Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.71/day in the week to Jul 30 → 5.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I remember waiting for this game in High School in the mid 2000s. I watched as they changed the game to be cel shaded. When they added Brick as a 4th character and I couldn't wait to play it. Many years later and I went back into the original Pandora. And it's held up okay. Its the OG FPS looter shooter that spawned a franchise. And tbh most of that franchise is not fantastic. It's no where near as good as the 2nd game but it was still finding it's identity here. The humour, good but still semi-serious in tone. The gameplay smooth but missing the crispness from the later games. I firmly believe cel-shaded games age really well too. This is an old game but the Graphics dont feel old. But f you like the franchise, its worth coming back to see how it all began. It plays perfectly on Steam Deck too.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 19: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

positive critical· bar length = how often the theme comes up
Game doesn't launch and says missing package core, tried every way to fix it but no dice, stick to the original if you can!
borderlands 1 is better than I thought it would be honestly, the main thing that stands out is the fair but fun difficulty and the more grim theme than other entries, also the guns actually shooting straight is a nice touch too.
Yeah, this game is not for me. The art style is kind of interesting, but I think I was too late on the boat to this game to find it forth my time in the year of our lord, 2026.
Enhanced version is a buggy mess, runs well for a little while then stutters mad crazy. The regular version is much more stable
This game is as fun a time as it was to play the original back when it first came out. No regrets buying it again, this time for PC.
JOGO BAO DEMAIS
старт кайфовой серии, щас играется дубово но в свое время имба
The graphics and controls feel excellent for such an old game. This is the OG simpler take on Borderlands and simpler is actually a better thing. While Borderlands 3 and 4 are too busy with cringy writing and overly busy screens, this original just feels gritty and truly badass.
something about it brings me back to bl1 instead of bl2
