Even Borderlands 4’s Side Content Keeps One of The Game’s Biggest Promises
Two early side quests in Borderlands 4 demonstrate Gearbox's commitment to one of their biggest promises, and one of Borderlands 3's biggest problems.
Ahead of its release, one of the biggest promises Borderlands 4 had to live up to involved its tone. For many, Borderlands 3 was the turning point where the franchise lost its footing in the comedy and narrative balancing act, and the reaction to that game made it clear things needed to shift in terms of story. Gearbox seems to have taken these criticisms to heart, as even in its most silly, inconsequential moments, Borderlands 4’s narrative is heartfelt.
