At the end of the day, we're just blasting our way through the same old missions, of course, but that's still a lot of fun overall and, thanks to the online game world and the co-op mode, should keep you motivated for a few weeks. In that sense: "Borderlands" remains "Borderlands," regardless of the number behind it.

Borderlands 4 is back in great form thanks to its exceptional customization, dynamic open world, and reinvented boss battles. Gearbox Software clearly listened to its community, addressing past critiques with a sprawling, interactive map, expansive skill trees, and guns that feel genuinely unique.

Borderlands 4 was the “make-it or break-it” moment for Gearbox that would determine the fate of the franchise going forward. Despite not having the greatest faith going in, I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun I had playing it. The colorful cast of characters, combined with the great writing, made me laugh, sigh with relief, and gasp at the choices that I made. While the collectibles are overbearing, the combat and build-crafting in this game went well above my expectations, giving players more than they could ever want when it comes to the fast-paced looter shooter grind.

Borderlands 4 is designed thoroughly with fun in mind. It doesn't play like a greatest hits compilation of what has come before, but rather as an evolution of the series.
