XGN - "Borderlands 3 has surpassed the bar that its predecessor had set. The story is grand in scale, the humor is on-point and updated to 2019, weapons are diverse and the new Vault Hunters are unique in every way. Every BL-fan must pick this game up" - 95/100

Hobby Consolas - "Gearbox has taken the Borderlands formula and improved it to achieve the definitive 'looter shooter'. Bigger, better, longer and funnier; Borderlands 3 is legendary loot" - 94/100

InsideGamer.nl - "We don't know what happened to Borderlands 2, but that's probably the fault of Claptrap. This new game offers funny stories, an amazing world to explore and so much more. Must have" - 90/100

Gamer.nl - "Borderlands 3 is pretty traditional, but in many ways this is the ultimate looter-shooter offering up a great satire about the streamculture of today" - 90/100

PC Games - "For me, the game is for sure at the top of my list of games of the year" - 90/100

Meristation - "Gearbox returns with a new entry in the Borderlands saga and it's the best one yet. It has more guns, a better gunplay, a bunch of iconic characters and a great story, more planets to explore and interesting quests" - 90/100

Gamersky - "Borderlands 3 is the best game Gearbox has ever made. The weapons are interesting and goofy, the battles are intense and tricky, and the multiple open-worlds are beautiful and full of challenging missions. For Chinese gamers, it might be the most immersive 3A game in recent years because of the wonderful Chinese voice acting" - 90/100

IGN - "Borderlands 3 sticks to its guns and outdoes itself with an amazing arsenal of weapons, humor, and missions" - 90/100

Shacknews - "The insane amount of content shown here, including side quests, collectables, and all the throwbacks to previous Vault Hunters and beloved characters makes Borderlands 3 an absolute delight to play through" - 90/100
