Game Informer: With Gearbox, it truly feels like Borderlands 4 is taking those steps to change the direction of a franchise that had been drifting away from me for more than a decade, while still remaining staunchly true to its overarching identity.
IGN: After several hours dipping my toes into what is sure to be a massive looter shooter, I'm much more optimistic about Borderlands 4's odds of recapturing my affections after years apart.
PCGAMER: There are no big surprises here: Borderlands 4 is more Borderlands. But if you're all extraction-shootered-out and a regular old co-op campaign is what you're looking for (I can sympathize), then I think you've got something to look forward to. Specifically: a big world, some fun new movement abilities, a cool hover bike, and fewer pop culture gags
Games Radar: After three mainline games, eight instalments to the franchise, and 16 years of steady iteration, Borderlands 4 was always going to be tasked with innovating within fairly tight boundaries. Gearbox has come into this project with some bold new ideas, and I honestly can't wait to dive into the final release with three of my friends to see how they all gel together.
Dual Shockers: While I did enjoy the previous games, they could not hold a candle to what Borderlands 4 is going to give us at launch. The improved writing, new gameplay mechanics, and quality-of-life improvements are only the tip of the iceberg of why Borderlands 4 indeed seems like it could be the best Borderlands title to date.
