The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Frantic first-person shooter with a darkly comic tone, rewarding constant action and loot collection.

What players say

Players are split on the original Borderlands. Some feel the shooting is dated and the quest design is tedious, while others praise the co-op, loot loop, and the fact it runs well on older systems. Many prefer this Game of the Year version over the Enhanced Edition for its UI.
