Pre-Sequel, though - which, confusing title aside, is just a prequel - charts Jack’s fall from grace.īoth games are worth checking out if you haven’t already. In Borderlands 2, Jack is a villain and constant voice in your ear. Both star the titular Hyperion President. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection includes Gearbox’s Borderlands 2 and the 2K Australia-developed spin-off, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. How you feel about Handsome Jack will likely determine how you feel about this week’s Epic giveaway. That either makes him sympathetic or just a smarmy prick with a hidden tragic backstory.

Your copy of Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is available here at no cost if you have an EGS account, and 2FA is no longer required prior to claiming the bundle (but you should still set it up on your EGS account). Essentially: don't sleep on this offer just because you're worried that your PC might not be up to the task.

In fact, Borderlands 2 in particular was an excellent PC port, with a multitude of settings and platform-specific features that included NVIDIA PhysX (itself a relative rarity at the time). Neither Borderlands 2 nor the Pre-Sequel were particularly taxing on contemporary hardware. The Handsome Collection bundles in five major chunks of DLC which add two new character classes and expands the character level cap for added re-playability. The storyline is even darker than Borderlands 2, and the gameplay only departs a little by adding low-gravity sections and oxygen dependency, so the core of the franchise remains essentially unchanged.
The game adds context to the wider Borderlands universe, as well as delving deeper into the past of the man who was so feared in the sequel. Four playable characters, including series mascot Claptrap, fight alongside Jack as they play witnesses to his fall from grace.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel was released in 2014 but is set prior to the events of Borderlands 2.
