Six years Borderlands The games could be exactly what the franchise needed to discover and revive. After many (including me) he felt disappointed Borderlands 3 For various reasons, the cult series of shooters looter returns with a significantly improved gameplay, a darker tone and a completely modern world to discover Borderlands 4.
Difficult by several very minor failures and disturbing computer performance in pre -release compilation, this can still be easily remembered as the best Borderlands The game is ever made with well -made updates and support after launching.
I just feel so good
Borderlands 4 Set a modern reference point for the basic franchise game. I can’t express enough amusing Bl4 It is to play at the basic level, and it is far away, which is the best, what series ever had to offer. The technology of the modern movement includes gliding, double jumping, sliding, rushing backwards or to the side à la MOOSEAnd ziplining to walk on the battlefield, and at the same time he falls hell on various enemies.
It is addictive and sophisticated, and the main reason why I will return to the game, both in the game in the cooperative and solo. Everything is so good to play. The pistols, movement and skills of the action work together in harmony to create the most velvety and stimulating game loop that the series has ever seen.
Players choose four unique vault hunters – VEX, Harlowe, Amon and Rafa (my choice for my first journey) and adapt their skills when they level and choose compilations that now have greater flexibility than ever. Using various characters, skills, weapons, class fashion, grenades and other charging options, you can really create a game style and experience that you want with endless possibilities. And when it comes to being really “unlimited”, this is how you feel when racing various weapons rolls.
Weapon in Bl4 It can take place with unique additions and features, but also borrow features from other weapons producers. Borderlands Fans will remember names such as Tediore, Mailian and Torgue, all offer different styles. Several modern producers also join the fight, creating Bonanza Rng, in which your weapon will be either overpowered and amusing or useless. And that’s where he plays in this genre.
There is a potential for countless agriculture of a specific weapon and a roll, and now it is easier than ever to formulate some weapons dropped by bosses with the possibility of recreating boss fights on the content of the heart until you get what you are looking for.
I suspect that many players will play in the story and can delve into some final material before crossing. But for real grinders, it seems that there is a great potential to play Bl4 For many months, especially with modern content in the pipeline. This game also adds the opportunity to skip the story and start at level 30 on a modern character, which is immediately more encouraging to many games and diversity.
More mundane (or Cairos) than ever
Increased rates Bl4 The chart on its modern location Kairos creates a more stern game than before, which is a good thing. One of the main complaints about Borderlands The series is a growing rely on toilet humor and stupid jokes. Kairo has a slightly more darker tone than the previous planet Pandora and is a more subdued experience when it comes to humor.
However, do not make a mistake. This is Borderlands. Lots of side tasks are full of stupid references and jokes, from flat and groundbreaking to really amusing. One task I found PokémonAnd I was asked to operate technology to catch the Runaway Mini Bipedal Tediore Pistols such as Pocket Monsters. The mission donor, Bash, could look in horror when Lampaons Rocket named me named Bomb Jake and Josey attacked me.
There is one more side task in which a resident of Kairos Crack Mabacky wanted me to break in my back several times. Seriously. This is a kind of things you turn your eyes to and get XP and money, but it is a reminder that you are still playing Borderlands game. This time it is more additional and less glaring than before, so it works.
One of my main problems with Bl4 It was that the story of the game takes a lot of time. Only after entering the third biom map of the event really made me addicted and made me want to play a story until its completion. Earlier I felt how I broke through the map, studying and learning to fight more than engaging in a growing plot-it’s just about building the world, and it seemed to me that I looked at the events.
This does not aid that the tone of Cairos creates more realistic, though tedious, modern NPC compared to the outrageous characters of the previous game, such as Tina Tina, Sir Hammerlock or Claptrap (Bot takes a vast place in this game), but returning the characters and the plot in the second half, which made everything feel sorry for the main place, even the main place at the end this game).
Despite this, basically every expressed character in the game is revived with flawless care and professional realization, from hunters vaults to random psychos shouting in pain when they are attacked by my auto-impact grenades. In combination with appropriate combat music and an atmosphere that matches the flora and fauna, the game sounds as good as the game.
All these things aid Cairos feel the joy of exploration, ending the map, finding collector’s, cleansing multi -stage side missions and side missions and stumbling on randomly invited events or world bosses who drop high levels. This process is improved only thanks to the modern Digirunner personal vehicle always at your disposal, instead of having to operate it somewhere.
Optimize this!
I reviewed Bl4 On the PC, and the pre -release compilation was smaller than the star when it comes to the optimization of my platform, which is aged at the age of about four years. Transfer during the movement between the map areas, freezing during shooting ranges, monastery drops and a handful of accidents from the game deteriorated my experience and took what could be an immediate classic and did more frustrating experience than I expected.
Fortunately (for the game, not for me), it seems that the problem with my dying power caused most of my worst problems. The gearbox says that day one Bl4 I will improve many of these problems, such as a hook when moving between areas of a vast open map of the world, and I believe that things should seem better, but I can only speak at my personal time with the game.
I spent many of my hours early on improving the settings on my computer, which match the minimum game specifications, but I still had difficulty playing, even in absolutely lowest settings. In the end I found a sweet point of low settings with some exceptions that were thrown out to land at a relatively stable 60 fps of less often drops and hooks, thanks to the aid of 2K and gearbox determining what is best for my machine.
If you are similar to me with an aging platform and comparable specifications (I7-12700K, NVIDIA RTX 3070, 16 GB RAM), think that this may make it challenging your experience. And if you are similar to me, there may be time for some updates.
I hope that incoming optimization updates come Bl4 With its maximum potential, that is, absolutely in the discussion about the best general game in franchise during its premiere. For now, maybe I would suggest choosing it on the console, if you are worried about how it can play on your own computer, or wait for the optimization patch if these potential problems burst you.
For clarity, here are my specifications and game settings:
- AXIS: Windows 11
- CPU: 12. Generation Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-12700K (3.60 GHz)
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070
- ARIES: 16 GB RAM
- Borderlands 4 Video settings: Low setting, resolution 1080p
Here are the recommended and minimal specifications for Bl4 on Steam:
