This game is very similar to the first titles from the series, almost feels like a dlc or expansion but long enough to be a standalone chapter in the franchise.

If you played Borderlands and Borderlands 2 you should play this too because as title suggests this is a missing link and it's mandatory to understand the origins of our heroes and villains.

I enjoyed the space theme and low gravity jumps and new mechanics,there is a new rooster of playable characters with the robot being the most fun and memorable.

I have to mention some of the main quests from the story which made me lose my temper , i understand they had to deliver a certain amount of playtime but not like this.. I'm talking about Pickle and his stupid quest, oh and it's secondary mission is even worse somehow. The huge levels and the walking simulator feeling gets in your head after some time,at least there are enemies to shoot everywhere..

This is not the best Borderlands but it can deliver a lot of answers for the series so don't skip it!

When i think of Borderlands the first things that comes in my mind are the distinctive look and cartoonish art style, the funny robot and the looter shooter genre which you either love or hate..

The remastered version of the original Borderlands offers visual and gameplay improvements but the best quality of life enhancement is the addition of mini map. But in general it's not so different of the original Borderlands.

The sense of humor is present in witty one liners but also sarcasm and absurd situations, the quirky narrative and the setting of Pandora is great. If you like comic books you'll love this.

The randomization of loot and the co-op multiplayer encourage multiple playthroughs, the different classes and their skill trees made experiment with different strategies and playstyles and i absolutely love this in video games.

I really liked the boss battles with their funny designs and unique mechanics..i recommend to stay away from any form of cheating playing this. The game is difficult but if you complete side missions and find the right strategies and weapons the experience is far more rewarding.

Borderlands was never about the story or the single player experience, but it doesn't disappoint either..The vault hunter theme made me dream of that moment of opening the vault ,if you like treasure hunting you know what i'm talking about..

Also if you finished this game you know why i'm mad and disappointed of the ending.
The missing links are found in dlcs or other titles from the series and if you're a cave dweller like me and never played those with a big grim on my face i say it's time to play them all.

If you like this game i also recommend playing the Mad Max game as an alternative or watch the movies.


Pros:
-Improvements
-Fun with friends
-Great dlcs
-Cartoon Art style

Cons:

-Grindy and difficult if you're under level treshhold so either do all the side content or play co-op with friends
