With Overwatch doing so well, it seems that other nineties throwback first person shooters are being knocked down in price. saw Doom for £29.99 in Game, but put down the readies when I saw this for twenty squids in HMV. Battleborn is made by the same people that made Borderlands, and has various PVP modes, some where you fight each other and others where you team up against other squads and their hordes of enemies.
I know that some people are waiting for this to come down even more, but figured this deal might be useful for some people who don't want to wait, or order online from The Game Collection. It does come with the pre order bonus of done gold skins and two trading cards. Big Woop.
Bought in Southend but I assume it's nationwide. Didn't check for Xbone price but it's probably the same.

Not really. It's more like a first person Smite. very enjoyable, just totally overshadowed by Overwatch.

Yeah ok mate just 12 maps and 21 characters with free dlc for life.
Battleborn hasn't sold well not because of overwatch but because gearbox is a hack developer run by a fraudster and the game is sub par in every way.

It does lack game modes atm, but they are being added soon with two new characters apparently.
Even so its more than enough content atm, same with rainbow six siege, limited game modes and maps but was still very entertaining and did not become stale.
Quality over quantity.

I own rainbow six and yes the content there is the same very weak but on the other hand it's a much more fun game to play more entertaining.

As a break from being the only player who seems to choose healing character Lucio on Overwatch, I got this so I could pay some old school split screen sitting with my partner. It was one of the hardest games I had ever played, even on normal level. It was only when I tried it myself later that I realized I had set up a private room for two, and it's designed for five player squads.
When I started playing with randoms I ended up as the healer, Miko, as no one else wanted to. You can't have a five a side football team with five strikers! That said, playing co operatively through the story mode was great fun, but this is not a game for single players.

Except Borderlands is one of the best gaming series ever created so they are certainly not a bad dev!

At this rate it will become free faster than Knack.
