Borderlands 2

Eurogamer.pt (10 out of 10) (100%)

Não há dúvidas que a Gearbox soube ouvir os fãs na criação desta merecida sequela. Borderlands 2 é gigante, intenso e viciante. É fiel a si próprio e exímio na forma como tira partido dos atributos que o tornam uma obra singular. O aspeto gráfico e o humor requintado, muitas vezes satírico, são já apanágio desta série que se torna um verdadeiro caso de sucesso. Pandora é um mundo que vale a pena ser explorado até ao último pedaço. Jogado sozinho ou com até quatro amigos, Borderlands 2 oferece longas horas de diversão, com uma narrativa intensa e um sistema de evolução e exploração altamente gratificante. Pela altura em que o acabarem só vão pensar em começar de novo.

Somehow Gearbox has managed to create a sequel with the perfect balance of familiarity and novelty, while dodging the mistakes of many sequels that are so familiar they’re boring or so novel they’re destroyed by gimmicks. If you’re expecting something groundbreaking from Borderlands 2, don’t. If you want more Borderlands with some cool new additions and a new environment, you won’t regret paying full price for the sequel. The only possible con of Borderlands 2 is that it’s an enhanced version of the original. As it turns out, that’s exactly what I wanted it to be.

Gamegravy (10 out of 10) (100%)

Borderlands 2 is, by far, the best game released thusfar in 2012 and has set the bar very high for any future excursions into Pandora. An improvement in every sense, Borderlands 2 is the sequel we deserve from every franchise. The games slated to come out during the rest of the holiday gaming season have a long way to go to top this instant classic. Go get Borderlands 2, and get to shooting.

Borderlands 2 is what most people expected. More of the same, but better. More than anything else it's all about reward. Put the time in and you absolutely will be rewarded for it and in so many different ways. With more guns than any other game, endless loot, dozens of hours worth of playtime (potentially going well into the hundreds for truly dedicated players) and one of the best antagonists in recent years, it is an absolute gem and, providing that RPGs are your thing, will keep you entertained for longer than you could ever imagine.

Second opinion
The list of improvements goes on and on. And along with the lengthy story campaign, Gearbox has announced they’ll release 4 add-on DLCs, making the purchase of this game a no-brainer. If you love having fun, especially with friends, do yourself a favor and get Borderlands 2 now. And bring your guns- you’re going to need ‘em.

JeuxActu (19 out of 20) (95%)

Fun, déjanté et jouissif, Borderlands 2, c'est tout simplement Borderlands en deux fois mieux ! Cela peut sembler une évidence, mais en réalité toutes les suites ne peuvent pas en dire autant. Motivés par le succès du premier épisode, mais pas grisés au delà du raisonnable, les texans de Gearbox Software ont su gérer au mieux le développement de leur licence prometteuse. Plus varié, plus drôle, plus agréable et toujours aussi défoulant, Borderlands 2 s'impose comme un incontournable de cette rentrée 2012. Si le jeu n'en gardait pas sous le coude en vue des nombreux contenus téléchargeables déjà prévus, ce serait encore mieux... Mais ne boudons pas notre plaisir, le fun est bel et bien au rendez-vous !

It’s always great to see big titles come to the Mac, and Borderlands 2 is one of the very best. I’m not a very keen FPS player, but I instantly warmed up to Borderlands, and was hooked. I’d definitely recommend this over Call of Duty, as its just so much more fun to play. The mega graphics and crazy gameplay turns the definition of FPS on its head. It’s a masterstroke, and I’m addicted to it. There really is no higher praise than that.

games xtreme (9.4 out of 10) (94%)

Go buy the game now and prepare to loot and shoot your way across a whole new Pandora. There's also a veteran reward for players who have an original Borderlands save game, how about that for loyalty? Gearbox is also a top quality developer and Games Xtreme would like to take a moment to say how touched we are that they put a memorial character to Michael Mamaril into Borderlands 2. Class act!

PlayStation Trophies (91 out of 100) (91%)

Borderlands 2 is a fantastic sequel full to the brim with colour, verve and personality, excelling as an enjoyable shooter with involving RPG elements despite more fetch quests than several dogs will experience in a lifetime. It's all wonderfully well-executed and fun to play, making Borderlands 2 more than worth your loot. Catch a riiiiiide!

Borderlands 2 is a great example of a sequel. It builds upon a successful formula, includes beloved characters, and sprinkles in a few upgrades making the best game in the Borderlands series.

Och just den attityden, som bara kan beskrivas som "väldigt Borderlands", är vad som får mig och mina co-op-vänner att återvända till Pandora, om och om igen. Det är fantastiskt kul och vanebildande att äventyra bland dessa vidder, höra kulorna vina och knyta allt starkare band till min vault hunter, definierad av mina egna val. Gearbox spel kommer att ligga kvar i både mitt spelrum och mitt minne en lång tid framöver.

If you like co-op it’s a no-brainer, buy it now. If you don’t like co-op maybe you should think more carefully. But I’d prefer to encourage you to buy it and learn to love co-op. In Borderlands 2 this should take you all of 5 minutes once you’ve got either 3 chums available or have used the excellent inbuilt matchmaking options to form a full party of 4.

It feels funny to say this about a 13-year-old developer with a portfolio of work that includes Half-Life and Counter-Strike expansions, stellar squad-based WWII shooter franchise Brothers in Arms, and the original Borderlands, but with Borderlands 2, Gearbox has arrived as a real blockbuster studio. Right from the toe-tapping "Short Change Hero" opening cinematic, Borderlands 2 stands out as Gearbox's magnum opus, and one of the most memorable and fun gaming rides I've ever been on.

Jeuxvideo.com (18 out of 20) (90%)

Assez frileux en termes d'innovations, Borderlands 2 n'aura cependant aucun mal à convaincre le public averti auquel il se destine. Bien réalisé, fluide, dynamique et absolument jubilatoire à plusieurs, ce titre irrévérencieux constitue actuellement un défouloir de premier choix dans la catégorie assez formatée des FPS contemporains. Vu son potentiel de rejouabilité et les nombreux DLC qui ne manqueront pas de débarquer dans les prochains mois, on n'est pas prêt de le lâcher.

NSFW Gamer (4.5 out of 5) (90%)

So overall, yeah I approve of this game and urge you to go get it. In a world where Call of Duty and Halo have bogged down the first person shooter, Borderlands 2 offers a nice change of pace to what is out there. So go grab it and I will see you all out there on Pandora.

Softonic ( ) (90%)

Developers Gearbox were keen to make the point that they feel many game sequels are just 'content dumps', additional levels with no substantive changes, so they want to make Borderlands 2 a genuinely new game with real changes, and from what I saw, they are well on the way to achieving that.

Borderlands 2 preserves the best parts of the franchise while also making numerous, much needed improvements to areas like narrative and class skill design. Additional visual customization options would make it better, and the occasional technical issue takes away from the experience, but overall this is an excellent shooter no one even remotely curious should overlook. Prepare to level. Prepare to loot. Prepare to get lost in the hilarious, bizarre and wonderful world of Pandora.

PCActu (9 out of 10) (90%)

Si les innovations sont présentes dans ce deuxième opus, elles sont au final minimes et ne permettent pas de faire évoluer drastiquement le concept du jeu, ni même le graphisme parfois à la juste limite dans les canons actuels... On regrettera aussi l'absence d'un mode arène, à la sortie du jeu, qui permettrait de joyeusement se taper dessus entre joueurs. Le reste des problèmes est minime et pourra sans doute se solder par une bonne MàJ. Il faut reconnaître que le jeu s’appuie sur des bases solides et une ambiance accrocheuse. Tant par son gameplay, que par son univers en monde ouvert et son trente sixième degré, Borderlands 2 est un jeu plus que jouissif et addictif à pratiquer, seul ou à plusieurs... Un must have du FPS moderne !

Cheat Happens (9 out of 10) (90%)

Sequels rarely deliver on the promise of their predecessors, but Borderlands 2 manages to top it in nearly every way. Rather than trying to redefine a working formula, Gearbox has just given fans more -- more guns, more action, more loot -- and that works very well. Borderlands 2 is not only one hell of a shooter -- it's also one of this year's best games period.

Borderlands 2 nu este o revoluție în genul FPS sau față de primul joc din serie. Dar face mai bine şi mai frumos tot ce făcea predecesorul, chiar dacă totul va fi familiar fanilor seriei. Ai o poveste mai bine conturată, inamici mai răi, recompense mai atrăgătoare şi acelaşi simţ al umorului dus cu pluta, fără perdea şi fără limite care să-ţi facă ziua mai senină.

Borderlands 2 is worth playing if you've played the original title or not. In almost every sense it's a superior title to the original - even if I find myself wishing it had done more. Ultimately, it has left me hungry for more - which is probably a testament to how potent a formula this is.

Se non avete mai giocato a Borderlands potreste guardare con sospetto chi era palesemente esaltato dall’uscita del secondo capitolo: il gioco è avvincente, profondo e molto longevo e il suo stile originale spassono lo rendono assolutamente irresistibile. Chi è innamorato di Battlefield o altri FPS più simulativi potrebbe storcere il naso, ma se gli dedicasse qualche ora sono certo che resterebbe affascinato dalla sua epica giocabilità! Compratelo, non ve ne pentirete di certo!

COGConnected / Canadian Online Gamers Network (90 out of 100) (90%)

Borderlands 2 is one heck of a game. The improvements are many, the narrative is well written and told, and the game’s characters are voiced by some great voice actors. Add to this the addictive nature of searching for loot and ability to play the game’s story and sidequests with friends online, and you have all the elements of an excellent game. That being said, the overall experience is affected somewhat by the unexpected technical issues I mentioned earlier in this review. At the end of the day Borderlands 2 is a game that should be played, as the fun factor is high, the addictiveness is through the roof, and the game provides hours of gaming entertainment.

Console Obsession (9 out of 10) (90%)

Though it hasn’t changed enough to convince those that didn’t get on well with it first time around, by refining and improving most of the weaker components, with Borderlands 2 Gearbox has assembled a game that is without question a better game than its predecessor, taking the delightful combination introduced in the original title to heights lofty enough for it to be one of the finest, most amusing and downright enjoyable games of 2012.

Console Monster (90 out of 100) (90%)

For fans of the original Borderlands this will be a must buy, but for those who are still on the fence, it’s time to come down. Borderlands 2 has everything that made Borderlands great while improving on the things that players found dull in the first game – most notably the bland environments. Although we are going to see a lot of games releasing next month, if you still haven’t picked up Borderlands 2, I would highly suggest you go out and grab it right now!

Unsere Erwartungen wurden erfüllt, wenn nicht übertroffen: Borderlands 2 entpuppt sich als Spaß-Shooter allererster Güte. Entwickler Gearbox hat an den richtigen Schrauben gedreht.

PC Games (Germany) (86 out of 100) (86%)

Ich mochte im Vorgänger schon die Mischung aus interessanter Grafik, freier Welt, wilder Action und viel abgedrehtem Humor. In Teil 2 haben die Entwickler dieses Rezept perfektioniert, ohne sich allzu viel mit Innovation abzugeben. Bewährtes wurde noch besser gemacht. Bedeutet: Toller Humor, tolle Action, tolle Spielwelt. Dieser zweite Besuch von Pandora ist definitiv der bessere, verrücktere und lustigere! (Für Teil 3 dann bitte mal was Neues)

Borderlands 2 is groter, actievoller en spannender dan het origineel, hoewel echte vernieuwing een beetje achterblijft. Desalniettemin uitstekend schietvoer voor gamers die eens lekker willen knallen.

If you are up for a good laugh while shooting things in the face, Borderlands 2 is a worthy game to add to your collection. Soon enough, you'll see numbers popping above people's heads in real life and will feel compelled to search every Porta Potty on the street for cash.

Games Finder (8.5 out of 10) (85%)

Everything about Borderlands 2 is simply a joy to experience and is definitely not short on content or features. It’s a must grab for fans or newcomers to the series (although newcomers might want to brush up on the story beforehand).

GameSpot (8.5 out of 10) (85%)

Now if all this sounds familiar, well, you must have played Borderlands before. Borderlands 2 doesn't reach far beyond its predecessor's scope, but it does do almost everything better. Additions, refinements, and fixes all combine to create an appreciably improved experience, one that fully delivers on the promise of the first game. While Borderlands felt empty at times, this sequel is bursting with content and brimming with life, making it an absolutely delightful way to spend hours and hours and hours of your free time.

Dieses lockerleichte Fallenlassen in einen makaber-witzigen Shooter-Comic – ob online oder offline, mit Freunden oder im öffentlichen Spiel – packt Borderlands 2 ganz hervorragend! Pandora ist bunter, lebendiger und es gibt mehr zu entdecken als im Vorgänger. Die Gegner agieren diesmal geschickter, greifen in bunten Gruppen an, so dass bis zu vier Helden clever zusammenarbeiten müssen: Aufeinander abgestimmte Elementarschäden und Stellungsspiel sind ungemein wichtig. Leider kommt das Abenteuer spielerisch und erzählerisch dabei nur langsam in Fahrt und bleibt gelegentlich in einer gleichförmigen Missionstretmühle hängen. Und es nimmt ausgerechnet auf seine Helden keine Rücksicht, wenn ehrgeizige Erfahrungssammler mit lächerlich banalen Bosskämpfen bestraft werden – das darf nicht passieren!

Difficile de bouder son plaisir : la variété de ses quêtes et son humour omniprésent font de Borderlands 2 un très agréable défouloir, surtout en co-op où il dévoile son véritable potentiel. Le jeu reste agréable à parcourir en solo même s'il ne s'agit pas là du meilleur moyen de récupérer le loot le plus épique. On regrettera des classes finalement un peu similaires, aux différences trop peu marquées. Pour le reste, c'est du bon.

Nennen wir meine Beziehung zu Borderlands 2 mal eine leidenschaftliche Hassliebe. Warum muss ich nochmal durch diese Karte laufen, war das Respawnen der Gegner wirklich nötig, wieso darf ich nicht selber speichern? Aber dann mache ich leicht genervt doch weiter, weil die Herausforderung zu sehr reizt - und natürlich auch die Aussicht auf das nächste Super-Item. Balance-Holprigkeiten führen dazu, dass selbst eine „Auf sie mit Gebrüll!“-Klasse wie der Gunzerker enorm von einem guten Scharfschützengewehr profitiert, um die Übermacht aus der Ferne zu lichten. Borderlands 2 motiviert, weil die Ausrüstungsauswahl immer wieder überrascht, ich mir in Nebenmissionen Extra-Levels antrainieren kann und das Shooter-Spielgefühl gut und griffig ist. Bei der bemüht auf krass getrimmten Spielwelt überraschte mich zudem die Qualität der komischen Dialoge.

Si Borderlands premier du nom était déjà à conseiller sans modération, Borderlands 2 propose l'ensemble de la recette gagnante de 2009, sublimée par de nombreux enrichissements : nouveaux personnages, plus de richesse dans les butins, arbres de compétences plus variés, niveau de Brutasse intéressant, ou encore une meilleure intégration des fonctions de coopération. Le titre ne propose pas de grosses modifications dans la série, ce qui pourrait atténuer l'effet de surprise pour les amateurs du précédent opus, mais une chose est claire : si vous êtes fan de coopération et que vous appréciez les jeux à la durée de vie importante, foncez !

People who enjoyed Borderlands and are willing to forgive this sequel its flubs will find not just a new game in Borderlands 2, but something that's going to steal away time reserved for eating, say, or sleep.

Borderlands 2 is a better game in most of the ways that matter, but some of that is brought down by the familiarity of the experience. Perhaps some of that is on me and spending a couple hundred hours with the first game has rendered me resilient to some of the new game's charms, but as someone who went into Borderlands 2 with a sickness that I thought only more Borderlands could cure, I'm left feeling like I didn't receive a full dose this time around.

GamersHell.com (7.5 out of 10) (75%)

Reminiscent of the slightly less favorite cartoon sandwiched between the most popular ones, that's fun to watch because it has some neat touches, Borderlands 2 plays out in a comfortably familiar rhythm. Gearbox have done incredibly well in creating a lengthy game that can appropriately accommodate multiple players no matter someone's setup. Also, crafted with not only one of the most legitimately hilarious scripts (given your taste in humor) but skillfully produced opening cinematics as well, set to The Heavy's brilliant “Short Change Hero” (the original score isn't as impressive), Borderlands 2 shows depth as an entertainment product. That said, it remains a part of a series in need of more things to do than going around guns blazing for XP.

Legendra (7 out of 10) (70%)

En bref, Borderlands 2 est une valeur sûre du fun entre potes. Avec son univers déjanté, ses décors variés et sa finition presque impeccable, il promet de vous accrocher pendant une bonne trentaine d’heures. On peut toutefois lui reprocher quelques ralentissements intempestifs et la trop grande impression de rejouer au précédent opus. Fort heureusement il fait mieux que Borderlands en améliorant à peu près tous les points sur lesquels ce dernier pêchait. En attendant Borderlands 3…

Но, несмотря на правильные шаги к совершенству, от Borderlands 2 устаешь. Она чересчур легка как шутер и недостаточно глубока как action/RPG, при том, что ближайшие конкуренты — Diablo 3 и Torchlight 2 – требуют меньше усилий. Стимул к повторному забегу в ожидании будущих DLC – почти нулевой. Финал уже известен, карты изучены вдоль и поперек, квесты выполнены… Посмотреть спецумение другого героя? На это и часа хватит. Послушать замечательный саундтрек? Проще купить альбом. А дойка «боссов» на уникальные вещи – удел маньяков.

Calm Down Tom (6 out of 10) (60%)

The net result is something akin to someone telling you the same joke repeatedly and expecting you find it as funny as you did the first time. So yes, it’s still a snappy looking shooter with a near infinite number of weapons, but it’ll be more enjoyable if you didn’t play the first game, because those who played the original Borderlands (and all its add-ons) will be sick of Borderlands 2 before it’s finished. It should also be said it’s one of those games that’s much better played with friends, but I see that as code for “Not good enough to play alone”.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun N/A

Ultimately, the point is that this is a masterful game which understands its lot. It's a sort of super-healthy offspring from the original: genetically superior and displaying all the original game's standout traits with flair and confidence. It does do some things wrong. It's basically a known quantity. It's not exactly a rollercoaster all the way through. And you probably won't be all that surprised. Nevermind all that. It's really about the guns. The many, many guns. And sometimes that's enough.
