Looter shooter concept still satisfies, Cool, easy to grasp new Vault Hunters, Action is faster and more fun than ever, More visual variety than past games, Dramatic, blockbuster story, A mountain of content
Level design is often linear to a fault, Navigating planets is often frustrating, Missions can be repetitive, Lack of polish
Borderlands 3 is another bountiful, bullet-filled buffet for fans. Hunting for that perfect gun is still addictive and the minute-to-minute action is better than ever, but flat writing, sometimes-frustrating level design, and a lack of polish limits the g...
Borderlands 3 is more Borderlands and not much else. It doesn't innovate. It doesn't push the looter shooter genre forward. It doesn't say anything profound with its plot. It plays it 100% safe by nearly copying its predecessors. That might be enough for...

Glorious combat that's a marked improvement over 2, A large amount of content, Beautiful visuals, New Vault Hunters are entertaining,
Emotionally distant - Borderlands never knows how to read the room, Villains aren't as intriguing as Handsome Jack, Lots of glorious bugs,

The story acts as a satisfying conclusion to Borderlands' 10-year journey, Distinct settings encourage different playstyles with unique enemies and environments, Zane, Amara, Moze, and FL4K offer a welcome variety in playstyle with their skill trees, Emph
Bullet-sponge bosses can create a drag in the otherwise fun combat, Though Tyreen is fairly well-written, the Calypsos just aren't compelling villains overall
