Borderlands 3 Review Thread

Hello travelers!

Welcome to the Borderlands 3 Review Thread; here, we will be compiling all of the major outlets’ reviews for the game. I believe the review embargo lifts at 7 AM PST today. Before we get started, a few friendly rules and reminders:

  1. Not everyone will have the same opinion as you, and that’s okay! Don’t flame or threaten reviewers for their viewpoint.

  2. Any individual posts about reviews will be removed. Please keep the discussion and posting of reviews consolidated in this thread.

  3. Tag me if I miss anything! I’ll be in and out today, so make sure to let me know if I need to add any reviews.

  4. These reviews might have spoilers. Warn me if you link one with any spoilers and I’ll mark it. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.

GENERAL CONSENSUS (based on my impressions of the reviews)

Borderlands 3 is more Borderlands. If you like the humor and art style, you’ll like it here. If you don’t like the humor and art style, this game won’t change your mind. For fans of the series, this is a far bigger Borderlands with a myriad of improvements, great playable characters, and loot. It didn’t go beyond the series formula, but for fans of the franchise, you will be happy to be back home in the Borderlands.
