    I am a big HOTS fan and have also played few days of Overwatch beta and Overwatch feels as a much more polished game.
    Battleborn has a free to play feeling to it and I wouldn't recommend this game for the full price.    … Expand

With each of the many characters having to be played over and over and over to unlock anything. The worst part of the game is the item system,which is nothing like borderlands. You either pay cash to get packs or grind bosses in story mode. The result of which is you can only use 3 items at any one time for all characters which only effects your stats. No customizing the many different characters with weapons and armor to make them your own. just a big expensive let down, that made me join up to warn people.… Expand

    +The graphcis are top notch.. WHile some people cant get over the fact that this is NOT Borderlands, and something different, by the same company.. It is beautiful.. It will feel chaotic at first, but after 2 or 3 matches, its all identifiable!
    +The controls are tight, crisp, responsive, and satisfying.. Long jumps like Borderlands (you will feel many similarities here, which is good) Firing a weapon, swinging a sword, using a staff, or throwing knives.. It all is awesome to play, and you really get that MOBA feel, with the different characters
    +Characters.. This is where the game shines.. Each and every character feels hand crafted.. They each fill their own role (for their respected factions, i believe there are 5 factions fo 5 players each).. They look great, have great humor, but lack back story.. They have many, MANy unlockables including oufits (simpyl color changes) and taunts.. I could care less about either of these, but many will appreciate them, and i appreciate the extr effort here..

    Unfortunately, thats where it starts to fall.. The game lacks serious content.. While i spent an entire weekend playing over and over 2 maps, there simply isnt enough content with 8 missions.. I have no interest in Multiplayer, and only play sp/co-op.. Even adding the 2 or 3 modes for Mp, this game has far too high a price tag, for how little you get.. I know, alot of effort was put on characters, but you need more to do with them.. Its like i bought a digital collection of Action figures..!?

    i for one, HATE this trend of releasing games, and then trickling the rest of it out over the coarse of a year (or 10.. Looking at you, Destiny!).. The Division is another example of not enough content at launch, and i think thats where Battleborn is going to lose many fans..

    In an already over saturated market (fps) which is where its going t fight for players, it just doesnt warrant the $60 price tag.. Even with minimal advertisement, you can see many people turned off by its price.. I myself, who LOVE the game, am also not buying it... Its only been a week or two, and theres really not a very impressive player base, and im thnkign i made the right decision.. Its an always online game, and once the players stop playing, and the servers go offline, you no longer own it anyway..

    Ill gladly purchase this game at $40.00, even with a small playerbase, but $60.00 (plus whatever DLC they decide to throw at you,, it IS Gearbox, afterall) youll be looking at yet another title that ends up being $80-150.00 when all is said and done!    … Expand

    I enjoyed Battleborn and I think it's a okay game. Still need improvements to be a good game.
    What really pisses me off is the matchmaking system, takes so long to find someone and almost always must play solo which makes the game boring for me.

There was absolutely no explanation of anything or tutorials when I played so I'm sure I missed a lot. They just threw you into the game after picking your character so I was running blind. Did not know about collecting spheres, etc. until dying about a million times, or what my objectives were. I felt like a chicken running around with my head cut off just shooting randomly at enemies. When I got stuck in a room and couldn't move (glitch) I gave up and quit playing. Obviously I'm not the only one who had problems or disliked the game (see the ratings) but this game does not deserve a 10. Can't believe that - must be the developers or they paid somebody off. There's plenty of better games out there than to waste your money on this one.… Expand

    Most fun I've had in an online shooter for years. Despite what many people think; Battleborn does not play like your traditional MOBA at all.

Most people also won't understand what the game is about without playing it first. It may look like a generic F2P game to those judging the game purely from appearance or gameplay footage, but I assure you it's much more to it than that (there's not even a single sign of paid for content in game).

    It plays very similarly to a good first person action/shooter. Imagine Borderlands on steroids, throw in Bioshock Infinite's plasmids too for each hero's power. All the character's I've played so far have unique skills and require learning their skill tree which is basically most of the MOBA resemblance over and done with. There's an interesting blend of competitive modes which take a couple concepts from many different games but nonetheless feels new and refreshing. It's an incredibly addictive game with a lot of depth to each character; not to mention how each has a strong personality.

    If Borderlands humour is your humor, then you will absolutely love the comic book style presentation of the co-op campaign! Yes I said campaign, and it really feels like one given how the missions are fully fleshed out unlike some other games (Titanfall).

    I really look forward to the future of Battleborn with this well polished superhero comic book feel Gearbox have gone with. It's the only multiplayer focused action shooter I can think of with story and characters I actually care about being primarily a single-player kind of gamer.    … Expand

    because this game is lifeless…
    Battleborn is a borderlands meets moba styled first person shooter with none of the charm
    Battleborn features 2 modes, a story mode and a competitive mode…
    Both modes can be played with any of the 25 available characters or 26 on PlayStation after you’ve successfully completed the requirements to unlock them…
    And every single one of these characters are fleshed out, feeling completely unique…
    guaranteeing a playstyle match for anyone…
    it’s just a shame that the rest of the game isn’t as well thought out as these characters are…
    Battleborn is unique from most first person shooters in that, every story mission or competitive multiplayer match your character starts at level 1... And as you level up to a maximum of 10 you are given a choice in a perk to enhance your shield, cool down rates, health, damage, or to enhance one of your 3 special moves... the third being unlocked once you reach level 5…
    The story mode consists of 9 episodes and depending on whether you go in alone or play with 4 other people for a total 5, these 9 episodes will take you anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour, making this story mode a hefty 6-9 hours long…
    I definitely recommend you play with friends though, as I found these missions to be insanely challenging playing on your own..
    And while there are checkpoints, there is no saving so you must play through these 1 hour missions in 1 go…
    You also have limited lives... so if you lose all of your lives you fail the mission and have to start all the way from the beginning…
    These lives are frustratingly shared when you play co-op,
    so it’s very possible for 1 bad player to cost you a final boss fight win... but thankfully you can revive fallen players…
    This story mode is the best part of battleborn, aside from the characters..
    and that’s not saying much as it all feels so uninspired…
    Every mission has a self-contained story that leads to a final conclusion but all 9 feel exactly the same…
    Kill these bad guys, get to the next checkpoint, kill a mini boss, do this 2 more times, get to the main boss.. Get close to defeating him but oh no he has an annoying shield... disable it…defeat him for real, oh wait a surprise 2nd shield that you totally didn’t expect because every boss before this one totaly didn’t also have a surprise shield…
    just kidding, they did.
    needless to say, this story mode quickly becomes a grind…
    There are a few good jokes from the characters... but after a few hours, it’s just not cute anymore…
    They’re background noise in a grind fest…
    And there really is no payoff for grinding rather than ranking your character up for a new skin, or to unlock another character...
    There’s no real loot here, so there’s no incentive to explore these levels or grind these levels…
    you’re literally just playing until you unlock a different character to do it all over again…
    or of course to play in competitive multiplayer…
    And remember how I said story mode was the best part?
    I meant it.
    Competitive multiplayer consists of 3 modes…
    A capture, incursion, and meltdown mode...
    These are capture and hold 3 different points on the map, get to the enemies sentries and destroy them, or an escort battle, where you try to stop the other team from getting their robots from one spot to another…
    Each mode has only 2 maps, and these modes are even more lifeless and filler feeling than the campaign..
    Your standard boring stuff...
    id say its fun for a little bit, but id be lying to you.
    No team death match, which I think would’ve been insanely fun with the leveling up systems, and the different character feels…
    but it’s not here... the mode that would be the most fun and makes the most sense is not here…
    While the story mode does have its moments of fun, and the characters are a blast to play around with and figure out..
    There’s ultimately not much here to keep you entertained for more than a few days.
    A deep system of characters, with a shallow arena to play in.

    Battleborn is a bit of a mixed bag. It's a good game, but at the moment has some very noticeable flaws that need to be mended.

    Firstly, the game's population and matchmaking. On PC, the game's community is fairly small at the moment. Averaging around 3000 players at any given moment, with slight peaks and dips. It's best to play it at peak hours. Due to this, you may wish to consider    Battleborn is a bit of a mixed bag.

    Second, there are some strange design choices, both in visuals and audio. Whether it is issues with the contrast, with many bright colors and particle effects, or the fact many key sound effects and music are either too quiet or missing.

    Third, there is a lot of grinding to be had in this game. This is not necessarily a negative, simply something subjective. The game has a lot of things behind grind walls, like characters and loot.

    Fourth, to me the story mode is rather lackluster. It is mostly just repetitive mob shooting, with some dry spells. But since I got this mostly for the multiplayer anyway, this doesn't really effect me much at all.

    I would also like to note that this game is a MOBA more than it is an FPS. Due to the marketing of the game by Gearbox, this was not entirely clear to many people. Just make sure you or anyone you know who is interested in the game.

    With that all in mind, this is still a decent game and worth checking out if you are into MOBA's or want to try something a little unique. The character designs are varied and most are pretty cool, the gameplay is pretty fun, and it is certainly a game that escalates in enjoyment the more friends you have playing with you. It's a flawed game, but a fun one. And I just hope Gearbox can address some of these issues down the road.    … Expand

    Total size on my hard drive (base only, without the Season Pass content): 25GB.

    Battleborn is a game of two parts: PvE and PvP.
    PvE
    First off, this is not a game for soloing. It can be done, but takes FOREVER. It's much better to try to find a match with other people. Unfortunately, this means the campaign is experienced in bits and pieces, frequently out of order. The story is episodic anyway, but any kind of sense to the story becomes hard to grasp. There's some guy Rendain who's trying to do – something – and our team of Battleborn, assisted by genius Kleese and the AI, Nova, are trying to stop him. Sounds good. The maps and levels flow well, the banter with Kleese and supporting characters is funny (the first few times), the graphics are colorful, and the combat has a good feel (wish sprint was faster, though Speed power-ups help). Bosses are suitably epic, but most enemies behave the same – and in many cases, ARE the same. PvE is best used to practice playing specific characters; expect it to get old fast – even with alternate dialogue for in-game transitions.

    PvP
    Several different modes with decent net-code – I didn't have many problems with lag (a few, but nothing catastrophic). There are the usual concerns (and complaints) about OP characters. Team-work and a balanced squad is rather more crucial than in other team-based games. Kill/death ratio has zero importance; work together to take down the enemy. If you try to go off on your own and rambo it, you'll die fast. Gearbox is still releasing new maps and characters at the time of this review, so there is some variety still to be had. The problem is that people just aren't playing Battleborn; the Steam “now playing” list indicates 800 people playing at once is a busy day. Out of the millions that log on to Steam every day, that's an incredibly small amount – and that's down from the 1,000 – 1,200 that showed up for a double XP weekend. This indicates that people do own the game, and play it for special events, but they have other things they'd rather play on a daily basis.

    Ten people are required for PvP; if you don't have them, you can't start the match. Two is the minimum for PvE, but there's no drop-in / drop-out. Character skills are leveled up in the middle of the match. Press 1 to open the skill menu, press Q, E, or F to choose a skill, the skill is upgraded and the menu closes. It happens in mere seconds and works well. But the very next match, I have to level my character all over again. Obviously I'm supposed to experiment with new ways to play a character, but once you've figured out the best way to play a character, the in-game leveling just becomes annoying. Equipping the load-out doesn't activate the gear in it; the gear has to be activated by accumulating enough shards to do so. Shards are acquired by searching the area for deposits; sometimes enemies drop shards as well. This isn't a problem in PvE with three players or in PvP. In PvE with the maximum of five players, though, there just aren't enough shards to go around. Add to this that the better gear costs more shards to activate, and that it helps to spend shards on building turrets and such, and PvE becomes a mad rush for shards.

    Gear can help with things like damage and shields, but it won't provide new weapons; all weapons are bespoke based upon which character you've chosen. I'm not sure if Gearbox was deliberately trying to make Battleborn different from Borderlands, but some simple weapon choices and alternatives would have helped add new ways to play beyond choosing a character. Instead, playing a specific way requires a specific character; it helps focus attention on the gallery of rogues Gearbox has assembled, but it felt limiting.

    I didn’t have much of an issue with PvP balancing (Benedict was OP, but his reload speed was recently nerfed, largely solving the problem). I had no issue with Battleborn’s graphical optimization, either - I also didn't try to max out the graphics and blame Battleborn when the game started stuttering (reduce Draw Distance, Particle Effects and Ambient Occlusion for starters). The cartoony art style of Battleborn might lead you to think you can max it out (like I could do with Borderlands 2), but don't be fooled. Battleborn is very demanding when maxed.

    Battleborn provides a good amount of entertainment, but needs more maps (both PvE and PvP), weapon customization, and a larger player base. Get it discounted so you don't feel too bad if / when you tire of it. Sounds harsh, but there really isn't that much to Battleborn.    … Expand

Parece que se han acomodado y no salen de su zona segura.

    2º Una idea minimamente interesante, estropeada por intentar centrarlo demasiado en su apartado multijugador. El modo campaña se hace muy corto, se nota que esta puesto como calzador para intentar atraer a más publico y para decir "eh, hemos pensado en toda la gente".

    3º Un sistema de progresión al estilo juego gratuito (también llamado chino farmer) donde tendrás que jugar un montón de partidas para conseguir mejor equipamiento y aspectos, en un juego en el que, bajo mi punto de vista, no pintaba nada.

    Sinceramente me da pena, he disfrutado el modo campaña, pero la obligación de conectarte a un servidor cuando juegas en solitario y lo corta que es la campaña, han estropeado una posibilidad de hacer algo realmente interesante.

    Añadir que este análisis esta basado en el modo historia, no puedo opinar del modo multijugador, pues solo he jugado un par de partidas con un amigo, y a mi no me atrae lo más mínimo.

    Solo lo recomiendo si te atrae mucho y lo encuentras muy barato para echar una tarde.    … Expand

    Battleborn was a fantastically written title and the only FPS MOBA that existed (while holding any sort of relevance in the genre.) It had spectacularly funny writing that kept matches and campaign missions fresh with each character.

It had spectacularly funny writing that kept matches and campaign missions fresh with each character. Every character was distinct not only in visual design and gameplay but personality with even the two COD Parody characters being some of the most charming in the cast. If you get the opportunity to try this game somehow in the future I would say it is worth a shot if only for the voicelines. They also have characters for those not accustomed to FPS shooting like the mage Orendi.

    It is sad that this game is dead now and a large part of that death was its direct competition to Overwatch. Mind you I bought the game mainly because I tried OW and despised the experience, but this was made up of everything I was missing from OW. It had a singleplayer campaign with a decent story attached to it. The characters were actual characters and not just generic archetypes that are better described as placeholders than anything else. The multiplayer was designed to be a MOBA which is a nice mix of PVP & PVE (rather than the PVP arena/hero shooters of the time) with the devs taking into consideration how to change around the map design to suit an FPS game. It was just what I was looking for but it didn't pick up the playerbase and had some really bad marketing (I didn't even realize it was a MOBA until it was out and I watched gameplay).    … Expand

    A chaotic, middling effort that should be low on your team-based shooter priority list. [July 2016, p.72]

    Battleborn can be enjoyable, but only with friends and only for so long, especially when there’s a better alternative – Overwatch. [07/2016, p.52]

    Not enough content and too much grinding detracts from the great cast of characters and great presentation. [Issue#252, p.58]
