Two Borderlands games bundled, with a glut of loot and acid humor thrown in. The compulsive looting and snappy gunplay survive surprisingly well in handheld, ideal in four-player co-op. The tech wobbles in spots and the menus are busy, but the loot rush stays intact.

Borderlands Legendary Collection (Nintendo Switch) price, value & rarity
The looter-shooter carnage peaks when armored colossi crash in, studded with colored weak points to hit on the move. From the Destroyer to the Warrior, each encounter blends elemental management, dodging and a hail of bullets, while co-op multiplies the frenzy. Irreverent humor and the loot that rains down on their fall give these fights a jubilant flavor all the series' own.
Better with friends
Three looting romps bundled together to gun down hordes in a party of four, hoover up a deluge of loot and compare finds between firefights. Cooperation slides into unbuttoned chaos, with players dropping in mid-session without ceremony. Level gaps can throw the group off balance if one outpaces the rest, but the orgy of wacky guns and glittering loot keeps the party alive from start to finish.
Is Borderlands Legendary Collection still worth playing in 2026?
Borderlands Legendary Collection gathers three adventures and their expansions on a single cartridge, making it a fine deal for anyone discovering the series on the go. The blend of kinetic shooting, compulsive loot, and absurd humor keeps all its flavor, and the second game remains a high point of writing for its villain. The catch is technical: this Switch version concedes clear visual compromises and uneven smoothness. For fans of looter-shooters and four-player co-op on the move, the appeal still stays solid.
