Lone ranger
With open worlds larger than ever, we appreciate the developers designing denser sandbox levels. Ever since the excellent GoldenEye on Nintendo 64, we’ve been a fan of the sandbox format: the idea that a single stage can be approached in a dozen different ways, whether it’s stealth, full-on combat, or a combination of both. Hitman...

Play with other platforms
If you play Borderlands 3 on PlayStation 5 or PS4, you're actually missing out on a feature all the other versions have — crossplay.
