The Handsome Collection consists of both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, along with all of their accompanying downloadable content, enhanced local multiplayer, and the ability to transfer save data from their respective PlayStation 3 (Both Borderlands 2 & Pre-Sequel)/ Vita/ PSVR and Xbox 360 versions. Overall: Borderlands: The Handsome Collection was still just as fun to play on the current gen consoles as it was on the last, I was just really disappointed that it is essentially just a flat out port and didn't really do anything new (I don't count the local 4 player co-op as I see that as a new feature, not new content.Action role-playing, first-person shooterīorderlands: The Handsome Collection (later released as Borderlands Legendary Collection in 2020 for the Nintendo Switch) is a compilation of first-person shooter video games developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. However, due to the lack of innovation and the sub par BL2 port I do feel I need to penalize the Handsome collection's overall score.
Individually, each game retains the same scores they got on the last gen, not to mention I am glad these games got a PS4 release as that will keep the franchise relevant to those whose first console is a PS4 or X-1, that and it gave me a solid reason to play through these games again. Basically the PS4 version of BL2 is a slightly inferior port of its PS3/XB360 counterparts in terms of visuals. In fact, the "cut scenes" look a little worse, as if the port to the PS4 wasn't agreeing with them. BL2 however does not look better at all, at least not in anyway noticeable. BL:TPS does look a bit nicer on the PS4 than it did on the PS3, but not by much. The next issue I wish to address are the visuals. Why play split screen (squinting at your corner of the screen and trying not to get distracted by what's happening in the other corners) when you can just join games online and enjoy the entirety of your screen. Sure the local 4 player co-op is a nice addition but mostly needless at this point. There is no new content, like next gen exclusive content which is surprising as that would have made the collection more enticing to those still on the fence.
With that said, if you played these games on the last gen systems, then the next gen versions are almost exactly the same. Two excellent games plus ALL the DLC make it the best collection ever in terms of sheer content, even at full retail price.
If you have never played BL2 and BL:TPS then this collection is a mandatory purchase. Heck, I bought BL2 on the 360, PS3 and again with the Handsome collection just so I could play it again on the PS4.
