Borderlands 4’s Pandora Should Be More Like BL2 and Less Like BL3

Apart from captivating gameplay and a compelling storyline, aesthetics also play a significant role in game appeal, etching a long-lasting memory in gamers’ hearts. Borderlands has had many memorable installments, but Borderlands 2 was a visual beauty in particular, as Vault Hunters embarked on a characteristically thrilling but fun-filled journey across Pandora. This landscape became an iconic backdrop for adventure in the player’s quest to stop the nefarious Handsome Jack, from its snow-capped glaciers to the tundras and fiery volcanic mountains. Fans expected the colorful scenery to continue in Borderlands 3, but Gearbox Software backtracked, returning to the barren desert wastelands reminiscent of Borderlands 1. With Bethesda’s new release, Starfield, leaving gamers in awe with its depiction of The Settled Systems, Gearbox is under pressure to deliver a visual stunner in Borderlands 4.
