entirely sure what the reasoning behind it is. Here, however, 2K and Gearbox make the curious decision to completely excise any multiplayer component, leaving me with essentially the same issues that I had with my initial playthrough, except this time I was within the game itself lamenting the grind for gear. The lack of any DLC content, multiplayer component or AIM support were all strikes against the game from the get go, at least in my book, especially the inability to team up with other adventurers during the campaign.Īs someone who fell off of Borderlands 2 fairly quickly during my first playthrough, when re-evaluating the online consensus for the game it seems that those who revere the game the most do so precisely because the game allowed for frenetic, four player fun, and indeed some of my major gripes with the game come down to certain areas and enemy encounters clearly being designed for multiple players, making a lot of boss battles and the like tedious slogs as the bullet sponge enemies take a lot more to bring down solo than they would as part of a well-coordinated team. However, as is often the case with PSVR titles, playing with the old white headset strapped to your face offers a level of immersive interactivity that can elevate even the most mundane sounding of concepts into a truly special experience, so I had high hopes nonetheless for my return Pandora and its world of grizzled and goofy Vault Hunters. I dabbled with both the first and second game and, despite the robust humour being right up my alley, I found them to be lacking in the gameplay department, most likely due to my lack of interest in the “Shoot-and-Loot” genre… That’s probably why, across the entire series, the only game I truly enjoyed was Telltale’s brilliant take on the universe with Tales from the Borderlands. Out of the initial trilogy released last generation, I only really played The Pre-Sequel to any great extent, and that was primarily due to having to review it. If we’re being honest, I’ve never really been able to get into the Borderlands series.
