Alright, so here’s the thing about Borderlands 2—it just kinda grabs you, you know? It’s like they took the first game, tinkered with it, maybe over a few too many late nights (I’ve been there), and boom, you’ve got something that’s just… better. Like, they meshed Diablo 4’s gear-chasing madness with guns and chaos—Destiny 2 kinda copied the homework but made its own thing. Anyway, Borderlands 2, it’s been a bit of a ride since 2012. Why am I even talking about this? Oh right, because it’s totally free on Steam right now. But snag it fast, or you’re outta luck.
Now, rewind to 2012 (seems forever ago, right?), Borderlands 2 hits the scene and just—wham!—changes the FPS game. New characters that are somehow weirder and cooler, a mountain of guns that, quite honestly, would make a hoarder proud, and a story that doesn’t just meander off into nothingness. It’s got some pace! Humor? It’s kinda hit-or-miss. But gunplay and exploring? Chef’s kiss. Best in the series, hands down.
Now here’s the twist (every good story has one, yeah?): Steam’s running this Borderlands sale thing. I mean, Borderlands 3 is almost cheaper than a cup of coffee (95% off!), but Borderlands 2 is the real steal because, well, it’s free. But, there’s a snag—gotta pick it up soon. Like, yesterday soon.
Hey, if Borderlands isn’t doing it for you, that’s cool, there are lists out there of RPGs and co-op games that might tickle your fancy. Oh, and don’t miss out on following some gaming news or joining a Discord server to geek out with fellow players and maybe rant about this little article right here.
Catch it quick, before Sunday, June 8 rolls around. That’s the deadline. And remind me again why Sunday deadlines feel both too soon and unnervingly far away?
