On October 21, New Tales from the Borderlands will be released. Critics have already published their reviews on Metacritic. The game received 71 points out of 100.

Here's What We Know

The opinions of journalists about the game do not coincide. One half says that the characters are very interesting and well-developed, and the game world is deep and rich. They also note the story, humor and adventure spirit, which are at the highest level. In general, in the best style of the Borderlands series.

Another part of critics notes that there is no adequate character development, and the plot is not felt as a whole. For some, the franchise has stopped evolving, and New Tales suffers from an uninteresting story and annoying attempts at humor. The lowest rating for the game was given by Destructoid, who briefly wrote: "This game is a soulless meat grinder, no matter who made it or what series it belongs to."

Fans of the Borderlands series will have the last word. But given the mixed reviews from journalists, players can also be divided into two camps.
