Among the minuses are the plot and boring characters.

On September 11, the first reviews for Borderlands 4 began to appear online. According to critics, Gearbox took into account the numerous criticisms of not only the third part, but also the entire series, giving Borderlands fans what they really asked for. Almost.

Many reviewers call the world structure and the absence of loading screens almost the main advantage of the fourth part. Exploring locations has become much more interesting. The skill tree and arsenal are also praised separately.

Critics did not particularly like the plot and generally flat characters, but the restrained humor and down-to-earth scenario do not spoil the overall impression of the narrative.

Reviewers separately noted performance issues, some of which may be fixed by the day-one patch.

At the time of writing, the fourth part of Borderlands has 85 points on OpenCritic and 84 points on Metacritic.
