Borderlands 4 Review

Sep 25, 2025

Gearbox invented the looter shooter with Borderlands, and in a lot of ways the series didn’t grow with the times. Borderlands 4 is a game that feels like its going through some growing pains, as it feels like a direct response to player feedback over prior entries. It’s less wacky, more grounded, and in doing so, it finds a new level of confidence even if it loses a bit of its personality along the way. “Diablo with guns” is still an incredibly compelling gameplay loop, that is further improved upon and refines the looter shooter. Gearbox still does it like no one else, and Borderlands 4 is a fantastic time solo or with friends.
