    Pelo preço que esta sendo vendido na Epic eu esperava uma obra prima, sem duvida um dos jogos mais caros dos últimos anos com edições que custam quase 500$ e no fim e so uma DLC requentada e mais longa, o jogo não é ruim mas o preço esta muito fora da realidade para oq esta sendo entregue

Then after another 10 hours, the combat became tedious. Boss battles, ridiculous. Reload animations just frustrating. Respawn timer, frustrating. If I wanted to be annoyed by death, I'd play Elden Ring. This game wants to be quirky and fun, but even reducing the difficulty doesn't really alter the fights that much because the mechanics themselves are just a slog.

    Key points: wave after wave of bad guys gets boring. Particularly when they shout the same things over and over. It's not a matter of skill. Just pure endurance. Can you take the painfully consistent and constant wall of the same enemies? Or will you lose focus and die?

    Boss fights in this game are uneven. In one case, I had to do 3 phases and killed the boss so fast, they barely got off an attack. In another, I couldn't even hurt them. I went off, gained 5 levels, altered all my gear and STILL could barely hurt them. I reduced the difficulty and still struggled. Though at least it was possible.

    The story is fun. I liked it. But it's not worth the hassle of the game play. I'm vaguely curious about what happens but not enough to slog through this.

    Final point, I would've loved to get some help with that boss. But matchmaking dumped me in some random person's game where I wasn't even doing anything I needed. And I couldn't find a way to quit the group. I'm done.

    People complaining that the game is 'woke'...just go back to IMDB and keep brigading there. You're out of your minds.    … Expand

The original Borderlands formula worked thanks to the looter/shoot dynamic and placing it a world of great characters and fantastic locations. Well, it still has the loot/shoot part but now it feels outdated and dull. Borderlands 1 and 2 will still be two of my all time favourite games. In fact I loved the 2nd game so much I clocked over 300 hours on steam playing different modes, characters and through all the dlc. But with this game I felt bored and unchallenged. One new things it adds is the addition of an rpg style over-world where you move an icon around a field map, well it simply did not work for me, especially as it adds random battles to the mix which in an FPS is a failed experiment in my opinion.
    Overall, really disappointed, it feels like the devs just want to keep milking the same cash cow.    … Expand

Writing wise, I would like to see a Tiny Tina game or expansion where her character arc isn't "I'm depressed and lonely". There could have been more development from the first DLC in BL2 for her. Voice acting was on point, Ashley, Andy, and Wanda did a great job in their roles in the game. Overall I gave this a 4 for frustrating gameplay and lack of weapon/loot diversity. Bonus: If you're going to give me an option to hold a button down to scroll through the end game credits, you need to give me an option to skip the credits as well. I held down on my joystick for 8 minutes as the concept art screens repeated through a sea of credits.… Expand

    Loot luck system is stupid. You have to find a lot of dice JUST TO BE LUCKY ENOUGH to find legendary weapons OFTEN. This artificial extension gameplay is ANNOYING. First-person-shooter action and story are OK, though.

    The voice acting is good, so much better than Borderlands 3, but that's it. Samberg, Sykes, and Arnett are all it has going for it (fwiw, anyone complaining about the "politics" is just overly sensitive)

    It is the opposite of BL3; instead of great game with awful characters it's a very dull game with decent characters.

    Also, this was my first purchase on Epic (I usually wait for Steam - but am a diehard BL fan) and it made the bad experience exponentially worse.

    Game keeps crashing. Had to turn of XMP to even play it. Gameplay is ok but honestly I'm kinda bored after 6 hours, this should be enough to get me hooked, right? I played all BL games myself and I'm still a BL2 fanboy. Nothing feels meaningful, especialy not the loot. I'm fully epic at lvl 10, shouln'd be that way.

This is a shame, because some of the writing is quite funny, whereas a lot of it does come off very childish, probably because they're trying to avoid offending anyone and so resort to too much toilet humour level jokes which wears thin quite quickly.
    The second reason I was disappointed was the gameplay. I feel the FPS genre has moved forward with faster and more challenging games, with the best being Doom Eternal. If you also loved DE, you'll probably find this far too easy (even on 'intense', which changes nothing apart from damage given and received) and boring, and I'd recommend avoiding it completely. If you like an easier game, and don't mind the gameplay loop being very repetitive against the same types of enemies, it might be worth giving it a try.    … Expand

Do they feel represented? There are no male or female description for voice in case it offends anyone - only "A" and"B" - you have to experiment to discover how to make your voice not sound like a typical man. Why why why? How is this progress? If anything it's sexist against males and females. How is it not sexist to deny their existence even remove the terms they identify as?

    And the humor - IMO Borderlands was defined by its humor being irreverent satirical rude risque, absurd. Because they have adopted this ultra PE political etos where no one can be offended they can't make any amusing jokes - they can't send people up, they cannot have inappropriate characters or even truly nasty ones, you cannot laugh at how wrong something is, and probably the worst thing you cannot laugh at yourself, because you can't be hypocritical flawed a mix of good and bad, only what you proclaim to be. It's all so depressing. They have destroyed the series' greatest strength: its humor.

    The shooting is good. But I can't play it, it feels like a piece of software designed to indoctrinate people. It takes you out of the game at every step. That's not why I buy games -or any art. The reverse actually. I prefer things that question and send up conventions, ideologies and sacred cows. Or I like art to help me escape from the news and politics for a while into a different world.

    I've never been involved in the anti woke brigade, it's not an issue for me. But this is getting absurd. You are driving people away with this phony BS.

    The gameplay is fine. If you liked the way BL3's gunplay and levelling felt, you'll like the way Wonderlands feels.

The overworld is a nice twist, and the core pitch would have been brilliant: Take a series that had clear inspiration from MMORPG's loot ranking systems, the writing of a satirist, and the art direction of a graphic novel, then give it 2 cans of redbull and tell it to play dungeon master for 20 hours.

    Trouble is, it doesn't deliver on that the way you'd expect a Borderlands game to do.

    Instead, we get a game that's nearly devoid of the cool wit and gleefully hyperbolic satire of the first two Borderlands games. In its place, we get quest and character writing that's so crudely unbalanced in its worldview that it makes the Babylon Bee's depictions of the left feel comparatively sane. Instead of the pure, apolitical silliness that an ADHD teenager could bring to the D&D table, we get a story that feels tired and a little disingenuous, as though it was handed a few too many revision notes from corporate and lost its creativity in favor of one-sided preachiness.

    If you are offended by this claim, or find it excessive, consider that in the first 4-5 hours of gameplay alone, we get:
    - A character creator that will give you oddly specific names for every setting of every facet of the body except for the one that designates male and female body types
    - A sidequest in which you try to help a genuinely creepy lesbian get laid
    - A sidequest that is quite literally a marxist revolution led by a pacifist bearded female goblin.
    - An irreverent metrosexual paladin voiced by someone who jarringly played a woman in borderlands 3.

    Heck, even with the game's player callouts, gearbox can't help but point out that the player character is bisexual. I'm sorry, I was under the impression that I'd be inventing *my own* character this time.

    If it's not clear, the thing I dislike about this game, and what earns it such a low score, is that they constantly break immersion with the world for some obnoxious political point. And it's not a trivial amount of content that's this way. We're talking about entire multi-part sidequests built around these political points, hammering them home so bluntly that it makes you wonder if this game is actually a riff on the communist manifesto instead of the D&D handbook. That is not what was advertised, nor is it what I paid to get.

    Is it possible to write a good story imbued with political viewpoints? Even ones I disagree with? Yes. Totally. Borderlands 1 & 2 had plenty of themes expressed in them I'd never agree with, including criticism of capitalism and commentary on sex and sexuality. Wonderlands' writing is just clumsy. It won't even do the job they're hoping it will do in convincing others of their point of view. Instead it gets lost in the clamor of every other company falling all over themselves to promote a warped interpretation of what it means to love and care about each other.

    And, lest we forget: such a message makes *absolutely no sense* in the universe Borderlands initially set up for itself.

    Borderlands' original appeal was grinding through a bloodbath of comic-booky cell-shaded homicidal maniacs with your friends while playing as a slightly less homicidal maniac in order to find cool guns and achieve the ultimate goal of becoming filthy rich and famous...and coincidentally befriending a few other maniacs along the way. How we got from that to broken co-op at launch, flat jokes, neo-marxism, and affirming gender identity as the standout features of the series is beyond me.    … Expand

    Borderlands had its share of bugs, broken abilities and boring levels, but it always made up for it with humor and charm. Not anymore: Gearbox lost its best writers, so in Wonderlands it struggles even with established characters, and new ones fall completely flat. [Issue#260, p.42]

    Tiny Tina's Wonderland is not only a DnD parody, it's wonderfully mocked by the many universes and characters that exist. If you love classic Borderlans action and are interested in the world of FRP, it's a wonderland where you'll both laugh a lot and have a lot of fun playing.

    It is abundantly clear that the creative team behind Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands are massive RPG fans who have crafted a joyous blend of Borderlands mayhem with RPG epic-ness. I loved the story, characters, gameplay, and production values of this game. I should also mention that while I primarily played this game single-player, multiplayer co-op is supported because looter-shooters and tabletop RPGs are more fun with friends. First-person shooter games are not my preferred genre, but after playing Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, I would be game to try out a mainline Borderlands game and Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep. For making me a new fan of something outside my wheelhouse, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands wholeheartedly earns a spot as one of my favorite games of 2022.
