    This game is incredible. They have done an awesome job with the third installment in the series. More gun? Yes! Better graphics? Heck yes! That being said, don't let the graphics (cell shade) fool you. It may look cartoony, but that could not be farther from the truth! This game is incredibly violent. Parents beware. I myself being a parent; I only play this game when my young-ling is in bed. Enjoy.

    Use play Borderlands 1 all the time and then when 2 came out sort of got tired of the experience. After many years without Borderlands this installment put a breathe of fresh air into the series, really doing a fantastic job across the experience. From the weapons to the world to the gameplay as a whole I have been so far enjoying the game that has been produced.

    It's a good game pretty fun but not as good as Borderland 2. Much better than the presequel however. I would play it on the Series X or PS5 instead though. But you cant go wrong with it really.

    I have the game on PC and XBox One. Got the Xbox One copy so I could play with my newphew, and not deal with my ancient PC when I'm not playing with a friend. The graphics are great, the story is fun, and the characters are excellent. Cl4p is stupidly funny and has me smiling anytime I interact with him. A must have game for any FPS players collection.

    If you've played BL at all you know what to expect here - and Gearbox has deliberately NOT tweaked their formula - same zany characters, some eye-rolling jokes, same insane weaponry. New characters are a blast, old favorites return in new and unusual ways. Technically though, I'm a bit disappointed; graphically it actually looks a touch worse to me than BL: Pre-Sequel or even BL2. Split screen is nice on the OneS but the game actually freezes at points for a few seconds when I play with my son, and it ain't like the game is visually demanding to begin with. I'm sure some post-launch patches will come out like they always do, but...disappointing nonetheless. Game supports HDR but for whatever reason doesn't pop to it automatically like when I queue up AC: Odyssey. Again, if you're a fan of BL it's a no-brainer. If you're new to the series you won't feel too out of the loop. Standing by for technical upgrades via software patches.

    Great game, lots of action, we bought it mainly because we wanted to play split screen, it's not Great when you play split screen because game crashes sometimes, especially on Series X Xbox, but lately it's better now probably because of 2k update or reinstalling 1 account which was crashing with. Fun game overall

    The game was decent but I got it for a great price. The gameplay is really good, (probably the best for a Borderlands game), but the story is awful (even for Borderlands) and the villains are over the top in a way that's not really fun. Overall it's an enjoyable experience because Borderlands has never been about a great plot and the gunplay is strong, but it could have been a lot better.

    This game is very enjoyable. Graphics are good and it plays very smooth. The only downside is the villains are corny. I can forgive that though considering it's tough to replace Handsome Jack. These games are especially fun in co-op. I'd definitely recommend if you like fast paced loot n shooters with a bunch of comedy.

    Wasn’t bad but wasn’t mind blowing. Story is pretty bad and it took me a while to warm up to the characters decent game to listen to a podcast and shoot and loot. It sucks that weapon slots are tied to story progression and that makes leveling a second character a chore. Performance on the Xbox one X is not too hot however I did get the game on the epic store on pc and the performance is MUCH BETTER. R3600, 2070 Super The DLCs are very good, much better than the core game.

    If you're a veteran of the previous Borderlands games, you can rest assured that this official 3rd incarnation is bigger and better than any of Gearbox's efforts before. More crazy guns, hi-res cell-shaded graphics, improved physics, and loads of humor to boot. The 4 new playable vault hunters all feel natural to the Borderlands universe; they cover a wider variety of class archetypes between their skill trees than ever before. The areas within the core game are sizable and easily surpass those of Borderlands 2 and Pre-Sequel in scope. Unfortunately, the story of Borderlands 3 has taken a turn for the worse. Most agree that Tyreen and Troy aren't as strong villains as Handsome Jack was...and I won't waste time posting details or spoilers here, but by the end of the game the virtue-signaling SJWs have taken full control (read: there's lots of forced feminism that artificially plants female characters into positions of power). Borderlands 3's best dialogue and humor firmly take place within the side quests this time. As of this review, I also must point out that Borderlands 3 has its share of technical issues to iron out. Crashes, inventory glitches, frame-rate stutters (even on Xbox One X) and a laundry list of other small bugs bog down the experience slightly. If Gearbox can polish these problems out, I think Borderlands 3 is set to deliver on more quality looter-shooter action for years to come.

    Humor mixed with fun, gripping gameplay make this a must play for first-person shooter and RPG fans alike. Quests never become monotonous although the extensive focus on loot and ammo can. Nevertheless, Borderlands 3 should appeal to most gamers, whether they’ve play the past borderlands games or not

    This game is amazing! I love the graphics and gameplay. It’s very reminiscent of Borderlands 2 but better. I love the improvement they made and the story is very interesting so far. If you liked any of the others, give this a shot! If you haven’t played the others I recommend playing them first.
