Every once in a while, Amazon starts slashing prices on a lot of major AAA games. It seems to be happening more frequently, which is great if you’ve been waiting for a time to build up your console or PC collection. Right now, this popular online retailer is at it again. This time, they’ve dropped Gearbox Software’s Borderlands 3 down to $33.74. Considering this game literally just came out and is one of the most popular games currently, that’s a pretty incredible deal worth biting at. This is particularly true if you’ve held out on picking up this galvanizing looter-shooter.

Borderlands 3 is one of the best installments in the series, which is pretty crazy saying based on how great the previous games were. Gearbox keeps a lot of the same elements that have propped this RPG up at the top of the charts. The cartoonish graphics are back, only this time you have way more incredible environments to explore. That was a huge focus for Gearbox heading into this latest installment. They wanted to give players more open-ended environments to explore on different planets.
Traveling from area to area is an incredible experience in its own right. If the visuals don’t take your breath away, the looting and shooting will. This recipe has never been better. There are literally thousands of guns to collect. As soon as you think you’ve found the perfect legendary weapon, there’s always something better that plays right into your favorite attributes. Even when you get farther into the main campaign, you still feel excited about collecting loot after taking down a tough boss.
Although Gearbox has always done a great job with the vault hunters in each installment, they wen’t above and beyond with these latest characters. Each one has an incredible set of special abilities that make them distinct in their own way. For example, FL4K is more of a sit back and scope things out type of character. He has several beasts as companions, who can take the fight to enemies and help FL4K when he’s getting flanked.
Then there’s Amara. She can unleash magic abilities that give her multiple arms, which can do a ton of damage to a lot of enemies at once. Once you get through the game with one vault hunter, you’ll feel compelled to jump back in with another. Lastly, Borderlands 3 looks absolutely stunning on modern consoles. It’s certainly a gem for any console or PC you own.
