Do you like Borderlands?
Do you enjoy good gameplay, even if it's accompanied by relatively lackluster writing?
Do you have a promo code to get it for less than the suggested retail price, or is it on a decent sale?

If the answer to all these questions is yes, then this may be the purchase for you. Otherwise, maybe give this one a pass. The gunplay is great, the writing is bad.

Am I having fun playing this? Yeah.
Would I pay full price for it? No.

So, recommended? Yeah, if it's on sale.
