Best Sequels of 2019
Honorable Mention: Borderlands 3
Editor-in-Chief Ed McGlone: Sometimes more of the same is perfectly fine. That’s the case here with Borderlands 3.
While most of the games on this list dared to deliver something unique and fresh, Gearbox determined that the best course of action for Borderlands 3 was to give players more of what they loved about the last game with a current-gen shine.
That might sound like a knock on the game, but it’s really not. It’s been a long time since the last Borderlands game and you don’t always have to shake everything up just because its a sequel and people expect you to. Vanilla Destiny 2 says hello in that department.
The heart and soul of the franchise, its co-op FPS-RPG gameplay and its irreverent humor is all there. Gearbox upped the ante with more cooperative features, more insane guns and abilities, and improved graphics and framerates; and personally as a long time fan myself, that’s all I really wanted.
