Borderlands has always existed within its own special place in the first-person shooter genre, a quirky and bizarre space western world that has its own brand of unique characters to meet. Its fantastic blend of role-playing and shooter elements have been able to set the series apart from an average shooter, and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel was able to bring everything about the series together in one phenomenal package. Taking place between the first game and the excellent Borderlands 2, The Pre-Sequel explores the early days of Handsome Jack and what lead to his assuming power of the Hyperion Corporation. It's an extravagant tale that is a just an appetiser to the glorious fun that can be had in-game, an explosive display of violence that will reel you in and never let go. It all escalates brilliantly, taking you on a weird journey that is quintessential Borderlands - fans just wouldn't have it any other way.
