About Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition

About this game

Developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games.

In Borderlands 2, you'll get to play as one of the four characters in a hectic, chaotic, yet hilarious first-person looter shooter! Go up against all sorts of psychos in this massive new world, including the evil mastermind, Handsome Jack. Make new friends, equip bazillion of weapons, and fight alongside up to three others in co-op!

New, New, New!

There are four new playable classes in this entry to the beloved Borderlands franchise: the Siren, the Commando, the Gunzerker, and the Assassin! Each of them has a speciality, adding tons of replayability to the game!

Dynamic Co-op!

Jump in and out of the campaign with your friends easily and at any time in this dynamic co-op mode! Whether you play online or through LAN, you'll be able to take all the gear you earned with you!

Fight Hyperion Corporation

Go on a quest for revenge through the frozen tundra of Pandora! Expose the hidden evil within the Hyperion Corporation, and take on its nefarious CEO — Handsome Jack! 

Even More New Stuff!

It's not just the arsenal of new guns and the new gun system you should be excited for — shields, grenades, relics, class mods, and much more cool loot is waiting for you in Borderlands 2!

Lively World

As you travel through Pandora, you'll cross all sorts of settings and terrains — from the frozen tundra to the dangerous grasslands and the corrosive caverns! This adventure will take you to all sorts of fun places.

Borderlands 2

The game is amazing for more reasons than one. Linux is my daily driver, and thanks to Valve, Steam installs the linux version on linux, and windows on windows. I prefer the linux version because I use Manjaro for over a year now, and because I find that the colors in the linux version are more natural. The only downside to the linux version is, that Shift is not available. Apart from that, although the game is a shooter, it's story driven, and the story is mad, fun and cool.

Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition Review

Sam Jones
Staff Review
Borderlands 2 is as expansive as it is hilarious, and fun to play. It successfully mixes comedy with gunplay, and the beautiful cel-shaded graphics give an ironically childish feel to it. Jam-packed with all of the Game of the Year DLC, now's the perfect time to jump in.
