Borderlands is an undeniably fun game with a killer concept, innovative game mechanics, a gorgeous art style, and kick-ass cooperative gameplay, but it also includes some frustrating design choices that require the player to bend to the limitations of the game.

Amazing combat; millions of possible weapons; fun mashup gameplay

Friends must be same level for multiplayer; no mini-map; no world map; no goal marker in fast travel

Borderlands se déroule sur la planète Pandore qui a longtemps accueilli des colons en quête de richesse et de prospérité. Ces derniers ont malheureusement du se confronter à la réalité, une dure réalité qu'affrontera aussi le joueur.

Le style graphique; Le jeu à plusieurs; La durée de vie; L'aspect RPG

Static environments and a thin narrative can make the world around you seem bland

A Wild West inspired shooter taking place on another planet? Count me in!

Fast paced shooting action; lots of loot to gather; tight controls; fun special moves

Very little set loot; respawning enemies are a pain
