#BORDERLANDS 3 SERIES#

Borderlands 3 is neither an evolution or revolution to the series instead, it doubles down on a tried-and-tested formula. However, if you’re expecting a huge leap away from Borderlands 2, you might be disappointed. After more than 40 hours of play, I’ve still got a tonne of side quests to complete and areas of the map to explore. But even without any additional stuff, the base game provides players with a ridiculous amount of content. A second season pass is in progress, too, bringing new content over the next few months. The first season pass is complete, adding four sizable DLC campaigns to the mix. If you’re yet to jump into Borderlands 3, now’s a great time to do so. So being able to live through the carnage with higher fidelity really takes the game to the next level. As a series, Borderlands is at its best when it’s absolutely mental. On PlayStation 5, it’s constantly buttery smooth, even when enemies surround you, loot is dropping left, right and centre, and you’re exploding everything in sight. On last gen, Borderlands 3 never performed particularly badly, but you’d experience noticeable framerate drops in busy areas. In fact, the extra power afforded to it by the new generation of consoles makes Borderlands 3 feel like a whole new experience.Ī super-smooth framerate makes all the difference. It’s never looked better and it’s never played better. But jumping into Borderlands 3 on PS5 makes Gearbox’s ridiculously over-the-top FPS feel brand new. It’s not a usual thing to review a 15-month old game for the first time. Shooting tens of dozens of Bandits in the face is just as much fun now as it was a decade ago.
