3/20/2023 0 Comments Borderlands 3 reviewI can't help but feel they missed the mark here. While the variety of settings is still quite nice, it serves to make each world feel less… alive. However, this is a bit of a disappointment in the end - rather than make each planet a diverse and interesting place, Gearbox has chosen to relegate one type of environment to each of the worlds Pandora is the desert world, there's a city world, a mountainous world, and a swamp world. In turning Sanctuary into a spaceship, you're finally given the option to explore new worlds. Though both the sequel and "pre-sequel" gave a much wider variety of environments, neither truly delivered on this hope. There are also a few surprisingly emotional reunions along the way, and of course, some absolutely unearned drama.Įver since the original game, there were hopes and rumors that the next game would give players the option to explore more planets in the wider Borderlands universe. The usual cavalcade of nutty characters are all present, and in a nice touch, the game even ties into the Tales From the Borderlands games to let us check in on what happened to those characters, although I can't help but feel that Gearbox didn't exactly follow their character development that well. As in previous games, the quality of the story varies wildly, and though I don't want to spoil too much about it, they lack the charm and motivation of Handsome Jack. Thus, a new set of four Vault Hunters are called into action by our old friend Lilith to try and stop them. Their actions have caused a cult to form, the Children of the Vault, and this new faction helps their de-facto leaders search for Vaults to open. In Borderlands 3, you'll be fighting against the Calypso Twins, a pair of jerks that have taken the bandit world by storm through livestreams of their jackassery. In Borderlands 3, Gearbox returns to the helm and has delivered a (mostly) successful sequel that improves the gameplay in meaningful ways while staying close to the formula that made the series a favorite among co-op enthusiasts. It’s been seven years since the last proper Borderlands game was released, though a prequel and an adventure game spinoff helped fill the gap.
