While the art might not have seemed to be to my taste at first, the game's overall quality and enjoyable mechanics completely won me over. Borderlands 3 showcases that appearances can be deceiving, and I'm grateful to have discovered the gems it has to offer in terms of gunplay, story, and adventures.… Expand

    This is the best Borderlands game yet. It is by far the best balanced and has the best game and map design. This game is very funny; It feels like the writers actually went to university and paid attention in physics and philosophy class. They were making jokes about everything from Japanese anime, ancient greek philosophy, quantum mechanics, and tons of modern western cultural references.This is the best Borderlands game yet.

They were making jokes about everything from Japanese anime, ancient greek philosophy, quantum mechanics, and tons of modern western cultural references. I was cracking up every five minutes.

    I really enjoy the challenge of the game. It is not crazy difficult for no reason. Almost every death felt earned and a learning lesson. The weapons feel much more balanced this time. I could nit pick some things such as a few side characters that were annoying and cringe inducing (there is a teen girl apprentice I wanted to throw out the ships airlock), but overall, I really enjoyed this game and did think it was the best in the series yet.    … Expand

    Borderlands 3 is a 3D first-person-shooter-looter where you (and up to 3 friends) progress in a mostly linear science-fiction story, kill enemies with guns, and loot the bodies for better guns.

    THE GOOD:
    - This is probably the best installment in the series yet. It has an overall engaging story, fun characters, well-balanced fighting that stays fun throughout, and a good variety of enemies and weapons.
    - The story is pretty funny and ridiculous. It's a great parody of modern social media influencer culture. There is a decent plot twist at the end.
    - The mission featuring the real voices and likenesses of Penn & Teller, and lampooning the Burning Man festival, is particularly well done.
    - If you have a capable graphics card, Borderlands's signature cell-shading art style is still super gorgeous. The environments are prettier than ever.
    - Orange items, the best item type, which has some kind of unique special ability, are much more common, which is more fun to be honest.

    THE BAD:
    - The plot, while overall fun and funny, involves your opponents being omniscient and knowing everything you are doing and planning. It feels a bit frustrating at times to have the bad guys outplay you constantly with knowledge they couldn't possibly have.
    - The are several important cutscenes that involve the NPCs doing major things, but where your characters are apparently sitting around powerless with their thumbs occupied.
    - Make sure you have the subtitles on!  It can be hard to follow the plot sometimes when people are talking while bullets and explosions are flying everywhere!

    THE UGLY:
    - We did encounter some annoying bugs three or four times. Mission objectives would fail to complete, usually after fighting our way through a really long level. It wasn't a show-stopper, but we had to reload the game and start the mission from the beginning again.
    - A lot of the macguffins you search for through the entire game lead up to building a magic bridge across a chasm... a chasm that you could have easily crossed using routinely available vehicles depicted many times in the story... I'm not sure if this was tongue-in-cheek or an oversight?    … Expand

    The main story is rather simple, just your generic go-get-the-bad-guys type of thing. Nothing like borderlands 2, not even close to the pre-sequel. But the game is still fun, totally worth playing.    … Expand

    The negatives:

    It has bugs, not a lot, for example the only bug that was frustrating, when i finished Slaughterstar 3000 i got both Rowans call and Lucians call but both fallen down into the deep, and i couldnt pick them up, cause that item collector bank or something wasnt turned on, when i turned it on it was empty, it took me like 1.5 hours to complete that mission for nothing.
    There are performance issues, game doesnt even look that awesome, not even the explosions beautiful, nothing really beautiful, its meant to be like this i know, but it requires so much.
    Ava. AVA, AVA, AVA, AVA and AVA. She is the most hated character on my list, ever, no cap. Fcking annoying little bastard. I would prefer a mod where she doesnt exist or a mod where she dies instead of anyone really.
    No melee options, you can get weapons, shields, etc. that gives you some sort of extra dmg for your meeles but thats it, not a single knife, pipe, baseball bat, i saw a fcking badass chainsaw in a main quest and i was so disappointed that i couldnt pick it up. (i did a melee amara build but it wasnt satisfying.)

    The positives:

    Guns, guns everywhere in every form. Literally tons of guns, too little space in the backpack.

    Post game content is better than most of the games I've seen. Even more counting the numerous DLCs.

    Borderlands series are the best loot&shoot games what i ever play. Borderlands 3 gives you better movement, better guns, funny side quests and lots of Fun, but worst main Story then Borderlands 2. If you play games ONLY jifor their main Story, B3 isnt for you. If you play games for gameplay, B3 Is must have for you. BTW it have full COOP

    I've sunk about 200 hours into this game from just how much fun the gunplay is. There are just so many different weapon types with different Playstyles that no matter who you are you're gonna find a lot that you like. Each of the playable vault hunters are fun and the environments are just amazing visually. But the main issue of this game is how bare bones and boring the story is.

This just kinda **** in the face of what the other games were building up to, there are just so many plot holes and boring characters that its just such a nothing storyline. But with all this said I still recommend this game to any fans of the series, it easily has the most engaging gameplay out of the entire franchises.… Expand

    why do people give such bad ratings for this game?
    the gameplay is so smooth, weapons are great, you can play so many builds on all characters...
    i'd give a
    9/10 for gameplay
    6/10 for story
    2/10 for dlc's ridiculously high prices and cosmetic micro transactions

    overall i rather play BL3 than any other Bl title.

    Great game! Although I did puke in my mouth a little when I saw Randy Pitchford's name in the credits. Just a natural reaction when I see his name... oh.... just happened again. Not sure why all the 0's. Maybe because I waited to play it once all the hootenanny with the bugs was settled.

    I enjoy the unique atmosphere of this game: unique art style, irreverent tone. I like that it's not a constant-shooting, run and gun game. I'm interested enough to carefully watch my inventory of new items, always looking to update and improve guns and shields as soon as possible. So far the difficulty level at normal (intermediate) is about right for me, not too hard, not too easy.I enjoy the unique atmosphere of this game: unique art style, irreverent tone.

    It's not a complex game, so when you just want to divert yourself with a fun atmosphere and some gunplay, without having to think too much, this game is good for that. (If you're in a mood to think more about your game, then try something else like RDR2 or Cyberpunk 2077).    … Expand

    Gearbox has a problem: the fantastic Borderlands 2 is too good to be beaten. But in the case of Borderlands 3, it is still more than a worthy successor. The filmmakers brought many pop-cultural references, maybe pushing too hard on how they want to be “modern”, but otherwise it's a great game again. [Issue#298]

    Borderlands 3 offers a generous experience, with colourful characters, neat gameplay and a charming universe. Its formula, very close to that of the previous episodes does not revolutionize the show but its small new features bring a little freshness and the scenario makes us want to go to the end of the adventure. Its dynamism and nervousness make it a choice piece for adrenaline-ready FPS lovers and license fans.

    The fun, humorous storyline, some great dialogue and theatrical accents of the diverse characters, beautifully varied locations and the same great gunplay that Borderlands is renowned for, means that Borderlands 3 becomes another must have title in the series.
