16th May, 2016:
Battleborn is not my favorite game, BUT I've enjoyed it.

Warning: This review is my own experience of the real game.
Please, do not assume anything. I will not talk about the main story of it or ruin the story you don't know.
I do not hate the game. I wanted to pin the pros and cons down to this game.

Battleborn is in the first complete version of it and it's not one of my favorites.

Gearbox or Randy Varnell, the director of this game, has planned to make it.
So, did I like it? So-so. There's not enough character development to care about it.
It's an action aspect of the game with some RPG influences.
It's a science fantasy genre, which Battleborn has magic and.....vampires? Maybe.
I didn't find it serious when I started to play.

The humor hasn't changed in Gearbox's style. I didn't get into the mood of it,
but I admired the characters' personality they are made, some of them.

Story-wise, it's short, (I guess) simple and somehow I wasn't really convinced of it.
You can play the game lone wolf (or alone) or coop with people. My issue of
the coop is when you've gathered the 5 players in total, you start to choose the three maps
at random, not all the episodes you need to finish or to choose them freely.
This limits the new player who wants to finish the story.
But, you might need a friend of Steam to finish the story in a private server. That's a suggestion.
Coop-wise, it's fun during the episodes. Yes, they call episodes.
You can play it at normal difficulty or advanced difficulty. I can't say I haven't tried
the hardcore mode. It wasn't my mood of playing it, so I don't know about it.
It's very hard to say which episode was my enjoyment. Maybe The Sentinel.
Most of the episodes start in a fast-paced, which is kinda a little a bit confused of the story for me.

The music is not too bad technically.
It's mixed up between action classical, electronic and very few ambient ones.
Here are the composers of this game. I won't be able to name their songs are my favorite.
Raison Varner. [https://soundcloud.com/rvarner]
Kevin Riepl has some catchy and noisy rhythms that I believe they sound familiar to it.
Mike Rubino went well. [https://soundcloud.com/mikerubinomusic/sets/battleborn-soundtrack]
Cris Velasco made the main menu music. So the musicians composed it separately, between
the story mode and the PvP.
I couldn't hear the music clearly while I was playing the story mode. I tried to turn the music up, but maybe I haven't heard
the rest of the Battleborn PvP soundtrack yet.
I don't know why but the main menu music (Cris Velasco) reminds me of Hans Zimmer-ish with some electronic elements.
I can't say whenever if I like listening to this soundtrack, but this one didn't
affect me. This is my personal point of view.

I like the voice actors of the characters. It seems to me they're over the top, not so serious
and some of their quotes can beridiculous.
The character designs look good, but it could have been better. I like the design of Deande.
Some of the clothing design of Orendi resembles of a witch.
El Dragon has an aspect of a Mexican wrestler.
Character design-wise, some of the characters look good, but not interesting in a long run personally.


Now, let's go to the multiplayer aspect or the PvP aspect.
The PvP matchmaking is not doing well and it's a mess.
I had moments of desperation and stress to help the team out but the other team, the players already have 30, 40 (or there's few players of 60) command ranks, which they do have experienced the game.
I don't know how can I describe the other players that they have high ranks than me,
but I also don't want to complain the players that took disadvantage at me.
I don't see many people who bought Battleborn in Argentina, there were very few of them.
so I have to change it to US.

I think the matchmaking is a double-edged sword, between a high command rank and
a new recruit command rank.

This review may not be full detailed of pros and cons, but I hope the devs of Gearbox can fix some of these issues.

But the only major concern is the PvP matchmaking. I may suggest them to
develop a separate server browsers, the Gearbox ones. Oh, I don't know
if that also costs a lot of money to do that.
Maybe the idea of matchmaking was kinda the cheap way to do it.

I still enjoy playing this game. But until Gearbox is not releasing a new patch or not fixing something,
this review would not change my point of view.

Randy V. and the rest of the Gearbox employees who've worked on Battleborn,
you've made a good job of this project, but there's still some flaws.

Should I recommend some people
to buy this game for 60 bucks? I would say no.
Just wait for the discounts on Steam. Maybe if there's a special sale you can buy it for 20 or 30 bucks?
I think 60 bucks with the lazy matchmaking is not enough to enjoy the multiplayer aspect and
the short story of 8 episodes and one prologue in the beginning of the story mode.
