Borderlands 3 is a first-person looter shooter set seven years after the events of Borderlands 2. Players select one of four new Vault Hunters and travel across multiple planets to stop Troy and Tyreen Calypso, twin cult leaders seeking to harness the power of alien Vaults scattered throughout the galaxy. The game features procedurally generated weapons, cooperative multiplayer for up to four players, expanded skill trees with multiple action skills per character, and new traversal mechanics including sliding and mantling.
Borderlands 3 is a no-brainer for those who already own the game to experience what the PlayStation 5 is capable of.
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 isn't a huge step forward, but its ridiculous brand of mayhem confidently expands on the distinctive strengths of the series.
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.
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.
