The game feels nothing like Borderlands

Grapple hook, double jump, jetpack, dashing, no Sanctuary, no functional minimap, iridium is only used for end game, everything like upgrades and quest turn ins are done from your inventory, no catch-a-ride the vehicle just spawns out of your characters badunga, Marcus is replaced with Zane for some reason, the open world map is 70% dead space, feels impossible to get a normal gun instead of the gun having 3 gimmicks, infinite grenades that just recharge for some reason, a stim that heals you and gives buffs that also infinitely recharges for some reason, a Destiny 2 ghost that just tells you what to do because the game is horrible at it otherwise, I have so many problems with this game it's unreal

And of course the performance that's horrible because the devs absolutely HAD to use Unreal Engine 5 guys it's the new big thing that literally no game developer ever knows how to use properly and optimize games with properly (don't worry guys just turn on frame generation like the official optimization guide tells you to!)

No amount of updates can fix it for me I do not recommend this game if you're a classic Borderlands fan

yeah catching feesh is pretty cool with your fellow guppy catchers (friends)

Unplayable game due to RCE exploits that allow people to gain access to your entire PC and get any information they want, and the servers are ded

Unfinished rushed launch because of Tarkov drama, game very uncomplete with nothing to do and no pvp because it takes hours to walk the map and unlock the landing zones, no static loot spawns other than hats and food, movement is very sluggish and awkward, and on demand shader loading provides a lot of cool and epic stutters while also having bad performance. But at least it didn't cost $250!

Unplayable between the 50/50 chance of a player being a cheater and it being a random chance to be able to join a friend's lobby, very frustrating to be chased and gunned down by god mode players that crash your game if you go passive or run away. I don't recommend this game to anyone in it's current state, ten fold if you're trying to play with friends. GTA is the only game that I've played that I really really enjoy playing but I simply can't without something hindering the experience, I can't wait for GTA 6 to more than likely follow the same fate at launch, and it will because they never cared to fix it in GTA 5.

Packet burst packet burst packet burst packet burst packet burst packet burst completely unplayable game riddled with SBMM with no alternatives now that they've shut down H2M after waiting for the players to buy MWR during the sale and hope they don't get a refund, absolutely the scummiest company in gaming. Thank you H2M team for at least trying to give us something that we really want TWICE. Efforts do not go unnoticed

If you're looking for a game similar to MX vs ATV, this isn't it, it's a satisfying rhythm based MX racing game, with more sim-like mechanics while remaining arcade-y enough to enjoy and not be punished at every little mistake. It's difficult, with an emphasis on map memorization and knowing when to slow down / maintain speed. The graphics are very nice, tire tracks remain in the dirt, realistic wind effects on clothing, amazing replay features, it's an all around pleasant game to play. There are rewinds available in single player to add forgiveness to the game, and a jump-boost mechanic to allow you to make jumps you might've been too slow during the approach for. Very surprising to find a MX game this good that's been out since 2019, thanks Cody for recommending it. (:

Sadly I can't recommend in it's current state. Reviews can be updated later and I'm confident this one will be, but unfortunately I've been let down on this release. This isn't just a classic Battlefield launch with bugs, I've seen what those look like, this is a product of poor decision making mixed with, probably, too early of a release date.

The beta was amazing, it reignited some old friendships and got some old friend groups together, it was really good fun and got me so excited for the release, same with all my friends, we were all ready to play the game with each other and experience Battlefield again, but that didn't happen.

It runs HORRIBLY on computer, it's very unoptimized and the servers as expected are very bad, some of my friends can't even play the game despite playing games like Halo and Vanguard just fine. Hit registration feels dodgy, I have no idea if I'm about to kill someone or be killed regardless of my advantage on them, and that's also because of the ridiculous amount of bloom on the weapons (bullets spray within an invisible circle rather than on your crosshair/reticle), I can't see how good I'm doing compared to my team mates because no scoreboard, I can't talk to the enemy which makes a casual non-competitive game like Battlefield feel dry and empty, it cuts out approximately 50% of the interactions I COULD be having. I can't play Portal and get weapon XP because a few bad apples (XP farmers) ruined the bunch, disable weapon progression for kills on bots, problem solved, not harder to do than disabling progression on Portal as a whole. Team play does not exist, almost every operator's abilities are used strictly for selfish uses, wing gliders, placeable shields, a riot shield, nobody picks their operator to do team play, they pick it because it benefits them. I can't see medics near me, I skip every revive because why wouldn't I get into the action faster guaranteed instead of waiting for a medic to MAYBE show up? There's no reason to not repeat features we love. There's so many more issues but I can't be bothered to type them, DICE won't see this because they've specifically stated they read Reddit and their forums more.

This Battlefield is a huge step backwards as well as in the wrong direction. Features that've been here either for years or since the beginning of the franchise are gone. What were they thinking? Did they think we wouldn't notice or know better? I believe they'll fix it, but after Battlefield V completely losing the developers support so soon after the release of the game, I'm seriously worried.

I don't recommend this game in it's current state. Wait a bit, wait to see improvements that you want to see, and when you see them implemented you can make that decision, I hope you enjoy it and if you do enjoy the game right now I'm happy for you, but I and a bunch of my friends do not.
