Everyone is Raving About Borderlands 4’s World, But I’m Worried It’s Missing Something Important

Borderlands 4 was recently made available to media outlets and content creators closely associated with the franchise for some early previews, and opinions on the game have been largely positive. Yes, there are some complaints about Gearbox’s latest looter-shooter, such as the controversial compass replacement for the mini-map and Echo-4 not working properly as a guide (though the latter will apparently be fixed in the lead-up to launch). However, alongside those criticisms has come plenty of love, whether it be for the overhauled movement or the easily farmable boss fights. Borderlands 4's open-world in particular has been showered with praise, something that has led many to breathe a sigh of relief - though I’m not quite there yet.
