Review and evaluation Borderlands 3

Borderlands-3-2.jpg

Borderlands was released almost ten years ago and was the reason for the development of this type of games more and more, after many years of waiting, especially after the disappointing part of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel released in 2014, the third part of the series will delight all its fans.

The game offers an experience full of fighting and alien weapons and crazy endless and this is the most famous thing for this in addition to many of the characters of the first and second part. Borderlands is simply the same as it used to be, but it has not reached the level of the second part.

At the beginning of the game you will be able to choose four different Vault Hunters: Zane Attacker, Witch Amara and Moze with weapons as well as FLA4K, which controls the monsters. . This militia is led by a well-known Lilith character from the previous parts of the game, you and your team will fight The Calypso Twins, the influential brothers (Streamers) who lead a group called Children of the Vault that includes all the gangs and ancient enemies we were fighting in the previous two games. They want to reach the power in the Vualts to increase their power and you should stop them because they certainly will not use their power for good.

I was about to die of boredom and get out of it, but after a few hours Borderlands 3 moves from Pandora to other planets through the spaceship that you can roam around and rest. This move added a lot of color to the Borderlands and increased the fun. Although the gameplay has not changed, new environments and enemies have made the game more alive. For example, Pandora is an arid desert but Prometha is a huge developed city and home to Atlas, while Eden-6 is the other way around.

This depends not only on the design of the worlds and stages, but also on the types of enemies in each region. In the first planet you will get used very quickly to the movements of the enemies and their weapons. As you progress further you will discover new types of enemies and this made me keep playing because it made the repetition factor in the combat system much lighter.

If you play any part of the Borderlands series you will know that there are a lot of jokes and humor in every text you see. I felt that the sense of humor was more funny in the second part, as in this part, as if they were trying to impose jokes and jokes on you, it was not really bad but I did not laugh most of the time, but fans of the series will enjoy this often. Players of the series will also see the return of many former crew, where almost every surviving character will appear in Borderlands, from Lilith and the beloved Calptrap robot to Moxxi (who many love for reasons we won't talk about), Marcus, Tina and Ellie. The Tannis and more. You will feel as if Borderlands 3 is the last season of a long TV show trying to give everyone a chance to appear.

This part was the best in terms of playing medicine and freedom in terms of characters where for the first time in the series there are three skill trees that you can develop yourself and create the style of play you prefer. For me, I chose Zain's character because I felt he was the most enjoyable in terms of play, but his voice and tone were somehow annoying. Zein can send a flying robot that hits and attacks enemies as well as the ability to place a three-dimensional image of him to fight with him and to distract the enemies. As you mentioned each character has its own strength and you will enjoy them all, if you want to fight on the front lines, bananas and Amara are your best choice while Zain and Flack are better to fight from behind.

Everything in Borderlands 3 depends on looting and on what you get. There are more than a billion weapons you can get, according to the developers, ranging from fast machine guns, rifles, snipers and more. This is not all. Every weapon has its own advantages and capabilities. Some of these weapons are stronger against the enemies without armor and some burn them or poison them. Graceful Superball is one of the strangest and most dangerous weapons in which he launches Mario-like fireballs. There is also a weapon that when you throw his stock, he turns himself into a small weapon and hits enemies. I don't want to talk about weapons because I'm not going to end, but the possibility of providing so many unique weapons is an achievement in itself.

One of the bad things about weapons is that sometimes when you get the necessary gear and guide your game style, you will have to change it as you progress and use new weapons and you may not get the weapons you want. It was bad and I felt like it was forcing the players to buy the golden keys with real money that opens you a box with the best equipment you can get, I wish there was another way to upgrade and upgrade your weapons.

You can play and finish the story of Borderlands 3 yourself, but as you progress, you notice that many stages were designed to be played by more than one person.In some rooms there will be a lot of enemies and your armor will be broken quickly and you will lose many life points as you fight. There is a mechanism called Second Wind that revives you when you die if you kill any kind of enemy before time runs out, but it won't replace the place to be with you and help you two people and more.

Talking about enemies Let's talk about bosses, boss fighting is usually fun but very long when you play yourself. There is only one way to fight each leader and sometimes you will have to fight it for more than ten minutes and all you have to do is avoid the blows and take cover from the bullets behind something until he dies. The basic leader.

After trying shooting games like Doom and Rage 2, I wish Borderlands would allow players to be on the front and be able to attack more. The game relies heavily on the mechanism of fighting a large group of enemies and hiding behind the cover where there is no way to avoid strikes. You will often wait for your own ability or search the area for ammunition for your best weapon after a long and unfinished fight. With all these awesome weapons in your hands, I think Borderlands 3 would be more beautiful if you allowed you to attack more than defense, but most of the characters are soft and very gentle (except Moze and her robot). I hope that the next part of the series solves this problem.

These things generally happen on an individual stage, but if you try them in a collaborative style, you won't feel that much and you will enjoy it with your friends as you did in the previous section. All you have to do is convince your friend to buy the game and literally kill everything in front of you. The game also supports the Split-Screen option, which I miss a lot in the gaming world and certainly Borderlands will be more enjoyable if your friend is by your side while you fight together. I have tried it on PlayStation 4 Pro and there are two options for accuracy, Adham improves graphics and the other for performance, I did not notice the big difference in terms of graphically, but when you choose the performance you will be able to try it at 60 fps and this is how you should play the game.

Borderlands 3 did not change anything from the series and still Borderlands, which they played and loved before, but Studio Gearbox has presented the same experience more and bigger stages of the previous parts. The gameplay is really fun and the world of the game as well, but for the story, I didn't feel that it was as good as it was in the previous part and didn't attract me in any way. Even the main enemies in the picture above I felt a little childish and did not rise to the level of the main enemy in the previous game Handsom Jack, who is one of the best characters in the world of games.

POSITIVES

  • Fun and smooth gameplay

  • The presence of different environments and types of new enemies on each planet has increased the aesthetic of the game

  • The presence of different playable characters and the possibility and development of three different skill trees helped create a custom play style

  • 60 fps (PS4 PRO) and Split-Screen option

NEGATIVES

  • The main enemies and the main story were not attractive and did not live up to the second part

  • There is some redundancy in side missions

  • Fighting the leaders was not satisfactory enough and there should have been more leaders in the main story

FINAL l EVALUATION

The Story - 7

Play style - 8

Graphics - 8

Sounds - 7

7.5

Very good

Borderlands 3 is still famous for its endless weapons but with different gameplay and character improvements as well as new planets that change the environment and enemies altogether. If you are looking for the story, unfortunately this part was weaker than before, but if you are a fan of Borderlands, you should definitely try it out or if not, this part will not change your mind.

Sort:  

Felt the same, good game play, but they dropped the ball on story telling.

Thanks for your review! I didn´t read every detail, because I'm going to experience it myself these days :) Just started playing it with my husband

Sup Dork?!? Enjoy the Upvote!!! Keep up with the dorky content for more love!!!

I know a lot of people that were really excited about this coming out but I am not one of those people even though I played 2 all the way through. The main drawback for me was the sheer number of drops that you have to sift through in order to find a weapon that suits your playstyle and just like you said, the weapon you picked up quickly becomes obsolete but I don't like the aspects of a "suitable" weapon.

The humor of these games has always appealed to me but for the most part I think i'll just let this one pass me by. I have a massive backlog of games that I bought on special anyway, and i haven't even played them at all. :)

BTW, the video says "not actual gameplay" very early on an this seems to be all-too-common with game developers. I don't want cinematics when watching a game promo, i want to see the actual game. I can't be alone in this...
