Unique Shooting experience with RPG elements
Borderlands offers an unique RPG experience which combine excellent FPS elements with looting similar to the renowned Diablo series, in additional to the rarely seen Cel-shading presentation.
Borderlands, together with the 4 DLC, offers 30+ hours of solid game play. However, players who like the series would typically spent 100+ hours to finish the playthrough 2 or 2.5, just to search for limitless loots and enjoy fighting super strong enemies and giant monsters together with their friends online.
in short, Borderlands is a unique FPS with RPG elements. It is not story/dialogue-driven as Fallout series, even people with little experience in RPG can enjoy this shooter.
