Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Sword Art Online: Re:Hollow Fragment
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.
Sword Art Online: Re:Hollow Fragment
Sword Art Online: Re:Hollow Fragment was originally released for PlayStation Vita, but now it's on PlayStation as well. The re-released version will include a ton of exciting content, such as new scenarios, improved graphics, more female avatars, a much more in-depth character customization, multiplayer support, the option of opting for first-person or third-person view, and a bumped up maximum level cap. The game also has an whole new storyline that is not present in the original work or the anime, as well as a visceral and dynamic combat system that features flashy animations, thrilling combos and burst attacks. Best yet, this version even includes Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment, which was originally released only in Japan for the PlayStation Portable device.Sword Art Online: Re:Hollow Fragment reworked its predecessor, allowing the game to not only play well on modern PlayStation console, but also giving it a nice upgrade so it'd be more relevant to the players of today. If you love Sword Art Online and own a PlayStation 4, you'll definitely want to buy this game.
