"Although it can feel slow-going at times, Borderlands 3: Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck benefits from its lore-heavy framework and a clear focus on one major character. If Gearbox has anything to say about it, this isn&s;t the end …"

"Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck is unfortunately more a fustercluck than it is fantastic."

"Despite once again proving that the DLCs for Borderlands 2 were considerably better than those for B3, Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck is an excellent addition to close the season of downloadable content for B3 and its best expansion …"

"In the end the expansion offers more loot, more adventures, and a few hours of diversion; but for me was the least engaging and interesting of the four DLC offerings for the game."

"What makes Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck difficult to review is, the core game is obviously fantastic and the dialogue makes it fun, yet it really isn&s;t that impressive of an expansion. Familiar locations and expected storytelling take away …"

"While it&s;s one of the better stories in the franchise, the terrible mission design hobbles the DLC. This is not the DLC Borderlands 3 deserved to go out on."

"Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck had a lot going for it based on its premise, but retreaded enemies and mostly underwhelming locations let down an otherwise fun expansion."

"The DLC&s;s expansion on Borderlands&s; lore and storytelling is arguably noteworthy and shouldn&s;t be dismissed. I&s;d say it&s;s a chief reason to fork over money for this new addition."

"Fustercluck doesn&s;t add anything that feels super new, it at least offers up an incredibly Borderlands-y expansion filled with meat chunks and silly weapons - and it&s;s the only game this year that&s;ll let you shoot down the actual moon, …"

"“Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck” was by far a fun DLC. It brought back a few Borderlands 2 characters, including the “meat bicycle” man himself, Krieg, and the humor was nonstop. Gearbox has a wonderful talent for developing characterization …"

"Borderlands 3: Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck is a bizarre odyssey through Kreig&s;s cranium that holds one great boss battle but few other surprises."
