Handsome Jack has been a gift and a curse to the series, as he is one of the most memorable villains in recent history but an exceedingly tough act to follow in the Borderlands universe. Speaking of which, this DLC’s main antagonist is a joke who comes off more like a needy partner than a worthy adversary- and both the final boss fight and raid boss are equally disappointing.
Unlike Zombie Island and its Scooby-Doo humor, or the more recent over-exaggeration of shark suplexing adrenaline junkies in Torgue’s Campaign, Hammerlock‘s Hunt only has the forced dry humor of Hammerlock himself to keep players (barely) engaged in the story. Upon teleporting to the Hunter’s Grotto from the fast travel station it looks as if a depressing filter has been draped over the eyes of players, as you are surrounded by a swampy color palette of dark browns and greens very similar to The Zombie Island of Dr. The new continent of Aegrus is as sickly and troubled as its derivative namesake, but there are some strong points that will make more than completionists and Season Pass holders give the new content a go.Ĭonsidering we Vault Hunters have been demolishing Terramorphous and the rest of his invincible kindred for months now, the premise of a weekend of solely hunting exotic creatures is a flimsy reason to traverse uncharted territory- but I’ll bite.
#Borderlands 2 sir hammerlock big game series
Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage DLC, Hammerlock’s Hunt unfortunately feels like a step back for the series in terms of writing and ambiance.
The third in a series of four planned downloadable content packs for Gearbox Software’s roleplaying shooter Borderlands 2, Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt brings back some familiar faces from the main campaign and introduces a few new ones for hours of fps fodder.
