Summary: Borderlands: The Handsome Collection does what it says on the tin. It collects the two games, and all their DLC, from the Handsome Jack arc in the franchise and updates their graphics and performance for the new generation of consoles. However, some critics note there are some issues, especially with The Pre-Sequel.

The Handsome Collection wraps up six years-worth of great Borderlands content and puts a nice bow on it.
Some unfortunate technical problems distract from what is otherwise a very generous compilation, and an entirely legitimate alternative to Destiny.
Given that I awarded Borderlands 2 4.5 stars and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel 3.5 stars, the score below shouldn't be a surprise, but both games are worth playing through once more in The Handsome Collection, especially if you have three friends (and the extra controllers) to experience four-player couch co-op.
Providing gamers with two very fun and lengthy games within Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, there is no doubt that this is the ultimate Borderlands experience for everyone.
