    How is this one of the highest reviewed PS5 games? I created this account just to give this game a bad review because I absolutely loathe this game. I played 1 and 2 and have fond memories of them despite the obnoxious story. 3 offers absolutely nothing new after an entire generation of time to develop and is less fun to play than any previous entries despite doing nothing new.

I played 1 and 2 and have fond memories of them despite the obnoxious story. 3 offers absolutely nothing new after an entire generation of time to develop and is less fun to play than any previous entries despite doing nothing new. The story and obnoxious voice acting are more front-and-center than ever, and with none of the heart that at least made previous games' plots tolerable. On top of it all, the game is plagued with ludicrously priced DLC (ready to spend over $100 for your Borderlands fix?) Do not buy this game, do not support these developers. This is an unacceptable content farm byproduct that nobody with more than three brain cells should have to play.… Expand

    All bosses are buggy as hell. Nothing new from previous games. There is nothing to do after campaign. Broken and unbalanced point system, so they disabled every bonuses. Shooting is really strange and far way from first person shooter.

    The game doesn't upgrade to PS5 version.
    The issue seems random but widespread (look up the forums). This is unacceptable.

    It gets an average 3 because it's fun with friends (then again, that justification wears thin because literally anything can be fun in that case)

    The gameplay is roughly the same, the only difference you'll spot is the smoother frame rate compared to the others, which is entirely carried by PlayStation's hardware and not really gearbox's doing. The next point might be subjective, but    It gets an average 3 because it's fun with friends (then again, that justification wears thin because literally anything can be fun in that case)

    The gameplay is roughly the same, the only difference you'll spot is the smoother frame rate compared to the others, which is entirely carried by PlayStation's hardware and not really gearbox's doing.

    The next point might be subjective, but every playable character is pretty boring, they're all hard to like because of how cringe they are. Yes, previous playable characters were goofy, but it's especially jarring this time around.

    Can be very glitchy at times, but nothing you're not used to if you've played other borderlands Games.    … Expand

    Loved the first two, this ones trash. Horrible story, bad gameplay, and even worse graphics.

    The game is fun to play for the most part, the gunplay is satisfactory. BUT it starts to feel weird with the Mayhem mode.
    The characters are stupid and not charismatic, and the story feels forced and unnatural since it is serving a stupid political agenda that is forced fed to players these days.
    I LOVE borderlands series, but this one doesn't make it for me

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the worst of the borderlands series for replay ability, there are way too many forced jokes and agendas in it. Borderlands 1 and 2 were so much better and I hate that i wasted money preordering this and no i don't flat out hate the game i hate that gearbox and 2k are constantly characters and guns.
    Thats what makes it so loudy i don't know how this game. Has a score of 81 but it should b 50 or 60    … Expand

    Worst borderlands yet, jumping is trash game is trash, story is trash the whole function is trash scaling is trash. The team who wrote this should be taken out back and shot for worst in the franchise garbage questlines and not worth any money do not buy.

    The visuals and gameplay is the best its ever been in the Borderlands franchise, however the characters, story and writing is also at its worse...it's so jarring and cringey, that this will be the only Borderlands game that I've only completed one playthrough, cause I have no wish to slog through it again...

    If you’re expecting a great evolution to the series, you might be a little disappointed with what Borderlands 3 brings to the table. But if you’re happy to jump into more of the same, albeit on a greater scale, you’ll find a lot to love here. And on the new generation of consoles, Borderlands 3 shines better than ever. Playing at 60fps with up to 4K resolution really makes a world of difference; Borderlands 3 has never been more of a pleasure to shoot your way through.

    Borderlands 3 is a no-brainer for those who already own the game to experience what the PlayStation 5 is capable of. The Resolution Mode visually adds so much more and the Performance Mode gives players a chance to try out the 120hz mode on a compatible display. The story remains the same, but the DLC will add many more ways to play for users. The DualSense Controller with the PS5 is the true game changer here and it’s further bolstered by the 3D Audio. Gearbox no doubt took advantage of the new hardware to unleash the proper Borderlands 3.

    Make no doubt about it, this is the definitive way to play Borderlands 3. Whether you’re venturing into the Borderlands for the first time, or revisiting now that the technical issues are fixed, you’re in for a hell of a time.
