This game is all around a masterpiece! Bazillions of guns, multiple DLC that adds more to the game, and a iconic cast of characters! If GOG does a rerelease, they should include both the original game, and the GOTY Enhanced edition, in one bundle.
This game is huge fun with a unique visual style and truly imaginative alien settings, plus an endless variety of unique weapons and a good sense of humour. With three DLCs you get a lot of hours out of it. It also had a great mod community at the time the content from which hopefully woud fit with a GOG version - I had great fun playing it and sharing the great mods others had made
Borderlands (and its sequel) are near perfect games. Great time capsules of their eras, as well as great gameplay and story. The world is cool and interesting, the music is solid, and the overall package is really just great. This game and its successor have brought me and my friends so much joy and fun that it's impossible to describe. But the bond we shared over this game is something I cherish, even if I don't talk to half those people anymore.
One of my most favourite games in the entire world. When I moved to PC gaming, this was one of the first multiplayer PC games my partner introduced me too on Steam (Steam was much smaller back then and physical console games on discs still existed too). I had played video games before PC and otherwise but this is when I was a young adult and got my first personal PC and got my first personal PC collection. I feel in love with Borderlands 1 & 2 playing them with my partner. They both have their own unique feel to them but obviously Borderlands 1 really strikes a style of it's own. Great with another player. We have both played over 100 hours (each) of just Borderlands 1 alone and have completed multiple playthroughs. Can't get enough of it, still to this day it is one of my go to multiplayer campaign co-op games, right next to Halo CE, 2 & 3 campaign co-op. Absolutely love Borderlands 1. It still plays well today, even more so than some brand new bloated games released modern day. Even the look hasn't aged much because they created their own unique art style for the game instead of relying on the lighting / realistic rendering capabilities of the time like many games do now. We don't want cosmetic realism, we want fun and that's what Borderlands 1 gives us. Would be a darn shame to not preserve this beauty.
This was the only borderlands game where I got back home from school or did squat all on the weekend and beat the game multiple games with different characters and builds. It was something of a treasure to me and an eye opening of what a shlooter game would be like. The sequel Borderlands 2 was good. Absolutely good get me wrong, I even managed to play and laugh like a loon with muh cousins.
The OG borderlands to me felt like it was just the right amount of content to go through. Not too short, not too long. Just right when I played it all by myself. I could play the game for hours by myself and didn't have to think much of it as I kept opening and chest, or shooting up a boss until pretty coloured loot would shoot out all over the place.
This edition of when Borderlands was a sign of greater things to come before Gearbox interactive/2K became what it is today.

Magic Knight RayearthThe balance in the magical world of Cefiro is supported by the prayers of the lovely princess Emerald. When the evil Sage Master imprisoned her, the existence of the entire world was endangered. Using her spiritual powers, the princess contacted three Japanese high-school girls, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu, turned them into Magic Knights, and summoned them to Cefiro, where their goal is to save her and to restore the balance.
This adaptation of the eponymous manga and anime series is an action game with light role-playing elements, somewhat similar in style to Zelda games. The protagonists are all the three girls, but the player can controls only one of them at a time. Each one has advantages and disadvantages, as well as different fighting styles: Hikaru uses swords, Umi a rapier, and Fuu a bow. The player advances through the game by exploring the world, talking to non-playable characters, and fighting enemies in real-time combat. There is no experience system; new abilities (among them swimming and jumping) are gained as dictated by the story, and must be used in certain points in order to advance.Action Fantasy
