The Borderlands series is known for its winning formula of mixing FPS gameplay with RPG mechanics, and Borderlands 2 just got it all right. That’s probably why it has 12,000 concurrent players a month compared to the Pre-Sequel’s 1,100 players. So what happened? Over time it’s become clear that Borderlands 2 is the king of this series, with perhaps the perfect blend of shooting and looting. We previously had Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel as our pick from this series.
