Summary Borderlands 3, and by extension the entireBorderlandsfranchise, is built on three core concepts: tight, engaging gunplay, fun, irreverent writing, and collecting more loot than anyone could ever possibly use. While the series has certainly evolved over time, particularly in the gameplay department, the games have always stayed close to their roots, making it a comforting, familiar experience to return to, regardless of the installment. This familiar approach has always been the core of the franchise (as well as its fantasy-tinged spinoff,Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands), which is why any monetization shake-ups afterBorderlands 3would be a big mistake....

Summary Despite all the narrative benefitsOverwatch 2’s story missions have provided, it is hard to deny that they have flaws. No proper boss fights against named characters has been one critique, as has the limited number of missions. Most of all, though, players have been quick to point out that the missions are not very replayable.

The Eager Edge perk inDestiny 2has been recently nerfed by Bungie. Previously, the perk allowed for enhanced movement capabilities for each of the main classes. Swords already give an edge to the user by allowing for a third-person view and high DPS. Eager Edge added a quick and easily exploitable method to dominate the battlefield with incredible speed. Even if the damage on a sword wasn’t great, the movement capabilities made it useful for running circles around enemies inDestiny 2....

Bungie is known to have very strong views with regards to how much matchmaking it’s willing to support inDestiny 2. While it provides matchmaking for lower-end content, intended to be accessible to a majority ofDestiny 2players, higher-end content requires players to find a group for themselves. The decision itself is controversial, in general, but it grows all the more frustrating in certain situations. Take, for example,Destiny 2’s recently released Legendary difficulty for the Astral Alignment event....

One ofElden Ring’s greatest strengths, a strength all of From Software’s games have for that matter, is how nonlinear the experience can be.Elden Ringplayers can progress through the game as they please, missing huge amounts of story, boss fights, and equipment.
