Destructoid - Chris Carter - 9 / 10

Borderlands 3 takes most of the good bits of Borderlands 2 and either rolls with them or improves upon them. It didn't need to reinvent the wheel either, as Gearbox pretty much had the formula figured out the second time around.

Forbes - Paul Tassi - 9 / 10

Borderlands 3 was worth the wait and will be a fixture in this genre for years to come. And I think few fans of the last two will be disappointed when they get their hands on it at last.

Game Informer - Matt Miller - 8 / 10

An old formula executed well, Borderlands 3 rarely takes chances or strays from expectation

GameSpot - Jordan Ramée - 8 / 10

Borderlands 3 fumbles with its bosses, but the game ultimately continues its predecessors' tradition of fun, mayhem-filled looting and shooting.

Hobby Consolas - Álvaro Alonso - Spanish - 94 / 100

Gearbox has taken the Borderlands formula and improved it to achieve the definitive "looter shooter". Bigger, better, longer and funnier; Borderlands 3 is legendary loot.

IGN - James Duggan - 9 / 10

Borderlands 3 sticks to its guns and outdoes itself with an amazing arsenal of weapons, humor, and missions.

PC Gamer - James Davenport - 63 / 100

An endless font of bad jokes and cool guns in the series' most vapid story yet, Borderlands 3 skates by on watching numbers fly and goons explode.

Polygon - Ben Kuchera - Unscored

Borderlands 3, if it works well at launch, is a competent game that feels like a passable continuation of the franchise instead of an evolution. It’s the same general idea with new vault hunters, but with little of the joy and danger that I fell in love with in earlier entries.

Shacknews - Josh Hawkins - 9 / 10

The Borderlands formula might be a bit dated with its raunchy jokes and cheesy dialogue, but that doesn’t change that it is a formula that keeps reeling players back in again and again. Despite the fact that I’ve already logged over 40 hours in the game, I still can't help but feel the want to dive back in with a new character just to experience it all again.

USgamer - Mike Williams - 4 / 5 stars

Despite the formula growing a bit stale, Gearbox has expanded upon it in the right way, resulting in a great Borderlands experience.

Sure. But he's one person. Hundreds of people make this game who are all really cool people. There's plenty of videos of th talking to content creators about different builds or aspects of the game and how they've listened to fans requests.

I can buy the game and still think he's a knobhead.
