CGMagazineJustin WoodSep 202510/10Borderlands 4 was such a surprise. The gameplay, story, and mechanics all felt so in sync. It's got its hooks in me like no Borderlands game has before. I can't wait to dive in and keep playing.

The Outerhaven ProductionsJames ClarksonSep 20255/5 starsBorderlands 4 is an amazing entry in the series, Full of Gun's, Exploration and Explosions. You can sink hours upon hours into this game, never feeling like you don't have something to do.

TheGamerAndrew KingSep 20254.5/5 starsSixteen years in, this is Gearbox’s cel-shaded shooter series at its best. From a well-calibrated tone, still-satisfying guns, best-in-class traversal, and an inviting open world, Borderlands 4 answers the question I asked when it was announced. How much can the Borderlands series possibly change? Turns out the answer is both not much… and a whole lot.

EurogamerRick LaneSep 20253/5Borderlands 4 brings a more sensible script and a true open world to its pseudo-cel-shaded gun-show. But these moderate improvements are undermined by frustrating exploration and combat that takes too long to properly shine.

The JimquisitionSep 20256/10Borderlands could have done with a shakeup, but a substandard grappling hook and an obscene number of fetch quests in which players take luggage for walkies isn’t it. Such banality permeates what is otherwise a decent enough shooter, impacting so many other elements that it wrecks things. Adding to that is a one-note tone and huge technical difficulties, making Borderlands 4 a far from “premium” game.
