    Borderlands 3 Review - If it Ain't Broke...

    Borderlands 3 on Xbox One

    Borderlands 3 is one of the easier games I've had to evaluate for Twinfinite in my tenure here. I previewed it multiple times leading up to release and it felt like just more of the same FPS/RPG action that the series popularized last generation.

    To some people that might sound like a bad thing; but as a fan of the series and as someone that hasn't really touched any of my Borderlands save files for pretty much this entire generation of consoles (which is probably the case for lots of other people I imagine), more Borderlands is perfectly fine honestly.

    Borderlands 3 is a faithful, and (mostly) polished follow-up to Borderlands 2. It continues to play to its strengths and makes a few noticeable improvements.

    Borderlands 3 is the ultimate example of playing it safe and giving their core fans exactly what they want to see. I can certainly understand the desire to not fix what isn't broken. It's a valid strategy.

    The result though is a game that's very easy to recommend to anyone that hasn't played Borderlands in a while, and enjoyed Gearbox's previous efforts in the series, or just likes looter-shooters; and well, is simultaneously not easy to recommend to anyone that doesn't fit in that box.

    Score: 4/5 - Great

    Pros
    • Top of its class gunplay
    • Signature humor
    • Entertaining campaign and side missions
    • Insane amount of freedom for deep character building thanks to multitude of skill tree options and unique weapons
    Cons
    • Very frustrating technical issues
    • Doesn't build much on previous games despite the time gap
    • The grind may feel too repetitive for some
    Should You Buy Borderlands 3?

    Yes, it's an excellent looter-shooter that will satisfy all fans of the genre and series. The only people that might get disappointed are those that were still dumping tons of hours into Borderlands 2 recently as it feels very similar to previous games.
