Borderlands Legendary Collection

Borderlands Legendary Collection gives you three full looter shooters in one package, each built around a simple but endlessly satisfying loop: shoot enemies, watch numbers fly, grab better guns, refine your skill tree, repeat. The real magic is how this formula scales across dozens of hours per game without losing steam. You'll constantly chase incremental upgrades—testing whether a corrosive SMG outperforms your shock shotgun, respeccing skill points to try a new build, and hunting legendary drops that completely reshape how your class plays. Each game offers multiple playable classes with distinct skill trees and action skills, so you're not just picking a cosmetic difference. A Siren who can phase-lock enemies plays fundamentally differently from a Gunzerker dual-wielding weapons, and co-op groups benefit when these abilities complement each other. The RPG layer is robust: you're managing elemental damage types, shield capacities, grenade mods, class mods, and relic slots, all while leveling up and assigning skill points. It's accessible enough that you can ignore optimization and still progress, but deep enough to reward players who enjoy theorycrafting loadouts. Sessions are flexible. You can knock out a couple side quests in twenty minutes or commit to a story chapter and boss grind that stretches past an hour. The structure is mission-based with a steady drip of objectives, so there's always a clear next step, but you're free to ignore the main path and chase rare spawns or challenge arenas. Difficulty scales with your level, and each game offers harder modes after you finish the campaign, rewarding better loot and tougher modifiers for veteran players. The learning curve is gentle. Early missions ease you into gunplay and ability use, and aim assist on console keeps firefights manageable even on Joy-Cons. Menus are dense—lots of stats, lots of loot comparisons—but the core act of shooting and looting clicks immediately. What keeps you engaged long-term is the loot treadmill and build experimentation. You'll chase specific legendary drops, test synergies between gear and skills, and push into harder difficulty tiers to see how far your build can go. On Switch, expect serviceable performance rather than silky-smooth play. Frame drops happen, especially in split-screen, and there's no cross-play, so your multiplayer pool is limited to other Switch owners. But if you prioritize content volume and don't mind compromises, you're getting three massive games with all DLC for one price—a package that can easily last hundreds of hours, especially in co-op.
