Borderlands 4 has finally hit the shelves after months of anticipation from gaming fans. The newest iteration of the looter shooter was released on September 12. The fourth game in the mainline series will have plenty of features that all fans will love, including tons of enemies to shoot, loot to collect and collectables to pick up along the way.
And like most other Borderlands games, there’s bound to be plenty of crazy whackiness throughout. Despite the anticipation, some fans of the franchise might find the near £60 price tag a little too steep, but we’ve found a deal to cut the price.
Thanks to TopCashback, fans of the game can get the game for much cheaper by signing up. New customers who sign up with an email can get £15 back on their first purchase.
After signing up, all Borderlands fans need to do is choose Argos as the retailer on the TopCashback website, which will then transfer them to the site. Then just buy the game as normal.
TopCashback will then track the purchase and reward buyers with £15 back into their TopCashback account. But here’s a quick rundown of a step-by-step guide for those who want to jump on this deal:
- Begin by signing up as a new member via this TopCashback link.
- Find Argos on the site and hit ‘Get Cashback Now’.
- Shop and check out as usual on the Argos website.
- Sit tight; cashback will track and pop up in your TopCashback account within seven working days of the transaction.
When it comes to reviews, Borderlands 4 currently stands as an 84 on Metacritic.
Destructoid reviewed the game and said: “Borderlands 4 is easily the best in the series when it comes to gameplay and fun factor, and the best overall game in the franchise since Borderlands 2, but some performance issues on PC are cause for concern.”
Game Informer was also super happy with the game and wrote: “Though many of the series’ core elements remain intact, Gearbox has refined and reconfigured them in such ways that Borderlands 4 rises beyond anything the series has accomplished to this point, making for a chaotic looter-shooter worthy of the series’ sterling early-2010s reputation.”
However, there have been some mixed feedback. GameSpot did criticise the story and said: “All in all, if uncovering loot, crafting builds, and unleashing chaotic mayhem is what you’re looking for, Borderlands 4 has you covered. It’s the most mechanically sound Borderlands game to date, and the various Vault Hunters each present an entertaining opportunity to tackle the game in a different way.
“Just maybe find a good podcast or video essay to fill the moments between the shooting and looting. The game’s story and characters aren’t strong enough to hold your attention on their own, and the game’s combat begins to drag once you’ve seen all the enemy types there are to see.”
