How it feels

It feels like a chaotic, gravity-defying loot fiesta full of over-the-top guns and snappy one-liners, best enjoyed with friends.

What players say

Players praise the backstory of Handsome Jack and the vault hunter abilities, but opinions split on level design and mechanics. Some reviewers call it the best in the series, while others find it the weakest, with complaints about repetitive quests, unbalanced difficulty, and bad jump physics. By 2026, co-op is reportedly broken.
