    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Juego muy gracioso, un shooter bueno y entretenido con un lenguaje muy cachondo.

    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.

    This is a very fun first person shooter, this game supports Stadia's exclusive "Crowd Play" feature on Youtube, which allows content creators to play with their audience with one click

    Best game ever made. I find myself coming back to this game because it is so colorful, hilarious and challenging. Would recommend.

    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.

    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.
