Borderlands 3 Reviews
Borderlands 3 is an OK game. The shooting and the looting is mostly good with just a few niggles here and there. It could have been a good game, possibly even a great game, but is held back by a truly abysmal story.
Borderlands 3 may be a buggy game with performance issues and a disappointing story, but its fun factor is impossible to deny.
The humour is even more annoying, the guns even more amazing and Gearbox's shooter is more divisive than it's ever been.
An endless font of bad jokes and cool guns in the series' most vapid story yet, Borderlands 3 skates by on watching numbers fly and goons explode.
Borderlands 3 sticks to its guns and outdoes itself with an amazing arsenal of weapons, humor, and missions.
Borderlands 3 is a fan-servicing treat of a Borderlands game, albeit one somewhat soured by technical issues and lacklustre villains.
Borderlands 3 is a love letter to its fans and a celebration of the style of play it first popularized. Filled with characters from previous installments, and unapologetic in its silly humor and bombastic action, it’s an amusing ride that seems hesitant to innovate.
Borderlands 3 fumbles with its bosses, but the game ultimately continues its predecessors' tradition of fun, mayhem-filled looting and shooting.
Borderlands 3, if it works well at launch, is a competent game that feels like a passable continuation of the franchise instead of an evolution. It’s the same general idea with new vault hunters, but with little of the joy and danger that I fell in love with in earlier entries.
Like junk food, Borderlands 3 is an exercise in cheap hedonism. It’s not meant to take the place of a meal, but it still warrants criticism for being what it is, what it’s always been: a compulsively playable shooter with some good ideas and also some frustratingly retrograde attitudes. There’s enough good here to understand why you’d keep it around, but also enough troubling aspects that you could justify cutting it from your life entirely. But, even then, if you came across it at a house party, you’d probably take a bite.
Despite the fact Borderlands 3 seemingly wants me to hate it, I really, really like it. Like, a lot.
Borderlands 3 is a no-brainer for those who already own the game to experience what the PlayStation 5 is capable of.
The phrase, "doesn't do anything particularly new," is apt to describe Borderlands 3.
While the game itself isn’t the most stellar company, there’s no denying why it, like its predecessors, will be incredibly successful – because it provides a superb environment for hanging out with your pals.
If you enjoy lootin’-and-shootin’, check out Borderlands 3. But go in knowing that you’re going to cringe at some of the jokes and feel fatigue every now and then
Borderlands 3 doesn't add much to previous iterations, but is a still a smart, almost rhythmic shooter with superb movement, deep RPG systems and more guns that you can shake a stick at. You might need to mute the dialogue though.
Best enjoyed at a breezy remove, Borderlands 3 provides a punchy shooting experience, a massive open world, and some eye-rolling, adolescent humour.
Borderlands 3 could potentially be the best shooter of this year with so many varieties in guns and boss fights with a good looting system, it's only hindered by its bad story and annoying main villains.

Borderlands 3 comes with great growth in gameplay, but a safe story that had the opportunity for so much more.
