On the other hand, The Pre-Sequel's framerate is solid, but it's accompanied by persistent screen tearing, like someone forgot to tick the V-Sync option before shipping the game. When the framrerate dips, it's not unplayable, but it's definitely noticeable. I'm not entirely sure what causes it, but each time I loaded up Borderlands 2, there was a chance that the framerate would either run buttery smooth or become inexplicably choppy. Both games were handled by different studios (Iron Galaxy for Borderlands 2 and Armature for The Pre-Sequel), and both have their own unique wrinkles that mar an otherwise excellent port-job. Speaking of 'pop' (best segue ever), these next-gen updates still feature the Unreal Engine's signature 'no-textures-no-textures-suddenly-all-the-textures' pop-in, as well as a few additional issues that wiggled their way into the ports. Few games look as striking as Borderlands' comic book-inspired visuals, and thanks to the enhanced resolution and bloom lighting, the environments pop more than ever.

No, it's certainly not the ideal way to experience Borderlands, but if you and some chums want to deface Pandora while playing in the same room, it totally works.īut even with story being as manic as it is, there's no denying that Pandora and its moon are gorgeous places to explore (and blow up), and the Handsome Collection's 1080p/(mostly)60 frames-per-second upgrade certainly highlights its cel-shaded beauty. Thanks to the bump in resolution, it's still relatively easy to make out inventory screens and text while you play despite the smaller real estate. It works surprisingly well, locking the framerate at 30 fps and giving each player their own quadrant to work with. The only feature coming exclusively to the Handsome Collection is a four-player local splitscreen mode, increased from the two-player limit of previous games. Though, if you weren't sold the first time around, nothing here will change your mind. Still, the allure of finding a rifle which lets you chuck it like a grenade every time you reload is worth dealing with a few issues, and moving through the varied environments of Pandora and its moon Elpis while causing all of the local wildlife to go extinct is too good to pass up. And sometimes the amount of loot thrown at you can be a bit too overwhelming, as you constantly stop and compare stats for every single gun lying on the ground. The emphasis on co-op can make soloing a slog, accompanied by numerous deaths and restarts. If that sounds great to you, you'll find a lot to like here, but it's certainly not without issues. It's a satisfying mix of twitch shooter action and compulsive RPG-style stat management and skill building, with an emphasis on co-op play, inventive weaponry, and internet meme-based humor.
