Borderlands: The Handsome Collection vs Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection vs Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2: which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers, the choice between Borderlands: The Handsome Collection and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 hinges on genre preference and platform availability. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is a proven, highly rated (4.0/5) action-adventure bundle including two full games (Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel) with four-player co-op, already released in 2015, and available on all major platforms including Nintendo Switch—ideal for players who want immediate, polished content with high replay value. In contrast, Bloodlines 2 is a newer single-player action RPG releasing in 2025, with a slightly lower community rating (3.8/5) but an astonishing average playtime of 329 hours, suggesting deep narrative and exploration. However, its minimum system requirements are entirely unlisted (TBC), making it a risky purchase for budget PCs or laptops common in the Philippines. Additionally, Bloodlines 2 lacks a Nintendo Switch version and is not available on the Xbox or PlayStation stores as of now (only GOG, Epic Games Store, Steam). Without price data, cost cannot be compared directly, but the Handsome Collection is older and likely cheaper in sales. Verdict: Buy Borderlands: The Handsome Collection if you want immediate, co-op fun on any platform, including Switch; choose Bloodlines 2 if you prefer a deep single-player RPG and have a powerful PC or next-gen console, and can wait for post-release reviews to confirm performance and value.
