It\u2019s simultaneously a poster child for excess and restraint, which sounds paradoxical, but for a series named for existing on the border of seemingly opposed concepts, it feels right at home.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IGN_%E2%80%93_810\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/borderlands-4-review\">IGN<\/a> &#8211; 8\/10<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Borderlands 4 gives the series the massive kick in the pants it has needed, with a fantastic open world and greatly improved combat, even bugs and invisible walls can sometimes throw off that groove.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GamesRadar_%E2%80%93_810\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/games\/borderlands\/borderlands-4-review\/\">GamesRadar<\/a> &#8211; 8\/10<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Borderlands 4 extracts the essence of a finale shootout and spins it across an entire game, with a staggering amount of guns allowing for pure carnage. While the game&#8217;s story and tone fall far from those heights, at times it simply doesn&#8217;t matter as much as shooting six robots out of the sky with an electrified explosive gun.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VGC_%E2%80%93_45\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/review\/borderlands-4-review\/\">VGC<\/a> &#8211; 4\/5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Borderlands 4 is a great RPG shooter with rewarding, engrossing gameplay. Some of the set dressing, like the bland new characters and pointless grappling hook, take the shine off, but the sheer amount of fun we&#8217;ve had with the game can&#8217;t be overlooked. Borderlands 4 reminds us exactly why we were such big fans of the original two games, and falls on its sword in learning the mistakes of 3.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GameSpot_%E2%80%93_710\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/reviews\/borderlands-4-review-too-much-of-an-overcorrection\/1900-6418405\/\">GameSpot<\/a> &#8211; 7\/10<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>All in all, if uncovering loot, crafting builds, and unleashing chaotic mayhem is what you&#8217;re looking for, Borderlands 4 has you covered. It&#8217;s the most mechanically sound Borderlands game to date, and the various Vault Hunters each present an entertaining opportunity to tackle the game in a different way. Just maybe find a good podcast or video essay to fill the moments between the shooting and looting. The game&#8217;s story and characters aren&#8217;t strong enough to hold your attention on their own, and the game&#8217;s combat begins to drag once you&#8217;ve seen all the enemy types there are to see.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr>\n<p>Are these the sorts of review scores and conclusions you were hoping for Borderlands 4 to receive?
