Borderlands 4 Continues The Trend Of Making Sirens The Most Fun To Play

Look, I respect it. I think it’s cool to consistently label the Vault Hunter that’s most fun to play across multiple games with the same title of “Siren” so that I and so many others can correctly pick who to play for our first playthrough of whatever the latest Borderlands game is. And who wouldn’t want to play as the Siren, the mystic-like class that can warp reality with their mind to support allies or unleash massive destruction? No one, that’s who. So, of course, Borderlands 4’s resident Siren, Vex, is going to be a blast.Now, granted, when I played Borderlands 4 for three hours at a preview event, we were only allowed to try two of the four playable Vault Hunters: the aforementioned Vex, and Rafa, the Soldier. “So you don’t know for sure then, huh?” I hear you ask. And, sure, maybe the Gravitar or Forge Knight do end up being more fun to play than Vex. I doubt it, though. Lilith, Maya, and Amara are my favorite characters in their respective games, so why would Vex break that trend?Especially since Borderlands 4 clearly does not break trends anywhere else. The latest entry does change things up by adding long-requested features, like implementing firearm customization, more types of movement, and quality-of-life features, and replacing auto-healing with healing items. But even if it does play better (a lot better in some cases–healing whenever I want is a game-changer), this still feels like every Borderlands game that came before it. If you have played Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, or Borderlands 3, you already know whether you’re going to enjoy Borderlands 4. The answer was inside you all along! The trends remain unbroken! Borderlands 4 looks to be a familiar experience that continues to deliver what fans want from the series.Continue Reading at GameSpot
