    Sadly the frame drop is too harsh and often, making the game unplayable. I do not know how it is in the other platforms, so maybe not a stadia thing

    Let's get a few things out of the way first. Yes, Borderlands is one of the only titles on Stadia to suffer from a persistent issue of frame rate drops at times and jag. But, that can be corrected (at least in my experience) by setting the stream to 1080p instead of 4K. I would remiss if I didn't mention that for me those issues only occurred during the main screen loading cycle and when ILet's get a few things out of the way first.

But, that can be corrected (at least in my experience) by setting the stream to 1080p instead of 4K. I would remiss if I didn't mention that for me those issues only occurred during the main screen loading cycle and when I was surrounded by far too many enemies (not often). So I didn't find it an experience that ruined the game for me. That being said, let's move on.

    This iteration of Borderlands brings back characters that we've all grown to enjoy and maintains the shoot-em-up, loot-it-all, gameplay that we want but it misses the mark on the overall story that I felt was better in 1 and 2. The game is long which means you get a lot of bang for your buck and the DLCs provide additional hours of gameplay. I'm at 180+ hours right now having cleared everything except for the most recent Director's Cut (I think that's what it's called, or maybe it's the Season 2 content).

    Would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoyed Borderlands before. You know what you're getting and it's glorious.    … Expand

    It is a good game but it has numerous performance problems.
    They should fix stuttering problems.

    Borderlands 3 isn't as resonant as previous title entries, relying too much on the humour of yester-year the writing is by far the weakest part of the game (although if your humour hasn't changed in the past 7 years amend this score to 10).

A key highlight is the art-style has been really refined over the development period wrapping you up in the Borderlands Cel-Shaded charm.
    Performance is a fairly solid 60FPS @ 1080p and 30 @ 4K.    … Expand

    Still wishing cross-play and cross-save comes along. Couch co-op would be icing on the cake. ...would make it a 10 for me!

    Il gioco è davvero eccellente in tutto però su Stadia non gira bene tra cali di frame qua e là e diversi bachi importanti che col senno di poi si fanno sentire. Non lo sconsiglio del tutto in quanto resta giocabile ma con qualche difficoltà

    While Borderlands 3 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it doesn’t have to. Everything that made previous games fun to play is here and with some tweaks to boot.

    It's not Borderlands 2 but it's more Borderlands, so what more could you want. There have historically been some performance issues with this game, a lot of those have been fixed more recently. Would score higher if more improvements were implemented.

    What a game! It has humor, nice movement and great little stories. Sometimes it can have some stutter or problems on stadia. Although i do not have it every time, the times i do have it it is very anoying. If it didnt had it stutter once and a while it would be a 7 or 8

    Borderlands 3 is a fun game on Stadia that is hampered mostly by it's performance. When first launched, the games would have constant freezes that it had only gotten better the longer you played. It's most recent update as of a month or two ago seen to fix some of the freezes, but it's still there and can still damper your enjoyment of a play session.

    The story isn't the selling point of this game, and honestly pains me to know that you have to go through campaign more than once to really get to the content.

    The content after the main campaign is honestly the best part of this game. The dlc that can be their own stand alone games if they wanted. The guns that have many different variables of play to them. The four classes that are easily distinguishable to each other. (Love you Fl4k!) these are the parts of the game that truly makes it enjoyable, but until they truly fix the performance, I'll keep my rating as it is.    … Expand

    Fun shoot and loot game that doesn't quite live up to it's little brother Borderlands 2. Great game for blowing off steam. Easy to get into and dropping in and out of the story is quick.

    Cool game, but not the best port. Feels a little choppy at times. Really a shame since it gives good vibes. Still playable though!

    The good continuation of a great series. Gameplay with significant improvements compared to its predecessor. Storry and antagonists do not come close to part 2. Runs on Stadia Okay.

    Great gunplay though the story doesn’t add up to BL2. Nonetheless, I’ve put a lot of time into this game and keep coming back to it on stadia. It’s my go to! It keeps me entertained on many levels. Grinding, play, story, it’s good for me!

    As a big borderlands fans. This game convinced me to try stadia. And it runs really well for me. In over 200 hours, maybe 2 times that the game started stuttering. But to be honest I have seen other people complaining that it happened more often for them.

    I tried Borderlands 2 on Xbox, back in the day, and never really got into it (oh god, those massive downloads and frequent updates...ugh) but when B3 landed on Stadia on a free weekend (with deep discount to purchase), I thought I'd better give it a try and ended up buying it. The humor is what keeps me entertained, with over-the-top weapons and ridiculous, comic violence. So good.

    Le doy un 8 porque el juego es muy adictivo, pero el port a Stadia es un poco incómodo en algunos momentos ya que da pequeños tirones al cargar zonas nuevas. Por lo demás es genial, un lenguaje macarra, una jugabilidad muy buena, personajes carismáticos. Si te gustan los shooters es uno de los que hay que tener sí o sí. Además puedes sacarlo bien de precio si está de oferta.

    Borderlands 3 is brilliantly fun, good value for hundreds of hours playtime with plenty of DLC available following the very entertaining story (fun to play solo and as a squad!). Reason for 7/10 is the widely reported stutter particularly when running in 4k for certain areas of the map, 2k have continually failed to patch this.

    Borderlands is pretty great. Overall though I felt the story doesn't suck me in very well. I've played hundreds of hours but still don't really know what the main overarching story is.

    DLC is great. I'm not a fan of the way your space ship is used as a hub. Makes it a bit confusing to play the game linearly. Art style is great, gun play probably some of the best, and most unique.    Borderlands is pretty great. Overall though I felt the story doesn't suck me in very well.

    It's a looter shooter very well designed. Fun story and somewhat forgiving, which is good for jumping in anytime. Definitely worth the time, as it doesn't make you work for it as much as Destiny 2 does.

    Good stadia experience. Game is frustrating in parts due to the size of the maps and the amount of times you need to complete fetch quests. Story is good.
    Music is ok. Some of the voice acting is irritating beyond belief.
