Our analysis
Slightly above average entry dragged down by lack of endgame content. Went from potential 8/10 to 6/10.
Our analysis
Solid looter shooter with alive dynamic open world and responsive gameplay.
Our analysis
Solid fresh co-op looter-shooter maintaining franchise charm with new Vault Hunters.
Our analysis
Exceptional entry exceeding expectations. Open world transition feels natural with deeper loot and combat.
Our analysis
Borderlands 4 offers familiar co-op shooting and improves as better weapons arrive, but its slow opening and poor PC performance make a sale advisable. This mixed assessment is provisional, with bosses and the ending still ahead.
Our analysis
The most compelling Borderlands since 2 with massively expanded skill trees, addictive loot variety, and smooth gunplay enhanced by new movement mechanics. Endgame loop is deep and rewarding despite navigation friction and co-op progression quirks.
Our analysis
The most mechanically sound entry in the series, with rewarding loot, ridiculously fun gunplay, the strongest roster of vault hunters to date, and excellent new movement like gliding and grappling. However, the overcorrection away from the previous game's tone leaves the story messy and the cast dull and forgettable, while combat grows stale and side quests feel like frustrating, humorless filler. Great if you're chasing loot and chaos, weak on narrative.

Our analysis
Borderlands 4 delivers the series formula with some gameplay improvements but suffers from poor world design, performance issues, and lack of innovation. The reviewer enjoyed 30 hours but found the single-map approach and weak endgame underwhelming compared to prior entries.
Second Wind👍 positive
WatchOur analysis
A solid and fun entry in the series that successfully modernizes the franchise with an open-world transition, improved writing, and engaging side quests, though technical performance issues and the CEO's poor social media conduct detract from what should have been an easy PR win.
- TThe Co-Op Bros👎 negativeWatch
Our analysis
TheCoopBros spent 30+ hours with Borderlands 4 and found it a messy package that ultimately failed to keep them engaged. While the core combat and co-op systems have merit, severe performance issues, numerous bugs, weak level design, and uneven boss quality create what they call 'death by a thousand little cuts.'
