You are a Vault Hunter, why would running out of oxygen do anything more than slowly cause your health to drop? Thankfully oxygen is fairly abundant in the forms of drops or locations with air supplies, meaning it never becomes a resource that makes you stress about managing it in the same way as, say, Dead Space does. The added verticality changes the format and scale of platforming puzzles and the way you look for enemies or a safe spot to recharge shields. Butt-slams are no joke, and will save your life more than a few times. Having Elpis as an Australian fit perfectly with the tone and humour, and the introduction of low gravity environments and the quest for oxygen adds a lot to the gameplay. Thankfully the side quests, for the most part, do their best to have worthwhile rewards and bits of story worth experiencing, or have the whacky humour that made Borderlands stick out in the first place. It adds a lot of depth to the character of Jack, whose superb character was already the glue that held Borderlands 2 together. It is something that we know has to happen, but the path there is at times grey and slow, with the pacing of some story elements feeling a bit drawn out to make space for side quest hubs. During this quest you realise that you are the main reason for some of the most annoying enemies in Borderlands 2 existing, which brings a twinge of revulsion as you witness its grisly birth.Īfter this, Jack’s attempts to save Pandora slowly take a backseat as he starts to revel in murder, his hunger for power revealing a dark edge that inexorably takes over. One section midway through the game breaks away from the standard fetch quest side-quest hub and takes you through a compelling scene where Jack’s slow, almost hidden transformation appears above the surface, rearing a callous, though apologetic man who will sacrifice one to save many. Hell, he was a likeable, though egotistical man with a vision of being a hero. This opens up moments for commentary, and reminders of Jack’s crazy and evil plots. The narrative of the game occurs after the events in Borderlands 2, where one of the new vault hunters must tell a tale before execution. From the tragicomedy that is Claptrap to the unhinged, abrasive and apathetic Wilhelm, having voiced characters that take part in conversations make for richer dialogues, with purpose and thoughts or doubts regarding the current situation in the game.
Are you up for the task?īorderlands: The Pre-Sequel tells the story you didn’t think you wanted to know, while adding a few memorable moments on the way. You see, there are all these horrible scavengers and monsters that need a firm bullet to the head, in exchange for some EXP and some shiny new gear. Good day, Bruce! Good thing you could come visit mate, we have a bit of an issue here on Elpis.
