Borderlands is an action role-playing, first-person shooter video game series created by Gearbox Software. This series is primarily comprised of three action role-playing, first-person shooter games: Borderlands, Borderlands 2, and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. The games in this series centers primarily around gaining loot in the form of weapons and gear in order to better murder bandits, bosses, and alien life forms on the fictitious planet of Pandora. These games are very gory and contain very crude and dark humor that likes to poke at a lot of sensitive topics such as race and sexuality.
