    Bought the game to give it an honest shake, with all the controversy surrouding it, I felt it would be the most honest to look at it myself.
    I can say, without a doubt, it's a horribly repetitive game, indistinguishable from the previous two, and frankly not worth the price by miles.

    Don't buy it, not even on sale.

The attempt at humor is cringe and terrible. The characters have almost no personality. The villains are the worst and most boring villains you'll see in FPS, yes, even worst than the one in the new Wolfenstein.

    The graphics are a little better than Borderlands 2, a 2012 game has almost the same graphics as a 2019 game, unbelievable. The gameplay is... Ok? Borderlands 3 starts good but the shooting gets boring after a while, shooting bullet sponges isn't as fun as it sounds, even with the endless weapons the game offers. It becomes a really painful experience when the story and the gameplay doesn't work.

    In addition, the developers made a bad store choice to sell the game. Epic Games Store has many problems that everyone is already tired of hearing. The launcher sometimes does not work, the game disappears from the bookstore for a few hours, the game does not start because it does not recognize that you bought the game, many crashes. Apart from credit card cloning, poor security, etc.

    DON'T BUT THIS GAME, take your money elsewhere.    … Expand

    The whole point of a review like this is to review the product, not the drama surrounding it, and that's what I intend to do.

    Full disclosure: this is a first impression, I have a few hours into the game and got to the second planet available in the main story. I have not finished the story nor reached the level cap so I cannot give any opinions on the end-game or Guardian level system.

    The game is currently plagued by many technical issues. The problem I dealt with, primarily, was stuttering, particularly when aiming down weapon sights. This is an issue that may be fixed in a future patch, though the game should not have been released in this state.

    Assuming you know what older Borderlands games were like, this game is essentially a simple iteration of the Borderlands formula. Many mechanics present in previous games have been carried over and improved upon. One of the biggest improvements in core gameplay mechanics are the shooting mechanics, evidently inspired by Bungie's title - Destiny. Weapons have a much more visceral feeling to them than previous titles, due to a combination of better animations, sound design, etcetera.

    Aside from the many bugs and technical problems, how much you enjoy Borderlands 3 will depend largely on what you are actually looking for from this title. If you are simply looking for more Borderlands, this can sate your hunger, at least once the bugs are fixed. If you are looking for something more ambitious, you may want to look elsewhere.

    I, for one, don't see being predictable and iterative as an inherently bad thing.    … Expand

    I'm not sure why everyone is so mad. The game so far is incredible, aside from some bugs and glitches which can be fixed it has the same feeling as the previous games, just way better. Same loving characters, comparable humor to the past games and great gameplay.

    The game is everything I hoped for... unlike Destiny 2, which I have played a lot, there is actually a story (though silly and uninspiring) , and lots of different weapons to grid for. Also, my character has dialogue and a personality. I truly enjoy the improved player movement, and weapon feel.

    While there are *improvements* here and there with this game (mainly the gunplay being slightly better), I don't think there is enough to make this game worth playing. Maybe I was spoiled with Shadow Warrior 2 which I thought did the "looter shooter" thing far better. Regardless, I would give this game a miss unless you are a HUGE fan of Borderlands.

    It's not helpful that the reviews of this game are divided with hardcore fans and "critics" trying to counter review each other. I guess that's Metacritic in a nutshell. It's not that I disagree with the controversy surrounding this game, I just don't think it's something that should influence a review score.    … Expand

    Feels very dated. Cringey immature "humour". So many bugs. An awful game. Don't waste your money.

    Don't let the Steam salt kids fool you, 90% of them didn't even played the game. If you liked Borderlands 1 and 2 you will have a good time with the third one.

    Boderlands 3 is the third (technically fifth if you count TPS and TFTB) game in the Boderlands series. If I could describe this game, it would be "more Borderlands". It makes improvements from the previous entries but still retains many of the base concepts from them. You're not going to find anything groundbreaking or revolutionary here, but why reinvent the wheel when it already works well enough? My first ten hours of the game so far have been fine with a constant 60 FPS with everything on high (using a 1070) and only one issue popping up so far (character got stuck and had to FT to get myself unstuck), although the M&KB controls take some getting used to (especially for vehicles) and I find the "Humor" the writers employed to be overly irritating and juvenile at times ("The Big Succ", really?).

    If you've liked any one of previous games, you'll probably like this one. If you didn't like any of them, then you'll probably not like this one.    … Expand

    Epic store exclusivity already deserves 0, but this game isn't even good. Graphics are slightly better, but everything else is significantly worse: Vault hunters are boring and have no personality, humor is pathetic, environment design is much worse than in borderlands 2. I can't name anything that this game does better than the previous one except graphics.

Either with 60 FPS mode, or an insurmountable amount of unique weaponry, Borderlands 3 has something to offer you on console that nothing else can. Only downside is the antagonists, they pale in comparison to their predecessor, Handsome Jack. Even without his shadow looming over them they still just aren't that intimidating or intriguing. In comparison to how amazing everything else is though, I have no complaints. Coming from a long time Borderlands/Destiny/Diablo fan, this game is truly worth getting if you enjoy loot in any aspect.

    This rating is just about the game itself, not Epic exclusivity or anything about Gearbox as a company—frankly I can't stand Pitchford, but the amount of work every other Gearbox employee put into this game truly shows. In many ways I think it surpasses Borderlands 2. The writing is good and in general I would say it's a bit on the lighter side, which is partly because of the villains.

In many ways I think it surpasses Borderlands 2. The writing is good and in general I would say it's a bit on the lighter side, which is partly because of the villains. Of course, going in with the mindset that they'll never be better villains than Handsome Jack will probably hurt your perception of them. The Calypso twins are funny and douchey in their own right, but they're a completely different brand of characters from Jack and I found myself fascinated by their origins. As for the gameplay, the weapons all feel great to handle and I've played as the Siren and the Gunner so far, both of whom I've enjoyed. The reason I give it a 9 instead of a 10 is because I've had some trouble with how the game cutscenes look on certain-sized screens (21:9) and that does detract a bit from the experience. Hopefully it will be patched.… Expand

    Honestly it feels much the same as Borderlands 2, albeit slightly prettier... but with literally none of the charm.

    The villains of the main piece are AWFUL. They offer nothing in terms of entertainment value to the game, they're just irritating (hardly a surprised when they're based on stream culture) the first few hours of gameplay make the entire experience feel like a very, very poor DLC for Borderlands 2 - with slightly less enjoyable vault hunters.

    The gunplay is entertaining, albeit outclassed by other looter shooters. The variety of guns is incredible.

    But I say if you're on the fence, stay on the side that doesn't cost you $60, wait for it to be on steam. and on sale. Like 85% off kinda sale. Just play Borderlands 2, it does everything this does but better.

    Just another AAA game that didn't live up to the hype. 5/10    … 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.
