"Borderlands 4 plays all the familiar refrains for which the franchise is known: You control one of four Vault Hunters as you gun down thousands of masked maniacs and mutated monsters. Taking down these hordes of enemies not only grants you valuable experience for leveling your character, but also millions of guns to loot. True to its pedigree, these weapons are a highlight; every encounter holds the potential to yield your new favorite weapon, a rush I never grew tired of during my 50-plus-hour playthrough."
"I always looked forward to the loot each battle would deliver, but Borderlands 4's gunfights are as chaotic and fun as ever. Though some drag on longer than my liking, wide ranges of enemies from disparate factions elevate the variety of foes in any given fight, and I often caught myself leaning in to focus when the dynamic music shift signaled the arrival of a strong "Badass" enemy variant. I loved picking off foes with my single-shot assault rifle before storming in with my corrosive shotgun."
Borderlands 4 recalibrates core franchise elements to refine combat, loot, and pacing after previous entries. Players choose one of four Vault Hunters and face thousands of varied enemies across chaotic encounters. Combat yields experience and a constant stream of guns, with rare unique drops such as sticky-bomb sniper rifles and singularity-spawning throwing knives providing standout moments. Wide enemy varieties and dynamic music shifts emphasize tougher variants during fights. Weapon upgrades remain uncommon, but loot excitement persists throughout long play sessions. The setting, Kairos, exists under the oppressive Timekeeper who values order above all else.
