Borderlands 4 delivers deep, tricky FPS combat, but it still hasn't hooked me

Gearbox's deep dives into Borderlands 4's seemingly endless combat systems have left me pretty stunned. Cherry-picking and evolving some of the best bits of the previous games, and adding in some new layers too, the amount being promised is mind-blowing. But when everything comes together, how do they feel? At Gamescom, I was able to get around 25 minutes of hands-on time with Borderlands 4, trying out one of its new Primordial Vaults, and while there were certainly some impressive aspects, it didn't sink its hooks into me quite like I hoped it would.
