The former, as you may have guessed, fire a barrage of lasers that slowly drain enemies’ health. Two new additions to your already well-endowed arsenal are laser and cryogenic weapons. Naturally, your real power comes from one of the bazillion zillion guns that you can pick up throughout your play through. For example, Claptrap does a little punch, whereas Nisha uses her whip, which has a longer range but deals a bit less damage. Additionally, each characters’ melee attack feels more unique than it did in 2 too. Inevitably, more characters will be released as DLC, so I am curious to see where that goes. you have, and grants some sort of boon to the party dependent on that – whether it’s having everyone enter a ‘funzerker’ mode (guns, guns, guns), or mimicking Krieg from Borderlands 2’s rampage skill, or giving the whole party rubber rings to…bounce with. Claptrap’s skill analyses the battlefield, taking into account how much ammo, how much health etc. Athena uses her shield to absorb/dish our damage, Wilhelm summons two drones to aid him, Nisha can enter a Red Dead Redemption-style quick draw mode, and Claptrap….well, his takes a little explaining, and is definitely the most fun. There is quite a variety in classes – each character has their own unique skill command – though Wilhelm and Athena do seem somewhat similar, moreso than the other two, at least. Wilhelm the Enforcer and Nisha the Lawbringer both appear as enemies in Borderlands 2 (in one way or another), and the Fragtrap class is none other than that lovable robot Claptrap. What’s pretty cool is that all of these characters have appeared in some form in previous instalments: Athena, the Gladiator, made her debut in a DLC pack for Borderlands 1 as an NPC. This game has you choose one from four classes: Gladiator, Enforcer, Lawbringer and Fragtrap. So, what’s new? The Pre-Sequel starts off as the two previous Borderlands games did: choosing your character. The bottom line is, The Pre-Sequel does everything right that Borderlands 2 did, but also suffers from the same wrongs. Which isn’t a bad thing, considering Borderlands 2 is a brilliant game, but there just isn’t enough new/updated stuff to really advance the series.
At time of writing, I have only played a couple o’ hours with a couple o’ characters with a couple o’ friends (and m’self), but I think that’s sufficient enough to warrant a ‘first impressions’ review, don’t you think?įirst off, The Pre-Sequel!, whilst good, does just kind of feel like a Borderlands 2 DLC pack. However, I will do my bestest not to include any spoilers for any of the three games in this here review. AKA Borderlands 1.5, this game is set in between Borderlands 1 and 2.
