The bigger question is where does Borderlands 3 fit in all of this? Destiny, Anthem and the like provide meaningful experiences all their own. But the entire looter shooter genre–which Borderlands played no small role in creating–has evolved considerably since 2012. We’d probably end up covering it in a 2025 list of the greatest games ever made. If Borderlands 3 came out a year or two after the original, I’m pretty sure it’d have been hailed as a phenomal achievement. Does that necessarily make it a great game in 2019? With the depth integration of mechanics, storytelling, and emergent gameplay we’ve come to expect in a post-Witcher 3 world, that’s a much harder question to answer. It’s bigger and better in every single way, from a greater variety of guns to a more diverse map to all the visual enhancements brought about by the move to Unreal 4. If you loved Borderlands 2, you will adore Borderlands 3. Is it a better game? In a word, yes, it absolutely is. Borderlands 3 arrived last week, shouldering the tremendous weight of expectation that any followup to 2012’s legendary Borderlands 2 would’ve had to bear.
