Show moreĭespite tweaks such as low-gravity movement and a healthy dose of comedy courtesy of ClapTrap, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! is less a full-formed entry in the popular sci-fi series and more - as its name suggests - an extended filler episode designed to patch up a few narrative holes while giving series fans more of what they enjoy.

Players can opt to work through the campaign alone or join with up to three additional players online in team-based cooperative play. The action is set on a low-gravity moon, introducing a new dimension of movement to the series by allowing players to leap much higher, control their direction in midair, and easily bypass smaller environmental obstacles. Players begin by choosing one of four characters, each representative of a specific class with distinct special abilities - ranging from a shield that absorbs attacks and turns into a weapon to a bizarre computer program (executed by the franchise's always witty robot ClapTrap) that has unpredictable effects when executed (such as spawning a disco ball or bouncy rubber-ducky suits). Set between the first and second Borderlands games, BORDERLANDS: THE PRE-SEQUEL! - the first game in the popular sci-fi shooter/RPG series not developed by franchise creators Gearbox Software - reveals the origin of Handsome Jack, the primary antagonist of Borderlands 2 turns out he's actually a pretty decent guy at the start of this game. Overall, this game is acceptable to not some age group, but to a kid you trust to make the right choices, a kid who is mature, a kid who can handle a bit of action, and a kid who is ready to have a BLAST with this amazing Pre-Sequel. Trust your kids, maybe watch them play a bit. As long as your kid has played games like Halo, Call of Duty, Destiny, they will be fine. Overall, you can turn off the gore, you can turn off the volume (thereby turning off explicit content.).

This also fixes the EXTREME overuse of profanity. Most if not all sexual content is in the vocals. Sexual content wont be an issue along with another easy fix, turn off the volume. By far one of the best choices they have made. However, Borderlands was smart enough to put in a feature to turn off gore. Borderlands is known for its brutal combat.

Borderlands is a series of games, that aren't really for kids, however, don't cross this off that birthday or christmas list yet, there a lot more to say. Listen up, cause my job is to make yours easier. Your kiddo wants a Mature rated game and you don't want to let them down.
