What Borderlands 2 is
Borderlands 2 is a role-playing (rpg) game developed by Gearbox Software and released in 2012. It was published by 2K Games. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Android, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 3.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Five years after the events of Borderlands, a valuable mineral called "Eridium" starts flourishing through Pandora's crust. Handsome Jack, the leader of the Hyperion Corporation, secures this new resource and uses it to rule over Pandora with an iron fist. Meanwhile, rumors of an even larger Vault hidden on Pandora spread across the galaxy, drawing a new group of Vault Hunters to the planet in search of it.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, comedy, open world and sandbox. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer, Single player and Split screen. There are 75 achievements to unlock.
Where it sits in the Borderlands series
Borderlands 2 is the eighth of 70 entries we hold in the Borderlands series. The next entry was Borderlands 2: Mechromancer Pack in 2012. Its critic score of 81 is 4 points above the series average of 77. The highest-rated entry is Borderlands 2: Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty at 90.
How it was received
Borderlands 2 holds a critic score of 81 out of 100. That places it above 71% of the 3,811 rated role-playing (rpg) games in our database, which average 73. Games released in 2012 averaged 70, so it scored 11 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 82, across 1,885 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 66.5 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 145.6 hrs, roughly 2.2 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $4.29, that works out to about $0.06 per hour of the main story, or $0.03 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2.4 GHz Dual Core Processor, 2 GB(XP)/ 2 GB(Vista) of RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 8500 /ATI Radeon HD 2600. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 13GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it costs, and where
The cheapest verified price right now is $4.29 at Fanatical, 79% below its usual price.
