The Pre-Sequel is a carbon copy of Borderlands 2 that isn’t able to establish an identity of its own. No, the chief problem is that 2K Australia never shows its work. And it’s definitely not the loot itself, which still explodes forth out of enemy corpses in a pleasing shower of colorful sparkles. It’s not the new setting either, an airless, low-gravity moonscape that creates a new, wonderfully vertical emphasis on your loot-shooting. It’s not the story, a fan-serving lore dive that charts the descent of Borderlands 2 antagonist Handsome Jack into villainy.
