    Better and improved version of previous BL games in every aspect.

    Playable character feel very unique, and versatile, story is great and every gun feels awesome.

    Es increíble poder jugar este juego a 60 FPS y 4K. Una mejora palpable en comparación con la versión de PS4 / XboxOne.

    Great next gen game. Graphics are really beatiful. I was sceptic about graphic but I was wrong...

    Haven't really played Borderlands games in the past. Didn't think I'd like it for some reason, maybe because I'm not usually a fan of the cell-shaded aesthetic. Boy was I wrong. Brilliant and insanely addictive. Fantastic graphics, great gameplay and a brilliant soundtrack.

    I’m using lg oled and this game looks great in 120hz. Also, missions are fun and in sp it is really interesting. Still haven’t tried mp, but technically it is great to see 120hz being implemented.

    Is this Borderlands or what!? :)

    I'm so glad i waited for the PS5 version before picking this one up. I already read that the biggest complaint at the time was bugs bugs bugs, so I new I had to wait. Even still, I still didn't expect much of the game since I knew the main story writer of BL left the company and BL 2.5 was sooo dissapointing. Now I can say, I'm positively impressed.

    Now I can say, I'm positively impressed.
    Pros:
    - Really neat PS5 upgrade, finally some humane loading times coming along with it as well :P
    - Great guns, sooo much variety, it's insane, It feels like every gun is unique. Very very nice....yess
    - Good level design, big, funn and much variation.
    - Awesome humor, maybe even better than BL2 at some times
    - Impressed with the audio
    - Fun characters to play
    - 12 dollar for a full game (ok DLC's seem to be expensive, havent got there yet)

    Cons:
    - Story is ok-ish, I didnt care much about the characters, but the humor kept it interesting
    - There's not much "new" going on, it felt like a finetuned BL2.. which isn't necesarily bad because BL2 was awesome.
    - Same AI, you can still run past everything and kill the boss
    - Vehicles are mehhh.. only the fast one feels cool.

    I'm having a lot of fun messing around with friends in this game.
    Thanks for that Gearbox, keep it up    … Expand

    Borderlands 3, much like its predecessors, is balls-to-the-wall fun from start to finish. While it does feel a bit like that fun doesn't quite last as long as you want to, I would call it "pure, punctuated fun" - few games will give you a more enjoyable 30-50 hours of fun.

While it does feel a bit like that fun doesn't quite last as long as you want to, I would call it "pure, punctuated fun" - few games will give you a more enjoyable 30-50 hours of fun.

    The stumbling blocks of this game really lie in the new characters it introduces. While you do run into familiar faces from throughout all the games in the series (whom are almost as fun and hilarious as they were in the prior games they appeared in), the new characters fail to impress at best, and are unbearable to be around at worst. One particular character (who apparently was in a prior Borderlands game I hadn't played) was utterly and unintentionally intolerable, yet my character insisted that they were chums by the end of the game - this left me irate.

    Despite its weaker new characters, the portrayal of the old ones is, overall, serviceable at worst. And furthermore, the moment-to-moment gameplay is a ton of fun - the mechanics of shooting felt entirely natural and accessible, and the game presented me with several challenging situations, especially in the endgame. While it sometimes felt a little like the reasons why I died weren't always clear (i.e. being killed so quickly that I didn't see what had hit me), the challenge generally felt reasonable, and the main draw of the game - guns, guns and more guns - was extremely enticing. It also felt like the loot system was infinitely more balanced than in prior games, and like I could actually reach a satisfying endpoint where I felt powerful, and not always wanting for better and better equipment.

    If you enjoyed the first two games, you'll love BL3. While its story doesn't match up to that of BL2, and the game is a bit more streamlined than either of the first two games, BL3 is an utterly fantastic bonanza full of slaughter and laughter.    … Expand

    I really had a good time with my friends playing through the entire story and DLCs. One of the best coop-experiences in my entire life. I had some instances of technical issues, bugs and disconnects that were very annoying when they occurred, hence not a 9.

    Со мной могут не согласится и тем, не менее!
    Лучший лут шутер, в который я играл за долгое время достоин оценки 10/10.
    Играл в: Destiny, Warframe, Anthem, Diivision и вторую часть этой серии,но не до играл до конца, стало скучно. Просадок для PS5 не заметил, качество картинки стало лучше, одна из не многих игр для next gen, которая дает обещанное 60FPS и 4к! Плюсы: + Пушек много и все    Со мной могут не согласится и тем, не менее!

    Просадок для PS5 не заметил, качество картинки стало лучше, одна из не многих игр для next gen, которая дает обещанное 60FPS и 4к!
    Плюсы:
    + Пушек много и все чувствуются очень хорошо, по эмоциям и количеству ярче и круче пред.частей и других игр;
    + Огромные карты и простор для исследований;
    + Богатый выбор развития персонажа (ветка талантов) и не плохой выбор в целом персонажей;
    + Динамика боев, за счет паркура и подкатов, выше стала и подкаты интересней чем в Destiny.
    + Игра в CO-OP! Мой друг 5, я 50 и при этом что я, что он получаем удовольствие от игры, получая вызов и FUN от совместной игры, а не так что он скучает пока я все уничтожаю у него и где он постоянно падает, играя у меня.

    Минусы субъективны и от меня все же:
    - За счет огромных карт, проседает порой динамика стрельбы, ибо на противников надо еще наткнуться.
    - Моуз как перснаж, проседает в сравнению с другими, потому что анимация та же раз за разом (садится в меху), меняется только оружие, в отличие от других, где ты видишь разную анимацию.    … Expand

    Demasiadas secundarias de recadero con el mero objetivo de farmear y subir el nivel.

    love this game. invested almost 10 days of gameplay over two characters and I love it. The story leaves a lot to be desired but the gameplay and familiar characters make up for it. DLC like 'Bounty of Blood' is amazing. BL3 on next-gen consoles looks great and plays great.

    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.
