It’s a tale as old as time that kicks off Moxxi’s grand heist: Head of a galactic corporation murders his way to the top, unlocks ancient alien knowledge and goes completely jerkass with power as he builds an inescapable gambling prison that is home to high-rollers and the walking debt who’ll do anything to escape. You son of a bitch, you bet I’m in for this one! So how does Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot stack up then? Not too badly at all, as this brief trip back to Borderlands 3 offers sharper writing and a surprisingly tender nip of a dangling thread which dates all the way back to the days of the Elpis moon raid. Ain’t nothing wrong with that! Sticking to its legacy, Gearbox sold the game with a promise of good things to come long after the end credits had rolled, with a brand new selection of adventures to tackle in the form of downloadable content.īorderlands originale featured such content, Borderlands 2 raised the bar for DLC with its final offering in the form of a Dungeons ‘n Dragons romp through Tiny Tina’s emotions and even the maligned Borderlands Pre-Sequel tugged at the heartstrings with the surprisingly magnificent Claptastic Voyage. In many ways, Borderlands 3 was essentially the same game that had kicked off in 2009 but given a healthy injection of quality of life improvements to further streamline the experience. Borderlands 3 may not have set the world on fire with its story when it popped out of orbit last year, but there’s no denying that Gearbox’s crunchy loot ‘n shooter still had plenty of attitude pumping through every cylinder of its core engine as players got a chance to flex their muscles across a quartet of deadly new vault hunters.
