5 best games like Borderlands for PC

Developed by Gearbox Software, Borderlands gave the looter shooter genre its identity and established itself as the best in the genre. Released back in 2009, Borderlands got a sequel in 2012, which introduced many iconic characters to the franchise, as well as a prequel title called Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

After much fan demand, a third game in the Borderlands series was released seven years later in 2019, and a spinoff title called Tiny Tina’s Wonderland set for early 2022. While fans wait in anticipation, let’s take a look at some of the titles they might like to try out instead of replaying Borderlands.
