If you have already played through to level 60 and collected appropriately powerful weapons, the main story in Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck will add 3-4 hours to the gameplay (more, if like me, you spend a heap of time switching between new weapons). However, if you jump in a little earlier on the levelling, I expect that this could take somewhat longer, particularly if you want to complete all the available side quests.

In the end the expansion offers more loot, more adventures, and a few hours of diversion; but for me was the least engaging and interesting of the four DLC offerings for the game. That being said; I did have fun even if it was not as much as with the prior expansions and I hope that more DLC will be coming soon and Gearbox has teased some new announcements coming soon, perhaps as soon as today at PAX Online.

If Borderlands 3 is what happens when a modern looter shooter doesn’t concern itself with the longevity of its item economy and daily quests then you can sign me up for Borderlands 4 right now. Being untethered from persistent servers and able to trade loot at will is a refreshing change of pace, but that’s hardly the only reason why this such an amazing co-op FPS. The sheer magnitude and diversity of its arsenal of fun and surprising weaponry is unmatched, and the striking amount of loving detail and variety packed into its energetic and replayable 30-hour campaign is what makes Borderlands 3 a high-point for the series – and the genre as a whole.

Although it can feel slow-going at times, Borderlands 3: Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck benefits from its lore-heavy framework and a clear focus on one major character. If Gearbox has anything to say about it, this isn't the end of Borderlands 3's DLC, despite the fact that this is the final expansion of the first season pass. There's plenty of room for improvement if it is meant to be.

Fustercluck doesn't add anything that feels super new, it at least offers up an incredibly Borderlands-y expansion filled with meat chunks and silly weapons - and it's the only game this year that'll let you shoot down the actual moon, go on a mini quest to retrieve it, load it into a catapult and use it to batter down the walls of a meat castle. So, y'know, there's that.

Meterse en la bipolar mente de Krieg ha sido toda una experiencia desquiciante, pero en el mejor de los sentidos. Regresa uno de los mejores personajes de Borderlands 3 y, aunque echamos de menos tenerlo nuevamente de forma controlable (o que el Pase de Temporada hubiera añadido cualquier otro Buscacámaras), es sin duda el mejor de los DLCs de Borderlands 3 repleto de humor, tiroteos, secretos y mucha carne.
