The Borderlands games have always done an excellent job of incorporating split-screen and this is once again the case in Borderlands 3. It looks great too, and while some may bemoan the lack of innovation, they can at least be thankful that loot drops remain free rather than being locked behind aggressive and predatory microtransactions. That's not necessarily a bad thing though, with the latest entry providing all of the same carnage and loot-oriented gameplay that made earlier entries so enjoyable. Gearbox Software's Borderlands series hasn't changed all that much since making its debut back in late 2009.
