First, quick mention that it’s the Steam Autumn Sale now: Autumn Sale Featured Deep Discounts
There are significant discounts on older games and smaller discounts on more recent ones.
Other than that, I’ve been playing Borderlands 4 with some buddies. It’s… all right. The Mixed reviews on Steam is fair. Performance is abysmal even on a RTX 5080 with DLSS 4 and 4x frame gen. I currently play on Very Low graphics just to get a decent frame rate. They keep patching it but it’s just… really unoptimized, and doesn’t even look very good.
Gameplay wise, the classes are better than before, with interesting skill trees. The weapons and items are better, with more slots and interesting grenade and shield and weapon effects.
After a few hours, though, it gets pretty same-y. The story is as forgettable as ever (thank god they got rid of Claptrap, though). Many of the enemies and bosses are total bullet sponges; they’re not hard, just tedious. One boss nearly made me fall asleep… he wasn’t dangerous just had a ton of health, and it was a really drawn-out fight.
“Tedious” is how I would describe most of the game, from the long and frequent load times, to the general gameplay, to the open-world travel, to the unskippable and looooong dialogue lines. There’s a lot of waiting around between various gunfights, and then the gunfights themselves tend to be a lot of skill-less bullet-dumping.
I was really looking forward to the game, but it’s honestly just kinda meh. My friends got it for free and bought me a copy, or I probably wouldn’t have bothered… I am tempted to just edit my save game and skip to the end.
But my buddies, who have never played Borderlands games before, are having a blast. Looter-shooters as a genre are new to them… lucky bastards who aren’t so jaded yet 
I would not recommend this game right now. Maybe in a few years when the issues are patched and the ultimate edition is like $20.
On the other hand, I’ve been having a ton of fun with Mars First Logistics, a Overwhelmingly Positive $12 robot rover builder! Separate thread about that here: Mars First Logistics: Rover builder & simulator with physics modeling
