Borderlands 3 (PS4)

Good game love it

Played Borderlands 2 on PS3 and this game does have improved graphics, but not outstanding. I love playing this game because of the baddies who are more fun and clearer than Borderlands 2, probably because they are higher resolution. Actual play is smooth and responsive but loading is tedious, especially the initial load and, although slightly improved, when changing area locations. Side challenges are great with some good puzzles. Ratio of game play to purchase cost probably the best so far. The allied characters are not as good as Borderlands 2 and are a bit of a pain during game play. And.. the PS4 struggles when loading the game and scenes, taking around 5 minutes to be up and playing but this is a PS4 problem. So good value, a fun product and hours, no weeks, of fun.

Having played all previous titles in the series I suprised my self and didn't buy this at launch. I just felt it did feature anything new....when the price dropped to £9.99 I though "why not" and picked it up. I must say it is a great game, sure its similarl to the others but it also features some new stuff to keep you playing. I'm not sure I would have felt like this if I had payed the launch price but for £9.99 it is a real bargain (I'm playing on ps5 and it's a free upgrade with ps4 version), I must have put in 40+ hours and even purchased the dlc (which I am yet to start). My only negative comment is the online matchmaking is terrible, I am yet to find/be matched any other players, I tend to play solo so doesn't really bother me but it could be a big issue for other people. Overall its a great addition to the series and I would say the 2nd best (number 1 being Borderland 2)

I'm a huge borderlands fan, but waited until now to get this for PS4 (base model) due to mixed reviews about frame rate and stability. I can confirm that single player is stable at 30fps, very few dips. Split screen is a bit rough at times with noticeable drops and hitches - but still playable after many hotfixes from 2K. Oh, and vertical split screen is officially a thing now, so that's a plus. It was missing at launch. What is annoying is the lack of UI scaling, especially in split screen - some text and UI promps are absolutely tiny! You get used to it, but seriously - I'm struggling on a 55" TV from average distance. Witcher 3 added this in after launch, I hope 2K will too. Some texture streaming issues show up every now and then, but this is endemic to unreal engine games so not too surprising, especially on PS4 with its slow hdd. Ps5 is much better apparently. On to my opinion - it's borderlands but MOAR. Everything is turned up to eleven on this one, so if you liked that aspect of BL1 and BL2, you will like this. Its loud, brash, stupid and fun. Great builds to be had with tons of customisation, and you can easily re-spec your character with very little cost, something missing from other rpgs. I'm calling it an rpg because its got rpg elements in it, so rpg/lite? Fun story, cool guns - it's very much rinse and repeat from 2K, with shiny graphics and bigger environments. Only downside is that because it's a 2K game, there are lots of DLC ads in the menus and annoyingly - even in game. They're even set up to look like new missions on the HUD - so deceptive in my opinion. The worst one is right next to a fast travel point on sanctuary, so the message goes off EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU FAST TRAVEL BACK. oof. Approach with this in mind and I'm sure you will have fun. Its not too grindy, even in the early game which is nice. Things really get going at around lvl11 where class mods come in. Better weapons also start to drop around this time too. Overall, good but 2K could do better (and did with previous games).

I enjoyed borderlands 1 but number 2 out stayed its welcome by dragging on for so long. Borderlands 3 however keeps it fresh by changing locations by planet hoping. A much better enjoyable game that has kept me coming back for more questing, gun toting and looting. Also spend a lot of time helping science with the in game science. Definitely worth it if you enjoyed number one

Awesome game. Great action, guns, lots of guns. Love IT!! loving the 1 player mode - i'm old school

If you have a disc based PS5, you get the PS5 enhanced upgrade for free which is great. Plays well and is really good value if you get it on sale like I did.

A great addition to the already brilliant Borderlands game series. Fun to play solo however even more fun teaming up with friends online. Highly recommended for any gamer looking for a challenge.
