Borderlands 3 is an action role-playing first-person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. It is the sequel to 2012's Borderlands 2, and the fourth main entry in the Borderlands series. Borderlands 3 was released on 13 September 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A Google Stadia port has been confirmed for a later release date.

Players complete quests and side missions, in single-player or multiplayer, as one of four classes. When killed, enemies may drop weapons and gear which can be equipped. New abilities are unlocked as the player gains experience. Unlike previous games, the levels of Borderlands 3 take place on multiple planets. The plot is centered around stopping the cult-leading twins, Troy and Tyreen Calypso, from harnessing the power of the alien Vaults spread across the galaxy.

Pros:

The looter shooters are really fun and improved a lot from Borderland 2

New Vault Hunters are really cool to play and really easy to grasp

More Borderland humor in Borderland 3.

The location where you explore Borderland 3 was for sure greatly designed WITH each

Distinct / Planet setting as you are encouraging for different playstyles with unique enemies and environment

With good combat, The action scenes feel faster now and more fun due to a lot of different weapons with different states to use for

The Graphics is for sure been upgraded form Borderland 2 with more stunning looking visual

A lot of good side-missions to do with many been really funny and some been rewarding, many events to take part in as well

OH MAN! There is a lot of stuff to do after you are done with the main story, with many side-missions to do, many bounties to do and many places left to explore and loot.

The story while not good is a good conclusion to the Borderland’s 10th Year Journey.

The Soundtrack is fantastic and really pumps you up.

I really did enjoy the references this game had to movies and other video-games.

LOT AND LOT OF GUNS!

Cons:

The story is not the great point of this game, it was weak with a weak ending and easy to call with been lackluster in every part of it.

I heard that this game ran poorly in consoles ( PS4 or Xboxone ) and during fights, a huge FPS drop would happen ( could be fixed with some patches )

The main menus in Borderland 3 is a mess IMO and not well designed, like sorting needs a fix and the minimap should always point to the north than been random

With not so good main menus in the game, the UI feels like is still stuck in the old days. You can not see all the side-quests in the map ( all missions should be shown in the map from the start than you selecting one and than seeing it )

Sound mixing in Borderland 3 IS JUST AWFUL and i do not know how it came like this from the production ( Just when you start a game, reduce the gun sound to 50 to enjoy the badass soundtrack )

Level design is often linear to a fault

Navigating planets is often frustrating

Lack of polish ( can be fixed with patches )

Villains are basically like YouTubers, they are weak and not the level of handsome Jack

Final Verdict:

7 / 10 ( Good )

( Wait for Sale )

Borderland 3 is basically Borderland 2.5. It has many improvements and touches on all the new gameplay and all the mechanics but if you expected Borderland 3 to have a “ Tales of the Borderland “ story or great characters than you might not enjoy this game, Borderland 3 is made for the fans of borderland and it works perfectly in that aspect.
