Yes, there's an overwhelming quantity of guns available in Borderlands 3, but the interesting ones only drop towards the end of the game. Where Borderlands 3 really shines is the simple, yet almost perfect combat, and guns variety. The same goes for some of the bosses, as many times I found myself without bullets for both of my slotted weapons. Unfortunately, Gearbox hasn't been consistent when it comes to balancing the new bosses, so you'll find that some are too easy to kill, while others are a real pain because of the mechanics.Īs you progress the story, enemies become bullet sponges, something that could have been avoided if Gearbox didn't want to artificially extend the campaign. However, regular monsters are cannon fodder compared to some of the bosses in Borderlands 3. Several new faces appear in the second half of the game, so don't expect anything new in the first 10 hours or so. The lengthy campaign takes players to different planets and landscapes, but if you've played any of the previous games, you'll recognize most of the enemies you'll encounter. I didn't expect any deep characterization and Gearbox “delivered,” so think of the Calypso Twins as regular, power-hungry villains. They appear quite often throughout the game, but they never quite reveal their motives until the very end. The plot is centered around stopping a duo of villains, the Calypso Twins (Troy and Tyreen), from raiding the alien Vaults spread across the galaxy. Even so, the update to the skill tree allows for more varied character builds. Unlike previous Borderlands games where each character has just one unique skill, Borderlands 3 allows players to unlock three unique skills, though one only (two for Zane players) can be equipped at a time. They offer very different playstyles, but what really sets Borderlands 3 apart from the other two games is how the skill tree has been implemented. ![]() This time around a quartet of new characters are available for players to choose from: Amara, a Siren who summons ethereal fists, Moze, a young Gunner who rides the mecha Iron Bear, Zane, an Operative with a variety of gadgets, and FL4K, a robot Beastmaster who summons creatures to aid in fights. ![]() It's quite clear that Gearbox didn't want to risk anything and adjusted the dated formula with some updates to gameplay and UI, but just about everything else feels the same. Simply put, if you liked any of the previous titles, you'll love Borderlands 3. However, despite the many improvements added, Borderlands 3 follows the same recipe that made the series popular in the last 10 years. Ten years after Gearbox launched the first Borderlands game not much has changed for the series that defined the shooter-looter (shlooter) genre.Īlthough it's unfair to judge a game by its predecessors, Borderlands 3 is mainly aimed at fans of the series, so it makes sense to highlight all the gameplay features that set it apart from the other installments in the series if there are any.įrom the get-go, Borderlands 3 promises a bigger world with multiple planets to visit, more guns and jokes than ever, as well as a lengthy campaign. ![]() There's no better way to celebrate Borderlands' 10th anniversary than to release a brand new game.
