The Borderlands is undergoing a grand and harsh rebirth with Borderlands 4. It is more mature, less zany than before. A smart haircut and fresh new work shirt. It is bringing with a gameplay overhaul, which loves the highly profitable original trilogy and is associated with a contemporary change. It marks a new era to the borderlands, and while it still provides the same lootin ‘and shoots’ prosperity as you expect, I cannot help, but feel that some soulful part of its soul is thrown out of the window in an attempt.
The game brings players to a complete new settings, the planet Kareos where the vault huntters, the Galaxy-Spanish Arms manufacturer and the claptrap units have never touched. This is until a moon threw its protective veil, essentially breaks the old in the new and mixes them all together. This means for the player that there is a mixture of new and returned characters and weapons, and we have separated a different tone from whatever we have seen from the Borderlands series.

I like something I like. Borderlands 4 is a huge, beautiful science-fi game. During my preview I was able to detect two small corners of the world: the first succulent green part of my open world. Borderlands 4 has thrown the loading screen and blue digital gates aside between the zone in favor of a huge landscape, and it is better for it. The hunting for exploration, kuriki alternative quarrels or hidden (red) chests is greatly enhanced, the wooden ramps are locked in water below a huge rock below. Even in slices from our walls, I could stumble on a drilling site, and was aware of some other people of a secret owner in preview. There is magic in it. It feels like luck, and not in a bad way!
But, this transition to an open world with this transition has problems of the open world, that is, how to really fill the world, so it is not just different spots by the swath of nothing. Borderlands is not 4 Extremely This nail. Gearbox has sprayed collectors like audio logs and vault symbols. There are also random world events – your average gunfight spin – which apparely pop up as you travel around. I only ran into one, a space ship that you can swim and garbage for sleek robbery, so most of those mindless drives remain uneven.
It is good, that once you actually join a firefight, the Borderlands 4 retains the same caramel rich gunplay that was near its predecessor. Weapons you pick up from the ground, snatch from the chest, and the pilots from the toilet are diverse and porous. The process of popping headshots with a sniper or blowing people with a gun is still an explosion, as your sniper can shoot the original bolt, and your shotgun can be thrown as a small man who moves around and brutally murdered.
Borderlands 4 has abandoned the purity of guns dedicated to the sole manufacturers, a loyal representative of a particular style with each gun, for a weapon part system. Now, due to just a high damage hand cannon rather than the jacobs sniper pistol, it may have a high fire rate, a fundamental weapon type, or a pre-aged charge facility. Its desired effect is to spread the variety of each gun and in fact, it seems less to go from one weapon to another, such as swimming in a huge soup of different tastes of guns, jumping between different different types, she was molested for fundamental archtips. A sniper will also be a sniper, but what a sniper can actually do, there is a tentalizing mystery all the time.
I am torn on this change. The gearbox gun has been successful in expanding the pool, but essentially the walls between the manufacturers have dropped down, but I cannot help, but feel that a lot of the character brought by each brand has fallen into this process. There are cultures that provide bonuses to weapons with specific weapons parts, a remedy for players that find themselves a specific type of gun stallwart fans, but what percentage of damage or fire rate promotes the rate of fire actually compare the role that was used to fill the weapons? The melting barrage of Malivan on which you can count, or the explosive power of a torque? This, I think, will be a system that pleases many people, and I appreciate that steps have been taken to preserve experience for people like me. I just ask this: If you put a bugati engine inside a Ferrari, is it still a Ferrari?
This is not the only area in which old border people are torn. Tone, humor and crime of old sports have been replaced with a modern, mature vibe. The borderlands’ craingy ghost hunts 3 gearbox like a speaker, and it is clear that the Borderlands 4 has a reaction to the attitude to Levity. It used to happen when you have made a game where yellow mutant Sponge bulletpant Emerges from a pineapple made of meat, you have gone far. However, Newton’s Laviti’s cradle has swinging a touch far away in the other direction. An overgrowth that is dangerous to make the border – a chain is strange and defined by a demon – like on its own, well, like everything.
In preview, we experienced a short main story mission in which we meet Rush. Rush is a kind, humble meat-head, mass muscles and the heart of gold. He works with using a boss called Horrace, and collects stolen packages to the base of the operation of Horres. When he tells about protein, the dice collection of one of his comrades, and so on. Rush is GoodHe is ineffective, it is written in such a way that he likes too much by all people who will play Borderland 4.
After this discovery, I found a claptrap by a lakehouse. He asked me, a new recruitment to Crimson resistance that he can order around, to collect some of his property. These include a picture of Moxxi inside a hidden puja room, the voice module of the claptraps build-a-commpanian Veronica that you accidentally destroy the disintegration of the claptrap and destroys a classic borderlands psycho mask. This discovery is cheerful, and perhaps worryingly, much more fun than the main mission I played for a few minutes.
Borderlands 4 is joking-Sharla. Alternative missions on bounty boards are simple kilo quests, and they do not come with a side character of how they come with an explosive cake for nearby bandits or whatever they are. Just go out, kill a dog named Romeo, and get a gun and some cash. There is no soul here! It seems as if an attempt has been made to bring the series back to the border 1 era, but forgot the reality that TK BAHA would continuously jokes about his blindness, or Eric Frank’s wife threw all his porno mags.
I can only hope that, 4 outside the small window in the border 4 that I played, things become quite fun. But I am not sure they will. I talked about that claptrap mission, it ends on a poignant note. You stack all the items of the claptrap, including the OG Borderlands Mask Representative of the original trilogy, on a boat and push it into the lake. Then you blow it, a symbolic farewell for the old before marching into the new. I was influenced by the team’s faith in the desired direction of boldness and the Borderlands 4, this is something you need to re -establish a dear chain. I was also a bit sad.
Sadly, while Borderlands 4 enjoyed playing in my short time behind the controller, it is so firm in its departure with old norms. Voltas are known as the ultimate goal, almost always a plan, and acts as a climate fight and looting at the conclusion of a hard journey. Walts Are What are borderlands. A big boss, and a bunch of robbery.
I played a vault in the Borderlands 4 – one in many dots Cairo – and it was a sear of platforms on which a group of enemies should be blown. There is still a boss at the end, and thankfully it is very good. To kill this, you need to bathe the vines to avoid dangerous prickly floors, as well as open weak dots on its body. This is the main attraction of my preview, a monument for gearbox that is correcting with the Borderlands 4, a natural growth on gunplays and owners that I have fought in the border region for years.
But once the boss gets down and the “Treasure Room” reaches, there are only two chests for you. I grabbed a green gun for my troubles, and left. It was not the same as killing the range of seriousness, as the vault I defeated in Borderlands 4 is not a vault as before. It is a new spin, which is good about older people and is considered unnecessary by connecting it, improving some parts, and cutting bits. Borderlands 4 is the same. It is not a border like many – incorporated himself – has grown to love. This is a new border, for better and worse.
Sometimes when you preview a game, you think, “God, I really need more than just two hours with it.” This is one of those times. The B I will finish with it. If you are a borderlands 4, know that the meat to make the chain great is still here, but that it is being served in a different form in a form. It is a game to play with open mind. If you understand it more as a second borderland 1, a completely new venture without a trilogy is moving on it, it is fantastic fun.
However, if you have still found the old hooks of the series recorded in your heart, then warning that you can find them viciously torn from your chest. The worse thing is that no one will joke about it, you will just be unhappy.
The Borderlands 4 was previewed in a closed preview program for the press, and as experienced in a controlled environment.
