Battleborn Reviews
There is no doubt that at its best Battleborn is a very fun game. It is a colourful delight and the visuals really pop amongst the chaos of flashing lights, explosions, and movement. The characters are all quite memorable and well designed, with humorous charismatic touches to their personalities. Not to mention it is a fine shooter in its own right. The disappointment is that a lot of the experience lacks a certain polish that would have really taken it to the next level.
While not deep in story, Battleborn leverages the development team's strength to create a fun roster worth experimenting with in the wide open online arenas. This isn't a new Borderlands, but it doesn't have to be to feel like a success.
Gearbox Software's latest game is a hilarious good time, but still has a few flaws.
بتلبورن بی شک بازی بدی نیست، در زمان تجربه شما را آزار نمی دهد اما از سوی دیگر شما را تشویق به این نیز نمی کند که به عنوان یک گزینه دائم نگاهش کنید! تمرکز بازی بر روی بخش چندنفره بوده اما همانطور که گفته شد تجربه این بخش فاقد قدرت و انسجام لازم است و در روزهایی که شاهد عرضه عناوین پرتعداد و البته شوترهای بزرگی نظیر Doom هستیم و بازی مانند Overwatch نیز در پیش است، بدون شک تجربه بتلبورن برای شما نباید گزینه مهمی باشد مگر آنکه مثل من از عشاق سری بازی بوردرلندز بوده باشید!

Battleborn resembles a game designed by a committee, there a so many characteristics of multiple genres that it's difficult to sum up what exactly it wants to be. Aside from its charming presentation and humorous characters, it all feels a little shallow, offering snippets of things we've seen hundreds of times before.
Battleborn is too flashy for its own good
Battleborn does have its hiccups with required online connectivity, dialogue and some odd character choices. But the positive far outweighs the negative, with exciting gameplay, fun multiplayer components for both local and online play, and fantastic level design.
If you have the option, don't play this game alone. That's a great way to dislike Battleborn. There is no real loot to collect, and the story is threadbare. It's about having fun with friends and strangers, and if that does not appeal to you, then this game is not likely to please.
There's certainly a fair bit here for some to like, particularly for those of you who want a MOBA that's less of a long-term commitment, and a heck of a lot of content to get your teeth into, but Battleborn's development-by-focus-group leaves it feeling a little bland, despite its brash stylings and Borderlands-esque attitude.
Although certainly not without its flaws, Battleborn is a solid foundation for Gearbox to build upon in the upcoming months. There's the feeling of a distinct lack of modes and variation in the mission structure. Adding enhancements to your character is a fun exercise and allows for a lot of experimentation, even if it can be a little hard to focus on during the heat of battle and the mixture of genres works surprisingly well, for the most part.
Battleborn ended up stretching itself too thin by trying to include too many modes. If Gearbox had focused on the competitive aspect of the game only, I'm sure Battleborn would've ended up being much better. The campaign adds nothing of value to the game but the multiplayer modes are worth playing if you can get a team together. It's a shame solo players have been completely ignored by Gearbox, otherwise Battleborn may have been worth recommending to people.
All in all, Battleborn is definitely a title I can get behind with its unique first person shooter approach, awesome cast of characters, gobs of weapons and power ups, and a hilarious framework to tie it all together. The game will take some getting used to and will force a few seasoned vets to step outside their comfort zone to enjoy the genus wonders that lie within. The hefty price tag may come with some initial sticker shock, especially after first firing it up, but those feeling will soon fade as you dedicate some time to Gearbox's latest work by mowing down hordes of enemies and laughing hysterically in the process.
Battleborn isn't quite the innovative blend of MOBA and first-person shooter that it could have been, but that does not stop the game from delivering fun with a group of friends or random people online.
Battleborn has done what I would have previously thought was impossible: it has kept me interested in its multiplayer.
Battleborn feels like it's squandered the majority of its potential with its execution. If enough polish is applied and the objectives made less punishing, it could warrant investment for the PvP. But the limited number of PvP maps, lack of unique missions and shabby story are still severe negatives.
And even with a number of problems, it's still a lot of fun to play.
Battleborn left me feeling like it was not bad or good, it just is, and that's not a good thing.
A surprisingly complicated shooter that could prove worthwhile for those who invest the time.
Summary : Battleborn is a solid title that deserves to be kept an eye on. It's a fast and action packed shooter with a humourous vibe in it. It has some flaws that prevent it from reaching even higher peaks but nothing that few content patches can't fix.
A promising work in progress
