Borderlands 2 (2012)

Best: Um, everything? I’ve said it before, and I stand by it: Borderlands 2 is easily one of the best sequels in all of gaming. It maintained everything that made the first game such a standout hit, except cranked up to “87 bazillion.” It brought back the original four heroes from the first game, this time as NPCs with fleshed-out stories. The villain, Handsome Jack, was an all-timer, menacing and amusing in equal measure. Also, the game’s environments actually featured more than one color.
Worst: Okay, fiiine, the Caustic Caverns kinda sucked. I still have nightmares. Not worth venturing there at all, not even for the Minecraft skin
