3 w. ago Borderlands 4 review – the chaotic, colourful shooter has finally grown up a little

PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2; Gearbox Software/2K GamesFamiliar and predictable, but also well-honed and significantly less juvenile, the fourth Borderlands game is a blastOnce a games franchise hits its fourth outing, it is certainly mature – yet maturity is not a word generally associated with Borderlands, the colourful and performatively edgy looter-shooter from Texas.

Aside from Adolescence, which had the limited series category all sewn up, it felt like every single nomination was either for Severance or The Studio.Of these, The Studio’s ascendancy seemed most locked in. Here, after the controversy over The Bear’s deliberate lack of laughs, was a comedy comedy; something designed from the ground up to be funny. Plus, it was about the entertainment industry, which always appeals to the myopic interests of the Emmy voters. True, all of this equally applied to Hacks, but The Studio’s lead character wasn’t routinely described as a comedy genius, so there was far less dissonance when their jokes failed to land.
