Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Fractured Space
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is supposed to be the Borderlands game that occurs in between Borderlands 1 and 2 as it details Handsome Jack's rise to power and wealth. The game features a pretty similar frantic gameplay to Borderlands 2 with a few major changes - Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is set in space and on a planet with low gravity and limited oxygen supply. These factors do bump up the difficult of the game by a notch and it is incredibly fun to enjoy the virtually-designed low gravity effect in first person.Like Borderlands 2, this game brings along with it a brand new cast of anti-heroes, each with their own set of special abilities. Interestingly, you get to play the annoyingly amusing (or is it "amusingly annoying"?) little robot - Claptrap - in this pre-sequel too! Of course, being space, you'll get a new line of vehicles to wreak havoc in.
If you're here for the story, then you'll won't find Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel disappointing, but when it comes to its gameplay, it does feel a bit lackluster at times. All in all though, the game bridges the story perfectly and is pretty much a must-buy for fans of the series, but if you're new to the series, it might be best to start with either Borderlands 1 or 2.
Fractured Space
Fractured Space is a sci-fi-themed MMO game from Edge Case Games that provides the breathtaking visuals of any game set in space and also an impressive space combat mechanism that may bring to mind the vast battlefields of strategic (as opposed to Rambo-styled) action MMOs like the ones from Wargaming, specifically, World of Warplanes and maybe World of Warships. The game features a ton of starship variety in addition to letting you customize your ships whichever way you like, including handpicking your own starship crew and putting in custom decals.With a team-oriented gameplay, Fractured Space allows you to live out your dreams of incredible space battles, albeit virtually, in a game that focuses more on strategy than more in action. So, take command of your own starship today and enjoy epic dogfights in space!
