Gearbox Software’s shooter-RPG series has been so definitive and so infamous for so long in ways that will never truly go away.

Unlike other franchises from the PS3/360 era, Borderlands hasn’t had some kind of critically and commercially catastrophic low point.

In 2012 , Borderlands 2 came out with more: more story, new classes with more ridiculous abilities, more location variety and more guns.

Gearbox isn’t interested in making these games chase current trends like a seasonal post-launch model or battle pass.

Instead, players are incentivized to keep chasing loot and stats that are all right there in the game proper, just waiting to be found.

Across the three mainline games and two shooter spinoffs, it can just be a blast to play with friends and watch bandits and monsters explode.
