Borderlands 4 Reviews
Borderlands 4 sticks to the formula that made the series famous: frantic gunfights, dark humor, and a creative arsenal. Although it retains its classic gameplay and doesn't innovate much, the skill progression and combat remain highly satisfying.

Borderlands 4 isn't content to simply replicate the formula of its predecessors, but attempts to expand it, enrich it, and make it more modern, dynamic, and playful, presenting itself to fans as the most ambitious and complete* chapter in the saga.

orderlands is a beloved, storied franchise in gaming. And Borderlands 4 is a welcome return to the silliness and chaos that made it so enjoyable in the first place. With the backdrop of an outstanding new setting in Kairos, and by refining the storytelling, honing in on player abilities, and expanding builds and loot in smart ways, Borderlands 4 is likely my favorite Borderlands yet.
Gearbox has found an excellent balance between the typical Borderlands-style humor and a more serious narrative approach. Apart from that, Borderlands 4 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does improve on the now 16-year-old formula with more movement options and a largely open-world experience. Unfortunately, when it comes to performance, it still sticks to familiar shortcomings and has yet to fully tap into the potential of Unreal Engine 5. Nevertheless, we once again had a lot of fun looting and are still motivated to keep playing even after finishing our review.

The new Vault Hunters make combat more dynamic than ever, even if their personalities disappoint. It may not be the definitive Borderlands experience, but it proves the franchise still has plenty of firepower left.
Borderlands 4 is an amped-up version of the tried-and-true formula with hefty upgrades to the gameplay. With an action-packed story and a whole new planet packed with possibilities, Borderlands 4 is a wild and wicked time worth experiencing.
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 preserves the series’ most essential DNA while delivering meaningful innovation. Although its open-world structure is not yet fully refined and shows some rough edges, the game remains immensely enjoyable and unmistakably Borderlands

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.
Borderlands 4 is a masterpiece
