I've been a fan of the Borderlands franchise since the first game hit a decade ago. Yes, a decade ago! Feel old yet? Well, I do...
Ahem, back to this review. Anyway, like I said; I've enjoyed this series of first-person shooters since the first one came out. It stands to reason I should like the latest incarnation, which dropped on Friday the 13th, right?
Right!
My wife is more the active gamer in our family, but I like what I like. And I like me Borderlands 3 a lot. It's got everything I enjoy about the previous games -- dark sense of humour, cool comic-book style graphics, gunsgunsguns -- and adds slick new characters, fancy weapons, and some groovy moves to... well... move the game along.
No, I haven't finished the game yet. I have a life, believe it or not, and a family. Although I'm having trouble remembering their names because I have played a lot of Borderlands 3 lately. He he. Yarp.
OK, the ability to slide and clamber are the real standouts so far. Sliding comes in handy when you're taking fire or dodging a skag. It's pretty cool. And clamber allows you to jump and crawl over large objects, or up buildings. It's a nice move that... well... moves things along.
What else is different? There's split-screen gameplay so two nerds can play at once, and you can challenge each other to combat as well. Oh, and you get a spaceship pretty early on too. THAT means we leave Pandora for the first time ever! Space, the final frontier...
I'm back. This game owns. What more can I say? If you dig Borderlands, ignore those whiny bitches on Steam who have been complaining about minor glitches with the game on their PC, man up and get a console, and enjoy. It's a Good!
PS: the game takes about 30 hours to play if you bee-line it. I haven't bee-lined it yet.
