Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel tells about the events taking place between the first and second parts of the original numbered games in the series. Users will learn about the development of Handsome Jack and what events influenced the change in his worldview, making him an insane and cruel antagonist. The pre-sequel is made according to the canons of the previous series, allowing you to go into a world drawn in a comic book style, where you have to endlessly participate in shootouts with opponents, knocking out valuable generated loot, pumping up your character without restrictions.

The storyline in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel occupies a primary place, allowing you to enjoy an interesting and thoughtful story. The main characters are a squad of mercenaries who engage in various activities, trying to survive on the harsh surface of the moon. You have to wander through open locations filled with a large number of points of interest, which are guarded by various living creatures or aggressive soldiers of the corporation. There are four asymmetrical heroes to choose from, allowing you to use special sets of abilities in battle.

The gameplay mechanics have not changed, but new features have been added. Events are transferred to a planet where there is no air in the atmosphere and weak gravity, which is why you will have to look for oxygen bubbles outside the complexes and use extended jumps to get to hard-to-reach areas on the map. The generation of weapons and equipment items occurs randomly, adapting to the level of the protagonist.
