"Every time Gearbox made me laugh or grin, I would catch myself wishing for more of that authenticity"

"Sixteen years in, this is Gearbox’s cel-shaded shooter series at its best. From a well-calibrated tone, still-satisfying guns, best-in-class traversal, and an inviting open world, Borderlands 4 answers the question I asked when it was announced. How much can the …"

"Borderlands 4 doesn&s;t reinvent the Vault-it just rebuilds it stronger. The writing occasionally misfires, and the performance hitches are unacceptable in a AAA series like this. Still, the moment-to-moment thrill of firing absurdly designed weapons at even more absurd enemies …"

"It’s simultaneously a poster child for excess and restraint, which sounds paradoxical, but for a series named for existing on the border of seemingly opposed concepts, it feels right at home."

"I really like Borderlands 4. I like it on the story front, gameplay front, mechanical front, and just all of it really. I have every intention of coming back to it and replaying it with the DLC characters in later …"

"The sheer diversity of characters, gear, and ways to have fun is never-ending, and the open-world format is a surprisingly welcome addition to this amazing co-op FPS. Borderlands 4 is a leap in the right direction, and I can only …"

"Borderlands 4 has managed to overcome its own identity crisis and deliver a predictable but undeniably rich experience."

"Borderlands 4 could have been great. Its storyline and gameplay are the strongest they’ve ever been, but it&s;s plagued by performance issues, missing features, and outdated UI&s;s that almost drag it down to the murky depths of its predecessor."

"Borderlands 4 is a great RPG shooter with rewarding, engrossing gameplay. Some of the set dressing, like the bland new characters and pointless grappling hook, take the shine off, but the sheer amount of fun we&s;ve had with the game …"

"To its detriment, Borderlands 4 feels like a direct response to Borderlands 3."

"Playing Borderlands 4 can be a bit of a rollercoaster. Often, it&s;s a shot of unadulterated chaos: a gleefully gory cavalcade of bullets and bloo..."

"Borderlands 4 brings a more sensible script and a true open world to its pseudo-cel-shaded gun-show. But these moderate improvements are undermined by frustrating exploration and combat that takes too long to properly shine."

"Borderlands 4 is the best the series has been in decades and a testament to Gearbox’s ability to absolutely cook. Are you ready to taste the chaos?"

"Borderlands 4 is an incredibly fun game with a couple of flaws. The world of Kairos is beautiful to play through and there&s;s no shortage of challenges to dive into. While the Unreal Engine still has some issues, the stuttering …"
