Pandora, its guns by the truckload and a pen stroke that pops like a comic page.

Let's start with the gut choice, and it disappoints: when the community picks on feel alone, Borderlands only edges ahead of 5% of games. That's low. Really low. Yet the detail softens it. Fun climbs back up, ahead of 74% of titles, on a single vote so take it lightly, but it fits the game's energy. The art style holds the middle, ahead of a third of games, surprising for such recognizable cel-shading. Against that, the desert island, attachment and above all the controller feel stay low, the latter ahead of only 13% of titles. The tension is plain: a game that's fun to fire up, but struggles to win you over when the heart chooses without thinking.

In the looter-shooter family, it's a typical case: you come back for the fun and the loot, less for deep attachment or pure aiming bliss.

So, who's it for? For you if you want fun on a loop, loot and a style that stands out. Much less if you want a game adored on instinct, one you bond with for good.
