Borderlands 2 DLC

The Borderlands series is well known for releasing a glut of DLC.  If you're a big fan, you can opt to buy a season pass and gain access to all the additional content.  I didn't feel like purchasing all the DLC and instead waited for a Steam sale and snatched up the packs that I was interested in for a low price.

Game:  Borderlands 2

DLC:  Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep.  (These are the packs I have purchased and played.  There are many others.)

Price:  $9.99 each on Steam.  I bough mine during the summer sale for $2.99 each.

Review:

Of the four story packs that I purchased I would most highly recommend Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep.  The premise behind this pack is that Tiny Tina is a D&D style dungeon master who guides your character through the Borderlands version known as "bunkers & badasses."  The other players are your fellow vault hunters from the original Borderlands.  The setting is a medieval themed world with a few new foes straight from the fantasy world--skeletons, orcs, and dwarves are just a few that you will face.  The gameplay is the same as in the regular game, but there is an addition of chests with the options to roll a many-sided die to determine the quality of loot.  This sort of jokiness is fun and a nice change from slaying the usual assortment of bandits and psychos present on the world of Pandora.  The dialogue between the characters is hilarious and I would recommend it solely on this factor.  Oh and there's a gun that shoots exploding swords--totally awesome.

The other add-on packs were pretty lackluster.  Captain Scarlett adds-in pirate themed foes and many treasure seeking plot lines, but is pretty meh.  Mr. Torgue's Campaign involves lots of blowing things up and many opportunities to earn special tokens to purchase nice guns.  There are some quality Mr. Torgue moments that might make this one worthwhile.  Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is just more searching and killing of wildlife on Pandora (and you fight some unruly Pandora "natives").

If you're going to go for any Borderlands 2 DLC, go for Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep.  It will keep you laughing throughout and does add a good chunk of gameplay.
