Borderlands 3 has been crafted from the ground up with fans of the series in mind. There is a mammoth amount of Easter Eggs and cameos from every single previous entry - even from Tales from the Borderlands ! The term love-letter to the fans is overused but it feels apt here.

Another Borderlands classic. The new action skill trees bring a welcome change to building your character. Playing four player with all characters can be a crazy experience with the explosions and skills going off everywhere you look. They’ve stepped up the guns again. Some people have complained of performance issues but mine has worked perfectly every time I’ve played. The antagonists aren’t as strong as Handsome Jack, but he was always going to be a hard act to follow. Thinking about buying this- Get it! In the immortal words of Claptrap: “The Vault Map is gone! Forever! It will never be found. Never, ever, ever! is what I'll say to everyone I know while I look for it.”

Sublime gameplay; Gorgeous visuals and sound; Meaty 30+ hour campaign;

Glitchy; Cringey humour; Lack of real immersion in the storyline;

Despite all these ifs and buts and caveats, we nevertheless loved our time with Borderlands 3. Stuffed with a host of quality of life improvements, the latest title should – current glitches and instability aside – be exactly what faithful Borderlands fans have been waiting for. If you're unfamiliar with the series' unique brand of poop jokes, however, or suspect you'd find it hard to overlook its less-than-sensitive approach to diversity and difference, it's unlikely you'll find life comfortable on Pandora.

Buy Borderlands 3 Borderlands hit the scene about 10 years ago, and it instantly resonated with people. The reductive description of the game would be Diablo with guns or Doom with loot, and they would be somewhat accurate in explaining why people liked both the original game and the sequel.

Borderlands was the first loot shooter to break into main stream gaming all the way back in 2009. At the time, it felt like "Diablo with Guns," at least

Developed by Gearbox Studios, the highly anticipated next step in the franchise which defined the very notion of looter shooters, Borderlands 3 is finally here and it kicks off with a bang.

Memorable Vault Hunters; Fun; Chaotic Gameplay; New RPG-Lite Elements; Returning Friendly Faces

Simple AI; Loot Is Too Random

I counted the number of guns I used over the course of the Borderlands 3 campaign. Seriously, I kept track with a tally counter and eve...

A faithful evolution of the Borderlands experience; Cathartic; compulsive combat; Content-rich campaign of exceptional variety

Irksome antagonists; Optimisation issues across PC and console

Though the humor frequently misses the mark, the much improved gunplay of Borderlands 3 and stupendously generous endgame easily wins out in the end, creating arguably the best entry in the series to date.

The biggest game of the year so far made very sure there were no console reviews before launch but what is Borderlands 3 hiding

The action is the best it's ever been, with some fantastic guns and gadgets and tons of content; Expanded customisation options and FL4K and Moze are great; Fun four-player co-op

Bland, overlong mission design and disappointing new planet environments; Not all vault hunters are created equal; Uninvolving storytelling and strained attempts at comedy
