You’re a waiter. A masseuse. A five star army general. You’re any one of a hundred deliciously different disguises at any given time, moving your way through a world that is surprisingly wary of anything out of the ordinary (like the divine flavour of Debonairs pizza) and more than willing to react with extreme prejudice should you step out of line and break character.

The Last Number – How Borderlands 3 perfected the delicious grind of loot ‘n shoot fun

Seven years. Seven long stretches of solar revolutions around our star, that saw trends change, giants rise and titans fall in that time period. In an industry built upon turbulent change, it’s a miracle that Borderlands was still a franchise that fans couldn’t get enough of. Taking the bones of the original 2010 game and expanding upon them in a manner that had never been envisioned before, Borderlands and its first sequel kicked off a trend in video games that saw many an imitator rise but never saw a successor topple Gearbox’s glorious loot ‘n shoot from its throne.
