I mean – it’s completely natural. There's only so much banana bread a person can bake.

But as a plus, being homebound as we approach winter means there's so much extra time to play all those games you've been meaning to try – am I right?

Set in the fictional world of Pandora, antagonist Handsome Jack takes over the Hyperion Corporation and declares himself Dictator.

Players take on the roles of Vault Hunters in an attempt to uncover the secrets left behind by ancient aliens. But vying for the contents of these vaults are arms-dealing corporations – like Hyperion Corp.

Here's why you’re going to LOVE this game.

The look and feel of "Borderlands: The Handsome Collection" channels some series comic book vibes, with saturated colours and hand-drawn textures. Set in a dystopian future, the in-world architecture of this game will make you feel like you’re on the set of a post-apocalyptic film.

But what makes it unique to other role playing games?

Well, "Borderlands: The Handsome Collection" is one of the few AAA games that integrates humour into the narrative and, let’s be honest, we could all use some LOLs right now. Handsome Jack will also test your expectations of a video game villain, with some ~rather interesting~ character development between the two games. We won't say any more on that...

To get "Borderlands: The Handsome Collection" free on PC until June 4, visit the Epic Games Store now. Remember, once you download it, it’s yours to keep forever!
