Battleborn Reviews
For a first attempt at an ever-saturating genre, Battleborn feels like it has carved its niche in a large crowd that is vying for supremacy. While the genre is dominated by League of Legends and DOTA, Battleborn has successfully broken through with its own take on the genre, added lots of fun characters, and a wonderfully bright colour palette
If you've ever wondered what the fuss of MOBAs are, or wanted a little more shooter in your battle arena, Battleborn is perfect for you. It is so different from the competitive shooters on the market at the minute. Once you get through the initial trail and error, you won't look back at all.
There just isn't a lot of variety. It's a problem a lot of these MOBA-inspired hero shooters are going to run into. Traditional MOBA fans are fine with a small smattering of maps to play on. But this is a first-person shooter with MOBA elements, and first-person shooter players love their maps and modes. I know I do.
Battleborn has plenty of ambition, but it just isn't particularly satisfying to play. It isn't broken, it's just the whole experience feels lightweight and derivative.
I sense there is an audience for Battleborn and hence I am reluctant to rule it out altogether.
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 is an important milestone for Gearbox Software, it’s a new IP and their first attempt at a competitive online shooter from the ground up. And to that effect Gearbox Software have completely knocked it out the park. It's a game best played with friends as there is little to nothing on offer in terms of a singleplayer experience.
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.
A varied playable roster isn't enough to salvage a lackluster campaign and clumsy combat
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.
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!

Ultimately, Battleborn left me with a lot of mixed feelings. I really disliked the cheap-ness of the Single Player campaign, whether it was some of the un-soloable missions, the repetition of the same bosses, or the very, very dumb final boss fight. However, with that said, it is more fun when you do have other players with you. So the moral here is, don't buy the game if you're planning on playing it by yourself.
There may be a good game buried under Gearbox Software's first attempt at a MOBA, but too many of its systems are developmentally in their infancy.
With issues peppering its campaign as well as its multiplayer, Battleborn's fusion of first-person shooter and MOBA is far from a complete success. A lengthy list of complaints comes perilously close to overshadowing proceedings, so it's fortunate that its engaging upgrade system and varied roster of characters end up being the true stars keeping you invested in the multiplayer.
Battleborn is inconsistent but still has an opportunity to shine
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.
In conclusion, Battleborn is a difficult game for me to review. The maps, especially the competitive ones, can feel uninspired, but the art style of the overall presentation is comically beautiful. The writer job is wonderful, as is Gearbox's norm, and the deep roster of 25 playable characters will only get bigger with future DLC.
When considering Battleborn as a full package, there's a lot there to sink your teeth into. It's unique blend of various game modes and various ways to play means you'll have a lot of fun experimenting in Battleborn, especially when it comes to the game's charming and humours characters. Battleborn will provide you with entertainment and a level of uniqueness that has become a rarity in AAA games. Unfortunately, it can't help but be felt that Battleborn falls just short of its potential and is held back by frustrating mission design, overly harsh difficulty and lack of multiplayer content.
Battleborn is like a one-man band—there's a whole lot going on, but the final product suffers due to spread resources. While lack of maps and missions may be resolved with DLC, the launch product comes off a bit shallow.
Balancing issues, niggling design problems, and a dearth of content keep Gearbox's new sci-fi shooter from being all it can be
