    Just a 6/10. Repeat usage of most code. The entire guns system is so convoluted it takes hours to get guns- or shields- or anything of use. Don't get me wrong, you'll get plenty of spam: repeat voice lines; pistols; and lazy writing.

Prior games had a lot of unique bosses with interesting mechanics, varied enemies, lots of loot, legendaries with unique feels, a open world, etc, this game has none of that.

    There are linear quests that open up briefly to open worlds before shoving you down narrow paths one after another, the open world aspect barely exists, the weapons are bland and more or less just stat sticks, gone are the days of unique weapons with cool innovations. mob spawns dump you right in the middle of fights and you can't really effectively pick off mobs with sniper rifles as they sway heavily, often times direct hits with them don't count as i've put 5 or 6 headshots into a mob with every single one showing a effect of hitting the wall directly behind his head, this also applies to when they are behind cover. Making sniping near worthless.

    The classes are bland and the skills are again just various stat boosts no real innovative ways to build characters just min maxing stats and its boring as hell.

    The story is atrocious as the main villains are literally youtubers, its like they were trying to make a statement about how they hate them especially given how they have been sending literal thugs illegally to youtubers houses before the game released to try and intimidate them. The dialogue is so incredibly cringey its like they didn't even hire writers, the jokes are bad and unfunny in every way, your favorite characters have been butchered in bland pointless characters and the deaths in the game that should feel meaningful don't even hit a single emotional beat as by that point in the game you've probably checked out like i did. IT felt less like a story and more like fetch quest the game.

    The is so little enemy variation, prior games did a dance between wildlife, bandits, aliens and unique bosses to keep things fresh. The wildlife is barely in the game and the monsters / aliens all play the same as do the bosses, everything feels the same like your grinding the same first stage over and over and over infinitely. It gets so old so fast specially given the lack of ways to play and the lackluster weapons.

    This is like how borderlands 2 the prequel felt like it has lost its touch a bit but this one full on derailed and has no magic left. If your into repetitive boring, grind fests while playing a bullet sponge as you literally sit in the open and pick off enemies then this game is for you. They have literally downgraded or outright destroyed every aspect of what made 1 and 2 great, I mean I got to level 20 skipping every side after the first few as they were just terrible, repetitive shooting galleries and when I got to 20 I realized, why am I playing this game? I'm literally not having any fun and the more I play the more I hate it as the effort put in only seems to go down the further you get in the game. Thats not even getting into the woke elements that I don't care to have shoved down my throat when I play a video game.

    Congrats gearbox you've taken a incredible game and literally run it into the ground with unoriginal ideas and milked the franchise dry. I won't be buying another 2k or gearbox game again, this feels like duke nukem forever or fallout 76 levels of crap. DO NOT BUY THIS    … Expand

This is a solid game, with notable flaws. It's more borderlands, its a lot of shooting, looting, and farming. Kill stuff, orange (legendary) items or bust, this game really in a nutshell. The story was underwhelming, and I found this game was not as funny as 2, and the supporting cast was weak and uninteresting, I also found myself killing so much stuff in the campaign, I always get confused after the explosions... like ok i just killed 50 bad guys, what was the objective again? I also ran into 7-8 bugs during my 30 hour playthrough of this game, all required a restart and one completely loss my playthrough, not cool. I know this is part of the game genre, but exploration does not really reward you, you're better off farming bosses and locations, just an fyi to newcomers of this series. Now all the negatives are out of the way here are the pros.
    Pros:
    -that legendary drop
    -easy, but fun, diverse bosses
    - weapon/items drop keeps game fresh
    -solid gunplay, excellent overall gameplay
    -tons of content, and that doesn't include the lengthy campaign

    It's more borderlands, but this game and genre needs to evolve. Right now this game is meant for people who like grinding for the legendary weapon or item. If the keywords rng, farming, looting, shooting,addicting, and killing is your thing..go ahead. If your keywords are story, multiplayer, innovation and graphics, pass on this game.    … Expand

    Awesome sequel to borderlands series but is completely riddled with bugs just like every new game to come out. Crashes ALOT, lost progress, guns that disappear from your inventory. If you want story and fun you got it, if you want to 100% keep everything you've worked for this ain't it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At first I really didn't like this installment in the Borderlands franchise but the solid core gameplay grew on me until now I'm firmly hooked. The bedrock loop of the game, 'shooting an insane arsenal of fun guns and collecting loot' is undeniably dialed in. The guns are cool, they have great little animated features, and there is something for everyone. Also, unlike many loot shooters, when you find a gun you really like you can actually use it for a good chunk of hours instead of it immediately being obsolete.
    The graphics seem dated to me, and some of the design choices are just bad, like the way they use an actual actress for the sirens' voices in your head.
    The enemy variety is really impressive, especially in side quests, where you might encounter a unique boss monster at the end of a seemingly mundane quest chain. Just when I thought I had seen everything the game had for me to shoot at, they would introduce something new.
    I loved the postgame difficulty sliders, which let you adjust the perfect sweet spot for mopping up side quests and other activities. This is a genius idea and I wish more games implemented it. The new mayhem modes are fun and I do get way better loot out of them.
    The Circle of Slaughter mode is one of my favorites and can be extremely challenging. Some of them can take upwards of two hours, and it's CONSTANT fighting action. Also some have very cool unique bosses not seen in the regular story mode, so it's worth it to play through them all!
    The biggest downside of the game for me is the comedy. It's bad. So bad. And I say that not only as a fan of comedy, but as a professional comedy writer. So many of the jokes are dated it makes me cringe. I remember Claptrap fondly from BL1 and 2 but he was immediately grating in this game. His schtick has worn very thin. Also there are multiple characters doing a terrible Deadpool impression, the chief offender being Vaughn, who might be my most-hated character in any game. If there was paid DLC that was simply, 'Murder Vaughn', I would buy it. If there were expensive microtransactions that let me delete him from the game, I would happily pay for them. He sucks. That said, the comedy beats eventually turn into white noise as you keep playing, and there are a few clever jokes in there. I especially like the enemies' dying words.
    Other gripes are the loading screen before the titles are even finished, the unskippable cutscenes (in 2019?) and the insane lag issues with pulling up your Echo screen. Changing your loadout in the midst of battle is basically a guaranteed death, and that sucks.
    Still, if you want a loot shooter with an insane variety of enemies and a ton of postgame content, this is a great game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is a decent game, more borderlands but a lot of the Cameo characters feel like they were thrown in last min, some missions get stuck or glitch and require closing the game and opening it up again. Had some lag issues and also a weird glitch that makes my name and my group members names fly around the screen constantly which is not only distracting and annoying. I also feel that they killed off characters just to kill them off with characters making some very dumb decision that i felt was really forced. Endgame is already boring me and my friends who have already hit LVL 50 and gotten all the legendaries they want im currently LVL 47 with my other friend being 49 and it just feels like a chore to us to play the game to gather legendaries and match making takes a longtime as well, if anyone thinks its my internet i got 300 mbs download and 50 mbs upload speeds. But in conclusion it is more borderlands not a bad thing but it just feels like it could have been more.… Expand

    This game is a lot of fun, but it's lacking something new to make it more interesting than Borderlands 2. It's basically Borderlands 2.5, but it's not a bad thing, just not something great. The story is a bit tedious at times, and boss fights can be dull. The dark-humour, memorable characters, and excellent loot system is what kept me engaged though.

    And I played on PS4 Pro so I can't complain about the performance. Worked pretty well for me. Unfortunately I have no desire to keep playing. Looting & shooting is only as fun as your purpose in the world, and without a solid story or writing, there is no purpose.    … Expand

    I waited 8 years for borderlands 3 and I am very underwhelmed.
    It feels like a giant expansion of borderlands 2 with few new mechanics, and only one interesting/original class (which I refuse to play because EVERYONE is playing it).
    The story is dookie, and the humor is very lackluster, shame.

    Borderlands 3 is, by no means, a bad game. It's alright. The most die-hard loot-shooter fans might even tell you it's a great game. It's basically Borderlands 2, but with some really minor changes - more akin to a DLC than what you'd expect in a sequel.

It doesn't seem to try to compete with anyone, or show that the developers have made progress since the last game.

    And that would normally be fine. We see games like that being released every year in form of EA's sports games and the Call of Duty franchise before they added Sledgehammer to their list of developers and turned it into a 3-year development cycle. However, Borderlands was developed over a period of ridiculous 7 years, and not a single year. The blatant lack of progress is absolutely amazing, but for the wrong reasons. I don't know how they managed to add so incredibly little in such a vast amount of time. That's about the average time of a console's life cycle, before the next generation of consoles roll out. It's about the same amount of time it took Rockstar to turn the original Red Dead Redemption into a vastly different, upgraded and far more expansive game in Red Dead Redemption 2. It's baffling what little work they've done in those 7 years. These inflated, "professional critics reviews" don't make any sense when you take all of this into account. I would have expected a game with such an underwhelming degree of progress over its predecessor to have been made in 2-3 years.

    If you think the game is great, then that's fine, good for you. However, Borderlands 3 is, objectively speaking, an incredibly underdeveloped game that belongs far more fittingly in the PS3 era. And that's despite its generous 7 years in development. If you liked Borderlands 2 and you're not in a hurry to get this one, I recommend waiting until they put it on sale, because they're basically charging the price of a full game for a last-gen game that they likely didn't put much effort into producing.    … Expand

    - texture load not only when map loads, but very often when you approach the objects or even npc, you have to wait a second or two, for texture to load. This can be also easily spoted when aiming at npc or enemies with sniper rifer. Game assumes that you are not close enough to load textures, so you see low res textures
    - game simply doesn't look good. Character and weapon models are in fact improved, but the whole rest is not. It doesn't feel like current generation game

    Story is made without much of a splendor. It's just jumping through different location, without a feeling of a purpose. Even when something 'big' is happening, the game doesn't success in presenting the magnitude of the event.

    As much as I loved borderlands 2, that was 7 years ago. One of the borderlands 3 biggest flaws, is that it resembles too much borderlands 2. Too little things got changed compared to the sequel.

    It still is a fun game once you suffer through technical issues, but it surely is not great, and I'm affraid might destroy or seriously damage the franchise in general. I played all the dlc's of previous borderlands, I don't feel like investing more money into b3. Even if you are borderlands fan, wait for patches and discounts.    … Expand

    It's more Borderlands with some quality of life enhancements. Graphics are pretty sharp, story is nothing outstanding but still reminiscent of the Borderlands universe, loot shooter gameplay loop is still fun, and co-op play is where you get most of the enjoyment. No reason not to like this game if you liked the first two & the Pre-Sequel.

    Ok, remember Borderlands 2, so this is the same thing... but with a few extra mechanics and oriented to make you spend a lot of money.

    The humor is not at the same level as it was in Boarderlands 2. Waiting so many years for this feels a little bit like a disappointment. But playing with friends makes it fun. Wait for a discount.

FL4K works but is incredibly boring though Moze is interesting but only when in her mech. With all the hype built around this it just feels like another over promised and under delivered game. There are tons of bugs, just like the other Borderlands games, though to be fair patches could iron those problems out. DLC might make the game more interesting but the developers would have to do a full 180 from their release product to pull this off and I don't see them putting in that kind of effort. The CEO and review debacles aside, the fan community was looking forward to a decent game and B3 just feels like a Kickstarter that lost the love. So many punches got pulled here, especially towards the end of the game where main characters die only to be met with a quick one mission "dialogue mourning period" before its back to poop jokes and repetitive dialogue. This is such a missed opportunity.… Expand

Even this complaint about the slow loading time for the inventory seems to be nonsense from my experience so far.....the menu comes up quickly, the fast travel loading times are super fast, and I'm playing on a bog-standard PS4, not a Pro. And man, the open world environment is just beautiful to behold. The very first area and the first weapons you pick up might be a little bit meh, but that's kind of par for the course with a game like this.....it starts out basic, but its not long before you start to open up some great areas and weapons.

    Each new environment you unlock is better than the last, and the weapons along with them. The gameplay is incredibly fun and satisfying, and also gets better and better as you figure out which weapons and perks you like. And ultimately what makes a game like this good.....crafting a character around your play style, fun side missions and compelling areas to explore.....this game has in spades. 10 out of 10 for me, no question. Easily as good, if not better, than Borderlands 2, and a big improvement on the last one. As far as I can tell, pretty much all these negative reviews relate to the co-op mode and associated glitches, so if you plan to solo this game, ignore them because they're not relevant. The only drawback of this game is that you look at the clock at 10am then when you look again what seems like 5 minutes later, its 10 O'clock at night. If anything this game is too good.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've reached Promethea and have played a few hours there and I'm pretty disappointed in this game. I'm not thrilled with any of the Vault Hunters but am playing the Beast Hunter as you 3 pet helpers (one would have been good enough!). One thing I find is that the level up menus are ridiculously complicated as are the fast travel menus. More is not always better. Maybe its just me but I'm also having a hard time reading anything on the screen and I'm about 6 feet away from the TV. The blurb for the guns is hard to read and usually an ugly color (too much black and red lettering). You have to step back to read the whole description when going to pick it up. I haven't gotten any purple or gold guns yet either. It's hard to see what kind of gun they are, too, as the actual gun does not match the symbol for the gun (shotgun, pistol, etc.). Ammo and cash zips into your inventory and you don't even get a chance to see what it is!! Some money is yellow and some is black & white!!!??? The humor is forced and fairly stupid. I was shocked at the voice of the female villain! She sounds like a Valley Girl not an evil villain. One of my biggest disappointments is the music in Moxxxie's bar! I want that cool techno vibe and this one is playing low key mood music!! I hate it!! I've not experienced any glitches (playing on PS4 regular gold version) just disappointed in story, characters, guns, dialog boxes, colors of guns, and other cosmetic things. Additionally, there is so much color spray from enemy weapons and fireworks all over the place that makes it hard to see the enemies. Good things are - Shooting, instant ammo purchase from machines and the cars are easy to drive as in the previous games. This game is not a 10! Far from it. Borderlands 2 was much better.… Expand

    Borderlands 3 is a mixed bag for sure. While so much of the gameplay had been improved, it seems that everything else dropped the ball. While I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I personally plan to play much more, I do have to vent my grievances with this installment.

    The Good: Combat has been greatly improved, and I cannot stress it enough. They've added a large variety of enemies,    Borderlands 3 is a mixed bag for sure. While so much of the gameplay had been improved, it seems that everything else dropped the ball. While I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I personally plan to play much more, I do have to vent my grievances with this installment.

    The Good:

    Combat has been greatly improved, and I cannot stress it enough. They've added a large variety of enemies, especially the Maliwan troops, which have unique ways to change combat and each have their own special ways to deal with them. For example, there are these large flamethrower enemies that come in different elements, and they have an element pack on their back. If you kill the enemy by shooting their head, eventually their element pack will roll on the ground and explode damaging you. However, if you destroy the pack on their back while they are alive, it will instantly kill them and cause it to detonate much earlier.

    Weapons actually have weight to them now, and makes me imagine how great Borderlands 2 would have been with these shooting mechanics. On top of this movement feels much better, with the ability to ground slam, slide, and mantle. Although these aren't new ideas for first person shooters, it definitely is a welcome addition to Borderlands to cut down on how clunky the previous installments felt.

    Most weapons have also been given new identities. Assault rifles are actually good again, and many weapons have been given alternate fire modes that can be as simple a select fire or changing elements, to giving your weapon an extra barrel, or having tasers and under-barrel rockets. On top of this, the game is filled with new and returning legendaries that feel even more unique than the thousands of randomly generated weapons which you'll discover. Although I feel the game gives some of these legendaries away too easily, as main quest rewards, it doesn't really change much as Borderlands 2 had blue unique weapons that were vastly greater and worse than the legendary lineup. Due to the alternative fire modes of many weapons, some of the new legendaries are not just unique in comparison to the rest of the guns in this game, but in any looter-shooter that I've played.

    Character skill trees are varied, unique, and viable. Anyone who played Borderlands 2 after the level cap increases knows how many characters were forced into the most effective skill tree to kill any of the raid bosses, if they were viable at all. Axton was one of my favorite characters who struggled deeply in the late game due to so much of his power coming from kill skills which are difficult to trigger fighting raid bosses. They added skills or class mods that give players the chance of triggering kill skills while shooting bosses, which seems like a small change but can mean the world of a difference.

    The Bad:

    Dear god the story is horrendous. To be fair its not the worst story on paper, but it is told terrible. The two antagonist don't have much of a personality besides obnoxious teenagers, but even after big events happen they don't seem to react at all. They're static the entire time, and I don't expect them to live up to the behemoth that was Handsome Jack, I wish they would try to make the antagonist more than a generic baddie that you have to kill. The other issue I struggled with is that the charm and humor that the other games were known for felt off. I noticed a prevalence of poop jokes, and lack of serious characters to balance out how wacky everyone else acts. In Borderlands 2, you had Lilith, Roland, and Mordecai as your anchors to reality while Brick and Claptrap were trying to be funny. In Borderlands 3, it seems Lilith is the only character who consistently tries to keep the dialogue bearable. There are some good jokes, usually by Hammerlock or Wainwright, but they're only prevalent on the Eden-6 arc of the story. I can go back and replay Borderlands 2 and still laugh at the jokes because 90% of them still hit, but so many of Borderlands 3's jokes miss the mark. I really hope they tone down the silliness in the DLC's or the next installment.

    The other issue I had with the main game is that it felt just a little bit too easy. The most difficult boss in my experience is before the halfway point, and the final boss is a complete and utter joke. The Warrior wasn't the most difficult boss in gaming, but at least it was a spectacle. Borderlands 3's final boss feels like a throwaway boss you create for filler in the beginning. This also leads to my issue with bosses having invincible stages where you have to wait while they buff. It brings the combat to a holt while you wait for your battle to continue. Other bosses that have buff animations usually have damage mitigation while they buff, so that you still feel like you are doing something.

    The Verdict:

    If you enjoyed the gameplay of Borderlands 2, you're going to love Borderlands 3. Just don't expect a good story or good jokes    … Expand

Weird flickering from distant objects as everything seems to be too small with the horizontal split-screen. Gun physics are good, but the voice acting and dialogue especially is poor.… Expand

For starters, the main villains are evil youtubers who use the concept of "family" to unify the bandits. Yes you read that right, those same flesh hungry killers stand united thanks to some tween youtuber spouting how anyone who joins her is part of a family now. Every male character is either a complete moron, evil and a moron, weak, whiny, or gay. The playable characters are once again bossed around by everyone else, forced into being part of the Crimson Raiders (who are 99% wiped out), and are forced to listen to the worst character in the universe droll on about vehicles and hitting on you because apparently Scooter died in Tales from the Borderlands (Seriously, Ellie is garbage).

    It's been fun, which is why I give it a 5, but good god the story/characters need to just die.    … Expand

    From the view of a split screen coop player perspective, unfortunately the score would be a 1. It's a absolute chore to play with the tiny tiny words and the horizontal split screen. This has to be fixed or else there is really no way I can proceed on this game with my partner. And we have played all the previous borderlands...

The pre-sequel definitely had its moments, but the best thing about it was the new characters/playstyles, nothing more. Ended up just going back to Bl2 after one or two playthroughs.

    Now, I'm about halfway through BL3 and I have to say... getting similar vibes to the pre-sequel. You might argue that Im not fit to give a critique having not beat it, but right now... Im not sure I WILL beat it. Granted, they really improved on sound, added maybe a little more variety on weapons (though some of the new weapon sub-types are completely worthless) but overall, it feels very same-y.

    The sense of getting new and better loot consistently has kinda disappeared, and only seems to happen on occasion. It feels like there are way fewer sidequests and areas to discover, even if some might argue its the biggest of all the games. The story is pretty garbage (like always).

    To ME, the biggest problem is the new skill system. Each character has three trees as always, but from the few chars I've looked at, the trees dont always have a synergy between them. And some of the skills are just plain pointless. Ive been using the Siren so far, and Im currently deciding which of the second trees for me to choose is the least garbage.

    I could nitpick for a while, given my past love for the series, but in the end, I have to say its an OK addition, but one I would have probably waited for a sale if I was able to play a little beforehand.    … Expand

I feel like BL3 got a SJW infection, it's not in your face but it's there. The jokes are dated and cringey. Characters are killed off to make way for new characters which are more annoying than Claptrap. All of the men take a backseat while the game is dominated by women in leadership positions, reminds me of the Last Jedi. In a bad way. Unfortunately BL2 was lighting in a bottle.… Expand

Besides the tech-side I'm new to the franchise and playing it with my brother (who always loved the series) co-op (online not split-screen).
    From what I can say so far, the game is really fun:
    - loads of loot (drop-rate is decent compared to other games)
    - character personalities are trashy (but that's what it should I think) and you can feel that they have put in a lot of work
    - skill system is not too complicated
    - gun-handling and controls are fine as well
    - missions do vary at this point (but this might be a little too early to say)

    Considering other games of this genre, the best content might come in the endgame so I might change my opinion further playing. at this moment I would say it's a fun game but nothing overwhelming.    … Expand

    Factor in the graphical glitches, rampant texture pop-in and generally asthmatic performance levels, even when running on a PS4 Pro with settings optimised to favour smooth running, and there really is no end of reasons not to love Borderlands 3 (and don’t even think about Googling developers Gearbox Games’ litany of employee relations history)...And yet... love it, I do. Guilty as charged.
