It’s definitely something that should have been pushed harder. Regardless, this is an entertaining way to tell a Borderlands story, even though, most of the quips from Lilith and others vanish a couple of hours in. The narration can be a bit strange if the player doesn’t have Athena in their party because she will be the one that’s talking in the background and appear in cutscenes from time to time, saying things that may be out of context to what’s going.
While the core story takes place before the events of Borderlands 2, centered on Handsome Jack’s fall to tyranny on Pandora’s moon Elpis, the narration itself is primarily set on the floating city of Sanctuary as Lilith is interrogating Athena. The other three characters are not bad selections, but Claptrap is the only one that offers a new type of experience than we’ve become accustomed to. It certainly helps that he has by far the best dialogue between the four characters, interacting with everyone in less of a serious manner. Sometimes he’ll receive dual wielding weapons, a mini-Claptrap that will attack enemies, or he could turn into a rubber ducky. The little robot buddy even has a special skill that will assess the situation and establish a power from another Vault Hunter that’s best suited for the job. This introduces bonuses and reductions to weapons and health at random, causing a little bit of chaos, yet fun into the mix.
Players can go down the route of having a Claptrap that receives boosts from helping others or being aggressive in combat, but the tree that stands out the most is the Fragmented Fragtrap. Claptrap on the other hand has his own unique traits, mainly revolving randomness. Each character does have three skill trees to spread their points across, but Athena is treated as the melee tank class, Nisha is the enemy clearer and Wilhelm is the distraction. Having used all four characters for an extended amount of time, Claptrap is by far the best and most unique selection. Like every Borderlands game in the past, there are four playable characters to choose from: the badass gladiator Athena, the hardened gunslinger Nisha, the robotics expert Wilhelm, and ever so comical Claptrap. Introducing new Vault Hunters and a low gravity environment, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is shooting for the stars.
BORDERLANDS THE PRE SEQUEL FINAL BOSS SOFTWARE
While Gearbox Software has had a shaky track record as of late, the Texas-based developer has joined hands with 2K Australia to develop a prequel to the second game, hopefully giving more insight into Handsome Jack’s motives and actions. The world of Pandora was massive, and while the stories lacked depth, it still contained some of the most comical dialogue and characters around. It mashed RPG elements into an overly enjoyable first person shooter, while boasting an astonishing amount of loot to dig through. One of the biggest and best IPs to come out of the last generation was Borderlands.
