Tedious boss fights, other parts OK

User Rating: 3 | Borderlands 3 XONE

I am always disappointed with games that lean on bullet-sponge boss fights to provide challenge. Those, for me at least, only provide boredom. Also, sometimes the quest pointer is misleading and Borderlands 3 seems to rely considerably on making people run around and figure out 3-D mazes instead of enjoying the game doing something productive. I like the fight mechanics and the myriads of weapons and the various dialogs. Like the graphics as well, just disappointed in another overused boring game mechanic. Also would be nice if the chest drops don't require you to pause and wait near the drops for 1-3 seconds to pick up the stuff. That also seems like a mechanic designed to extend playtime without increasing actual playing.
