AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Helldivers 2

Like Borderlands, Helldivers 2 throws you into chaotic, cooperative first-person shooting action against hordes of alien threats, but with a satirical military sci-fi twist and a focus on objective-based missions.

The Outer Worlds

If you loved Borderlands' blend of sci-fi humor and first-person RPG combat, The Outer Worlds offers a similar experience, trading the wasteland for corporate-controlled colonies with a strong emphasis on player choice and narrative.

Deep Rock Galactic

Swap Borderlands' bandits for space dwarves and their loot for minerals in this co-op sci-fi shooter. It captures the same procedural mission variety and satisfying gunplay, but with destructible environments and a strong class-based system.
