Critic Reviews for Borderlands 4
Gearbox Software takes a 'back to basics' approach with Borderlands 4 that ends up being exactly what the series needed.
Borderlands 4 gives the series the massive kick in the pants it has needed, with a fantastic open world and greatly improved combat, even bugs and invisible walls can sometimes throw off that groove.
Even a terrible UI and choppy performance didn't spoil several dozen hours of numbers-go-up bliss.
Every time Gearbox made me laugh or grin, I would catch myself wishing for more of that authenticity
To its detriment, Borderlands 4 feels like a direct response to Borderlands 3.
Does Borderlands 4 rise to the occasion and do the beloved franchise justice or is this just another Borderlands 2 wannabe?
The sheer diversity of characters, gear, and ways to have fun is never-ending, and the open-world format is a surprisingly welcome addition to this amazing co-op FPS. Borderlands 4 is a leap in the right direction, and I can only hope that this trend continues upwards for the rest of the franchise.
Borderlands 4 establishes itself as a well-rounded entry that offers updated and tremendously fun gameplay. A lackluster campaign and a somewhat generic open world prevent it from reaching its full potential, but this is a looter shooter capable of standing alongside the best in the genre.
