“Few games can capture the magic of the “looter shooter” like the Borderlands games, and that’s probably because it was one of the first in the genre to make a name for itself through the mechanic. Sure, players of other genre were used to slaying bosses or tough beasts and seeing loot drop, but Borderlands made literal fountains of loot spew out of corpses in a colorful rainbow of rarity. After striking gold with the antagonist in Borderlands 2, the series fumbled with its third entry six years ago and while we have had a bit of Wonderlands to tide fans over, many wondered if Gearbox and 2K had what it took to bring new life into the series with Borderlands 4.
Offering an entirely new and literal open world to explore, new traversal options, and of course four new vault hunters, Gearbox has certainly made great strides over the years but not without some more stumbles along the way.”
