Borderlands 3 is almost certainly the game that you think it is. Six hours in, a lot of my feelings remain the same as they were when I first played Borderlands 3 at an extended preview last month. In a lot of ways it’s a time capsule, in some ways embarrassingly retrograde in its sensibilities, and in other ways confident that its central draw of shooting and looting always was and will continue to be enough. Because of how little the franchise has changed, the best way to know if Borderlands 3 is for you is to boot up one of the previous games in the series and see how well it works for you today.
For a lot of gamers with demanding jobs, marriages and/or families, the excitement of reading good reviews for games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is tempered by the sinking realisation that they’ll never have time to play them.
How do you make time for a 60+ hour game when you have a busy life?
Yes, that's right. Today is your last chance to write the Shakespeare's Macbeth equivalent of a Kotaku AU comment.

Dost expect, of a Kotaku writer, to find sympathy for your plight?
They prosper, who delay posting til morning the trite they had typed overnight;
For some there be, banned and forgotten, with nothing to thank for their torment,
Save that (cached eternally in archives) which a fool did quite stupidly comment!
To hear or not to hear: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the ear to suffer
The hiss and pops of outrageously cheap cans,
Or to take arms against a sea of games,
And by entering this competition end them? To die:
to sleep: to hear;
Join the discussion!
