#BORDERLANDS 3 REVIEW UPDATE#
And no, it still hasn’t done much to update the series’ basic mechanics from ten years ago. Yes, it is bigger in pretty much every respect. To summarise: yes, it is a lot like 2012’s Borderlands 2. This is quite a relief, as it means I don’t have to spend as much time saying the same things as them.
#BORDERLANDS 3 REVIEW CODE#
At times, I even laughed out loud at the game’s script - which only made the rest of it, with all its dated meme references, poo lols and roaring bros, more frustrating.īecause we got review code after launch, you’ve probably already read a couple of reviews of Bonglungs 3 by now. But when it’s firing on all cylinders, it’s the most fun the series has been. It takes a while to get up to speed compared with previous iterations, and it suffers from having missions stretched to the point of tedium for the sake of boasting a 30+ hour play time. It’s blessed with exquisite audiovisual design, it’s extremely annoying on several levels, and it’s compelling despite its boneheadedness.
I had a lot more fun looking at it than I did fighting through it, mind.īurgerlords 3 is a game about clicking on things until they stop.
Eventually, we clicked on the monkeys enough that it all stopped. We made the robots disappear by clicking on them a lot, and then it was on to the next encounter: a malevolent security AI that made horny space monkey sounds over the ship’s PA system, summoning waves of horny space monkeys to the room. We had crossed the invisible line triggering their arrival, and the bear’s exclamation of dismay had to override Moze’s life story. By a vulgar AI in the body of a teddy bear, that honked out “aw crap, more robots,” in a voice like an NYC rapper by way of Peter Griffin. During a bit of scripted mission patter about awkward names, however, she revealed she was born Moserah Hayussinian Yan-Lun al-Amir Andreyevna, and we thought we were going to learn another precious fact about her.Īlas, she continued as far as “but” before she was interrupted. Until that point, we only knew she was a war lass with a big mech. Twenty hours into Borderlands 3, in the jungle-drowned innards of a crashed starship, Moze finally opened up.
