Recommending with a buyer beware. The Handsome Collection is broken. A bunch of dlcs no longer work because Gearbox is no longer supplying licensing files to steam to activate them. This problem is currently only partially fixable, with absolute goats on Steam forums supplying the file for UVHM 1 pack, so you can still finish the game. But many head/skin packs aren't out there as of yet. Aside from that Fight For Sanctuary is also not included in the collection (and costs $15 which is more than the base game). But, it is still Borderlands 2, one of the best fps games ever made, and one of my personal favorite games of all time. There are thousands of hours to be had in this game, and with recent steps in pre-sequel modding, it sounds like it's gonna have a major renaissance. It is a true shame that Gearbox is going on the war path of becoming one of the worst gaming companies of all time, and is actively going back to their best titles and making them worse.
You can make this game as easy as baby's first steps or you can hate yourself and make it as hard as possible where you would rather have your balls crushed instead. I also decided I would like to 100% the game, all DLC's and side missions. Can you guess which option I chose? The ball crushing option. So of course I speed through normal mode and it was a piece of cake. Rushed through True Vault Hunter Mode which was a bit more difficult but I managed and lastly made it to Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. I quickly came to realise that I was quite ambitious and foolhardy in my original goal of wanting to 100% everything in UVHM. It was quite terrible at the start having my ass handed to me before I got good and soon managed a steady pace, with quite a bit of brute force mind you. It was all relatively peaches and cream until I got to the last few missions of the game. The Raid bosses. I can tell you now that if I had to go through BL2 again, I would be more then happy to finish it on TVHM. These raid bosses were horrible to do solo in UVHM, a "smash me into a pulp idoit" type horrible. You bet I cheesed the hell out of these bosses. It should also be mentioned I beat them whilst they were OP 0 and I had OP 4 gear. In order of least cheesiest to most, this is how I bet the raid bosses. Pete the invincible I did completely normally, surprisingly. The ancient dragons I enlisted the help of a mate and did relatively normally. Terramorphous I sat on a rock and avoided most of his attacks. Hyperius I exploited the hell out of using a specific perk on Zero, which nearly instakilled him. Master Gee I sat AFK for an hour and 30 mins and waited for him to die to damage overtime. Haderax and Voracidous? Could not do on UVHM and had to go to TVHM. Any other invincible I did not do because F that and it wasn't required for 100%. And that about sums up my BL2 experience. 8/10, now I have ball cancer.
