If Borderlands worked for you because of open world exploration, melee combat and a sci-fi setting, the same is here. To that it adds loot and gear systems, and co-op play. They part company on combat and setting: this one brings a sandbox world and ranged combat.

It shares the essentials of what Borderlands does: open world exploration, melee combat and a sci-fi setting. The common ground extends to loot and gear systems, and a first-person view. Where the two diverge is tone and setting: strong narrative focus and a space setting.

It resembles Borderlands most in how it is built: deep RPG systems, open world exploration and melee combat. Both also lean on exploration and discovery, and a sci-fi setting. The distance is in visuals and progression — its own ground is puzzle design and a space setting.

It resembles Borderlands most in how it is built: deep RPG systems, open world exploration and melee combat. Both also lean on exploration and discovery, and offline play. The distance is in visuals and progression — its own ground is precision platforming and a third-person camera.
