A gorgeous underground oasis ironically discovered below a town in which all of the population bar one had died of thirst is a classic example of the wonderfully cruel comedy which made Borderlands 2 so great. I’m generally not fond of caves in videogames as a rule, and the cave levels of the main game were generally less impressive than their more open ended counterparts, so it’s gratifying to see that Gearbox have included the most lovely and beautiful cave section of the game in this DLC. I particularly liked a vast lighthouse on a high promontory above the desert I was often fond of the more vertical environments of the main game, so I was glad to see more here. Some of the most breathtaking geography in Borderlands 2 is to be found in this DLC.
There are a handful of big new hubs, which feel admirably distinct from each other and those in the main game. All of the fun of the vanilla game is there, although there are some elements in this release which fall slightly short of the very high bar set by the main game.ĭespite the pirate theme of this DLC, it doesn’t take place near an ocean, instead staying in the deserts which are the primary setting of the series. The firs t major Borderlands 2 DLC takes a piratical theme, introducing a few large new areas, a fun main story and a good range of side quests.
