Each of the game’s four protagonists has a different one, with different capabilities that can be unleashed at a squeeze of the trigger.

It’s the upgrade paths that make Borderlands so addictive. You also earn badass ranks from a range of challenges, winning tokens to be redeemed against a drip-feed of skill bonuses, enhancing weapon damage, shields, reload times, melee attacks and more. Experience means you level up, gain skill points, and can spend them on a branching set of class-specific perks and skills. When the enemies die, you gain experience and the chance to hoover up their loot. You’re given missions, you shoot enemies.

Graphically speaking, it seems identical to Borderlands 2, and the gameplay is no great departure either. It’s set on Pandora’s moon, Elpis, features a new cast of vault hunters – though ones familiar from previous games and DLC – and focuses on the back story of the previous Borderlands’ villain, Handsome Jack.

More than a few Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will probably be grateful for that fact. It’s also one of a dwindling number of games that are leading on the last-gen consoles, rather than being ported downwards. For the rest of us, who simply love the Borderlands mix of FPS mayhem, sweet loot, Diablo-style upgrading and humorous dialogue, The Pre-Sequel is an opportunity to get a little more of it, albeit with a handful of twists. Developed by 2K Australia rather than Gearbox itself, it’s more of a hyper-extended DLC pack than a sequel as such, filling in some of the blanks between Borderlands 1 and 2, for those few who have even the slightest interest in the over-arching plot. Is more of the same always a bad thing? In the case of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, maybe not. Available on Xbox 360, PS3 (reviewed), PC
