The value story

The value story

49 discounts in the 7 years on record, a median of 60 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $12.49 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 94 percent. Fallout 4 VR ($59.99, scores 6) outscores it, and so does The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution ($9.99, scores 13). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Borderlands 2 VR

40 of the 600 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 17 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 40 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 38 percent of the 505 reviews written there were positive, against 52 percent overall, and those are 48 percent of everything written about it.

30 hours to finish it, 98 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.3 times the campaign.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Cost per hour$0.42/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set. That is today's sale price. Normally $1.67/hr
Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 53% after the small-sample adjustment
Refunds40 of 600 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Despite the mixed rating, I tried B2VR, and I was pleasantly surprised. The graphics are top notch, the gunfights are very satisfying, and I enjoying revisiting the story. It is obvious that the developers spent some time getting the VR working, and the few workarounds they implemented, by in large, work. Overall, it is worth the price of admission, especially when on sale.

Borderlands 2 VR is a virtual reality adaptation of one of the most celebrated looter-shooters of its generation, developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K. Rather than simply recreating the original experience, the game places players directly into the chaotic world of Pandora, transforming the familiar adventure into a far more personal and immersive journey. The core premise remains unchanged: players...

The aiming feels off, which kinda sucks because it's a shooter. I'll just try the vr mod, seems to work better.
