Launch Window“The Handsome Jackpot takes place in a whole new location: a Handsome Jack-owned casino gone wrong that Moxxi wants back. For an average price, the adventure offers many new features and an entertaining story -albeit disturbed by some boring quests. It's designed for long-time fans and creative weapons lovers, but not for those who seek for an innovative extension.”

Launch Window“I had a good time with Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, at the same time this doesn’t feel like it’s anything new and I’m generally just tired of Jack.”

Launch Window“Not only is this one of the better Borderlands expansions, it does a good job of a lot of things Borderlands 3 struggled with. Not only are characters fun and the story amusing, it is a fun ride for practically anyone involved. Sure, it doesn't offer untold amounts of grinding, nor does it contain a new tier of weapon, but there is more than enough to justify the cost of entry. Between one of the highest damage weapons in the game, amusing bosses and a cute story, it's worth revisiting Borderlands 3 over.”

Launch Window“Borderlands 3: Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot is more of what fans love. Sublime shooting mechanics and inventive loot form the backbone of an assault on Handsome Jack's riches, making for a speedy riot that touches on everything wonderful about the looter shooter. This is Borderlands 3 condensed into eight hours of blistering action, and with an engaging narrative to boot, it makes for an experience that fans would be foolish to skip.”

Launch Window“Borderlands 3's first DLC is quirky and action-packed, but I was decidedly left wanting more. Hopefully the other campaigns will take more risks, but in the meantime Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot is more Borderlands, which is typically a good thing.”
