Review co-written by Kosta Andreadis and Adrian Haas. Taken at face value Borderlands 3 is fun and a welcome return to the co-op action-RPG shooting of the series' roots. Wonderful guns, explosive screen-filling action, and a colourful palette of locales and enemies that continues to push the...

I'm a huge Borderlands fanboy and after enjoying the story and doing multiple grinds for rare weapons it's a must have, the story is fantastic just like all of them have, the side quests are fun! and my siren is ready for the future!

Game is rubbish now they have made the screen horizontal making it so your pop ups go onto the other person's screen while in play mode icons so small even on a 55 inch tv so you cannot read them capped it up into something that's nothing like the other 2 this was my favourite game not any more

It might not be it in the grand scheme of things, but seven years feels like a very long time. To think, it was seven years ago when a surprising number of people seemingly believed a Mayan prophesy might end us all or that Cern's large hadron collider might open a black hole under everyone's feet.

Having spent so much time with Borderlands 3, we can safely say that it is a blast from beginning to end. Yes, some of it can feel like a grind, with waves of similar-acting enemies around many corners, but pick up a new gun and combat feels fresh again.

Excellent story; Funny; Billions of crazy weapons to find; All loot in the game is free; Combat is tight; Co-op balancing is brilliant

Can feel like a grind at times; Some of the comedy doesn't quite hit the mark

Borderlands is all about guns, poop, and dick jokes, and you can look forward to a ton of all three of those things in Borderlands 3 . Where many series seek to innovate, Borderlands 3 delivers more of the same for better or worse.

Gameplay feels great; New secondary function on weapons adds a lot to gear versatility; Secondary characters are fun

Inventory system is atrocious; Tags

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.

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

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

A franchise unwilling to innovate is no bad thing - Borderlands 3 is a rollicking good time which offers plenty of content and surprising depth.

New locations to visit; Incredible arsenal of weapons; Surprisingly varied endgame; Deep RPG systems;

Not all that funny; Poor vehicle combat

Literally love this series so much, such a great aesthetic and challenge! Highly recommend all of them if you’ve never played.

Another great addition to an already awesome franchise. Can't speak highly enough of this game. Some questionable patches since release but I cannot otherwise fault the gameplay. Hours of fun, laughter, excitement and never ending amounts of loot!
