    This game feels dated. If it was relesed 10-15 years ago, it would've been great. Today one should expect more from an AAA title. The thing that keeps it interesting now is the comedy writing. The humor is (and has always been) great, and I love that. The voice acting is top notch.

    What about the game itself? Lots of fun guns to keep the gameplay fresh. But, the problem is that the game    This game feels dated. If it was relesed 10-15 years ago, it would've been great.

    What about the game itself? Lots of fun guns to keep the gameplay fresh. But, the problem is that the game world feels lifeless and empty. The game is divided into small areas with loading between each zone (who even does this in 2021? This mechanic belongs to the PS2 era). Because of this, the map system is very frustrating, since you need to navigate to fast travel A LOT between the small areas.

    Kudos for implementing a 120hz mode, even though the game seem poorly optimized (The resolution drop is just not worth it). In 60fps mode, the game starts struggling when increasing the FOV (Default:75). Real fps probably between 45-50. I think with this kind of cel shaded cartoonish style, this game could've been ran much better on the XSX.

    This is one of those games that still works because of creative people behind it. But when you start playing you're constantly reminded that this game still feels stuck in the PS2/early PS3 era (except for the increased resolution in quality mode). Can only recommend if you're a huge Borderlands fan.

    I'd really dig this game if gearbox would've:
    - Created a seamless open world instead of small areas with loading between (That would fix the map frustrations as well)
    - Optimized the game better on consoles
    - Made the world more interesting, more NPCs, interactions, generally add stuff to make the world more life like.
    - Improved upon the driving of vehicles (feels archaic)    … Expand
