Borderlands Legendary Collection (Nintendo Switch)

At first I thought it was a bit of a shame that only BL1 comes on the disk and you have to order the other two online but with hindsight I can see that’s a brilliant idea. I often carry my Switch around with me from different rooms to different places nationally. Having all the games digitally installed makes them so much more user friendly. I’ve got games that I bought physically and still never opened them. Great set of games, I’m already a fan of the BL series and it’s been great playing them on the Switch. Smooth gameplay, decent loading times and nice colours.

Much like the port of BioShock The Collection, Borderlands The Legendary Collection is yet another pretty much perfect port of 3 classic games to the Nintendo Switch.The games are all great fun to play in both handheld and docked modes, they still look good even though they are older games now, sound is excellent and there is loads to get stuck in to with 3 full games and most of the DLC included also.Again, be aware that the cartridge version only has the original Borderlands game on it and there is a download code for the other 2 games inside the case to redeem on the Nintendo store. I always prefer to have a physical cartridge version regardless of still needing downloads and I already own a 128gb micro SD card so this was all fine for me, it's also £5 cheaper on Amazon than just buying it all digitally off the Nintendo store anyway.Great stuff, another easy 5 stars.

There's only one cartridge in the box, the other two games are downloadable via codes. But they don't provide any codes.This is the response when I raised this:With the game being pre-owned it looks like the codes have already been used unfortunately. The only way to get the codes would be to buy a new/sealed copy of the game or you may be able to purchase the games on the Nintendo Store on the Switch.Absolute nonsense to provide 1/3 of the games you purchase.

Fantastic value for money as this collection is 3 full games with all of the relevant expansion packs. There is easily over 100hrs of gameplay here.This game is best played in cooperative multiplayer where you and up to 3 buddies can work together to complete the various missions and quests and advance the story.Gameplay is fast and furious and action packed. The game has a unique almost comic book like hand drawn art style thats really fun and differentThere is a real sense of humour in a lot of the dialogue and characters which is absent from lots of other games out there that take themselves too seriouslyI'm having a lot of fun with it and it comes highly recommended

Great games, looks and plays fantastic on Switch. Be careful who you buy from, purchsed the cartridge version. Got the download code version.Returned for refund.

The first game comes on the card and the others are downloaded using codes with the game.But you need a memory card as the download is 42gb and if you buy it used the card will likely not have the codes. So buy new.I am giving 5 stars as the game was good and the seller allowed me to return it with not questions after I made the mistake I just mentioned.Very pleased.

I’ve played through the first game and am just mopping up the claptrap dlc. The game runs smoothly all of the time although there are sometimes bad frame drops when a lot of loot and enemies are on-screen in “Hyperion Dump” which they are going to have to fix in a later update. However this was the only time I noticed significant frame drops throughout the entirety of the first game. Playing in handheld is bearable but I find it often difficult to see enemies in the distance due to the small screen. This means often relying on the aim assist feature to aim bot enemies when struggling to see them on-screen. The experience is definitely better when docked as you can see more of what’s going on. That being said, I’ve spent 99% of my time playing in handheld so I’ve obviously not found it too difficult to play with the small screen. Regarding controls, a CONTROLLER is a MUST as using the joycons in a shooting game is absolutely useless and hopeless. Unless you want to do a shotgun only run I would advise getting a controller; the experience is drastically improved tenfold. I am disappointed that 2K have only put Borderlands 1 on the cartridge in an attempt to cut costs on the cartridges, which means that you have to digitally download the other two games. With the expectation that consumers have access to the internet. This trend though began with Activision and I am expecting that this won’t go away any time soon. The total download requires between 40 to 50gb depending if you install both games. Therefore a suitably sized SD card is also required. I went for the 128gb option but perhaps in the future I will need to delete some games for space. I would recommend a SD with more space to be future proof just on the safe side. Overall, playing the games on the switch feels enjoyable and it’s nice to have Borderlands available on the platform. Highly recommended.

Loved that it had the complete borderlands 1 on it with dlcs included I'm yet to complete it, but the legendary collection gets only four stars cause it don't include borderlands pre sequel and borderlands 2 on cartridge . Even though the case says includes. The other 2 games comes as a download code which it states in very small written on the box. I would of paid more if they either included them on the same cartridge maybe a bigger one or if it came as separate cartridges. But glad the first one is on there it's my favourite. But a bit of a let down not putting the other two in physical cartridge form. Hope in the future they re release it with all three.Update I found out that borderlands 1 isn't complete, yes the base game is there but the dlcs that say are included are intact download. The rest presequel and borderlands 2 are download as described.
