The side missions, in general, are pretty dull and not very fun with a few exceptions. There's also a few too many industrial areas that suffer the same problem of feeling repetitive, really only the space station Helios feels visually distinct, although even this may get boring eventually since the station is so big that you'll spend ALOT of time here.Īnd note that I said only the MAIN story of the game is an improvement over BL2. The surface of Elpis isn't nearly as interesting or varied as that of Pandora, and often the only discernible difference between one level and the next are the specific piles of junk in each. The real problem, though, is that much of the exploirable world feels and looks the pretty much the same. This itself actually works well in some areas, but overall can be frustrating. Even though Oz kits allow for more mobility, the lack of oxygen in most maps cause things to feel much more restrictive, placing greater importance on where you position yourself during combat. As mentioned before, it's a darker plot since the player characters are arguably evil characters this time around, rather than the chaotic good/chaotic neutral PC's of past games, which is a fun change that makes you reevaluate just how you fit into this world as someone who's specialty is murder.Īs for the negative stuff, my biggest issue with the game is the level design. True, there are fewer characters involved overall, but this streamlines things so that the plot in more concise. It feels more focused and more coherent with alot of interesting character development for Jack's character. The main story of TPS is in my opinion better than that of BL2. And the new batch of Vault Hunters are more varied, with more interesting skill tress (which aren't necessarily better than those of BL2, but can be alot of fun to play with). Cryo element replaces Slag, which you could make an argument for being a negative point, but I like it fine.
Oz kits (or O2 kits) are a new gameplay element that allow for greater mobility around the world and even have an impact on combat in the from of slam attacks. Let's start with the positive stuff: Gameplay has been improved in a number of ways, most notable changes include an additional weapon class in the form of laser weapons which are very fun to use. Pre-sequel overall has a different feel than Borderlands 2 for a number of reasons (music/visual design is very different, story-line is arguably darker, certain elements of gameplay which I'll get into later, etc.) but it holds up overall such that if you enjoyed BL2, you should also enjoy TPS.
