    This game is not a DLC. Its a full game with 25 hours of gameplay. Who says its a DLC should replay spiderman miles morales to see how long a standalone dlc is. This game is awesome.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't confirm this, but after playing the whole game and seeing the message before the credits. The devs state that they wanted make something with a positive message as they realized impact of being forced to stay home and away from people. It seems pretty clear that this game was a damaged product of the pandemic. Thats why its not formally titled borderlands. It is very different in tone. Much less comedy centred. The overall game is much more minimalist. I wish it was advertised as such because a lot of people are coming into this thinking its the next borderlands. It isn't. Thus it shouldn't be judged entirely on that basis.

    + nice maps and world design. + Classes are and okay improvement. We get to chose the trees rather than the character being predefined. Mostly under the hood focused though. + Movement system and combat slightly improved. + Characters like frette, the dragonlord and other side characters are good. + half the side quests are good.

    +/--- Story is trying to be more PG. It sorta tries to have a "nice" feeling, but doesn't consistently maintain it. Often turning its "nice" appearance into an awkward gameplay joke about how we will always do the violent thing because its borderlands. Much of the game is middle ground. Some areas are terrible, but there are still great moments scattered around.
    +/- Constant enemy scaling. This hurts progression, but it does have its benefits with all loot being up to date with your level.
    +/- Overworld. The game board element is going to come to preference. It doesn't need to be here, but its heavily connected to the theme of this game. Its fine for what it is.

    - issues with servers at launch (mostly patched now). - Horribly rough early game. Takes a long time to get things going. - the other half of the side quests are boring. - Many of the other characters are boring.

    ***I rated it an 8 to counter idiotic 0s. Its a 6.

    ***Game is clearly appeasing the woke crowd, but awkwardly enough it sometimes seems like they are low key making fun of it. Some are exaggerating the extent of its impact. When you listen closely to whats being said sometimes.

    SPOILERS. The early game is an extremely slow start. Witholding many of the good parts of the modified combat for too long. A lot of the worst characters are used early. The game gets better after Torgue breaks character and returns to his normal self(while nuking the ocean with "magic missiles" so its not in the way. Declaring that he doesn't like the way the games going.). The main story point is actually shockingly good when it reveals itself. In a flashback kind of visual monologue from the Dragonlord we are shown that the game is about the psychology of Tiny Tina being a teenager that has only experienced violence. It defines the impact of the wars in BL2 and 3 that lead to deaths of many of the people she knows. Reflecting her behaviour throughout the game. Sadly this doesn't cover most of the game. Which is this games greatest fault.    … Expand

    The server issues are only a problem if you plan on playing with a friend, otherwise you're more than good to go.

    The game itself is good. Nothing less and nothing more then I expected from the "Borderlands" series. Classic type of humor and good gameplay in the fantasy type of world. That's a shame that a game gets rev bombing because of Epic launcher and some server problems in the first day.

    it's good fun with friends as always (if the servers aren't down)

    Story: the Jokes are a little childish just as the story. that being said the game plays itself threw the fantasy of a 9 year old. So real adult themes would feel out of place. It is very much like a d&d game with weird events chaos and some silliness. it doesn't take itself serious so you probably should not either.

    BEWARE: a sexist or racists might want to skip this one before you get a rage boner. This game is very progressive and as I see in these reviews below that's enough to turn people down. SMH

    the guns: the fun weapons in borderlands is what make it special and there are plenty of special weapons in this one with fun references from everywhere. that being said. the snipers feel next to useless with very low damage output. most pistols out damage the snipers which is a little sad.

    fun game overall.    … Expand

I would even say it rivals Borderlands 2 writing. I know a lot modern gamers are used to bland dialogue that lacks ingenuity. Because of that, I could see how they would get confused that there's actual dialogue, and plot development.

    The launch day multiplayer fiasco is standard for all AAA releases, so I'm not going to hold that to this title. Unfortunately, it's just expected at this point. People love to write off a game immediately because of issues like that rather than trust that it will be fixed. Also, the multiplayer function is not what makes a game good or bad. People are just mad that they can't multiplay at the moment, so they rage review as a coping mechanism.

    To those complaing about crashes; my game has not crashed since I started playing. I have 24 hours logged. Wonderlands is way more well-optimized than Borderlands 3 ever has been. I get a consistent 140fps, and it runs smooth as silk. Most of the reviews here are people raging about the multiplayer not working. This is not indicative of the game as a whole. Frankly, metacritic should have something in place that removes reviews if it's just going to be people writing what should be sent to 2K Support, and not be taken as an informed opinion.

    This is not another Borderlands game. It may run on the same engine, have the same characters, and other similarities; but Wonderlands stands out on its own.

    Finally, there's one review here where the author projects his own insecurities towards FromSoftware, and tries to spin it as if FS is somehow living rent-free in GBX's head. Dude, who hurt you? I promise you that you're the only one thinking this. Take a chill pill, followed by some grammar classes, then come back to the game.

    TLDR; game good, multiplayer will be fixed. Don't listen to any review that bases itself off of multiplayer functionality.    … Expand

    Don't be bothered about all that ''woke **** people are complaining about, it really isn't that bad, you can make a male or female character if you want, people are straight out lying and dialogue wasn't lgbdq+ woke whatever.

Again being "woke" is just so these companies can avoid being scrutinized, but the game itself overshadows the shoehorned stuff which really is like .001% of content so far.

    Gearbox always clearly wanted to make a fantasy RPG, and they made a good one. It's a fantastic game. Tons of homage to fantasy tropes, feels like they somehow made a fantasy with guns setting work, and they toned down the boring, over saturated feel of the previous BL games for a more challenging and rewarding experience where you actually have to try to min-max and gear right to get a workable build, like action RPGs should be.

    The art is beautiful, it plays somehow like a shooter RPG, the skills are fun, the drop rates are balanced, and the writing is legitimately funny.

    Most fun I've had with a game in years. I hope they stick with this new formula instead of the mess that BL3 was. Reminds me of BL2, even BL1, or even a shooter version of classic ARPGs like D2. Love it. "Woke stuff" seems unnecessary (everyone does it nowadays to avoid scrutiny), but it's really not that big of a deal.

    It’s the Borderlands 3 that I had wanted. Improvements on equipment and skills, and the ability to multiclass is excellent. Not everyone’s going to like the humor, but as a DnD player it’s pretty spot on for me. Only issues are a smattering of non game breakkng bugs and the horrible UI that they still havent fixed.

    Awesome new way of a Borderlands like shoot and loot rpg! I like the new theme and instead of specific characters we have classes, which gives it a unique new way to enjoy the borderlands franchise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an amazing game. To begin with I have played every other borderlands game including the pre sequel and tell tale series. I have already put in 200+ hours and I feel that I have experienced almost all parts of this game. To start with, yes you can choose to only use spells or only go melee, or even stick to traditional borderlands style and use the guns. Depending on the class you choose, this is most definitely a possibility. People seemed to be upset that you could choose your pronouns, and I love what borderlands did with this. In most cases I feel that these things are shoved in people's faces to be inclusive. this game instead decided to make it a quick pick, and it just effects the text for your skills. Perfect way of making this inclusive, while not shoving it down everyone's throats. The gameplay is very polished with the pacing of quests, battles, and loot drops. I believe the idea to make your loot drop increase as you play the game was also a great idea as to not have a repeat of borderlands 3s loot drop rates. The jokes and dialogue are also appropriate. The music however definitely was a bit of a disappointment. I found that in many maps, the music either wouldn't play, would be too quiet, wouldn't be relative to the current battle, or it would sound very lazyily made by only repeating a few notes over and over again. There are some bugs, but this game is still very new and hasn't gone through many patches yet. I don't think that this game beats borderlands 2 for me, and I don't think anything will that they make. Borderlands 2 will always be special and the story just can't be beat, but I like that this games goal wasn't to do that. There is also a massive amount of gameplay here, and there is only more to come. End game is wonderful with the chaos system, and feels like a overhauled version of borderlands 3s mayhem mode. Also I'm not sure why it matters so much that this game came out on the epic store. It doesn't change the fact that I can play with friends, and it runs no differently from games on other launchers. player callouts also got a setting to turn off which is great because after a while they do get boring, but remember, YOU CAN TURN THEM OFF. I also don't think that because there's a side quest about freeing goblins that wonderlands goal was to preach about politics lmao. Also server issues will be fixed soon, the game is new, there's bound to be issues that they didn't foresee like player count. Overall, I love this game, story, gameplay, loot, and concept, and if you don't find the looter shooter genre fun, then no one's making you play it. I'm excited to see what new DLCs come out and what gameplay comes next.

    Quick add-on,(this doesn't include people who had actual points and left poor reviews just the very odd ones), but the poor reviews for this game make no sense, either they haven't even played it, or somehow haven't learned the game mechanics. Like bruh saying there is no female representation or it's sexist, or political literally makes no sense. Also theirs settings to fix half of these issues. And people are complaining about the game trying to be inclusive. Wonderlands did this the best way they could have. So retuning the game because theirs a single setting to pick pronouns so that your skills say he attacks instead of she is just stupid lol. Also the end boss fight was hot.    … Expand

    Ive played all the boderlands games and loved every one of them. My initial thought of this game was that it was a huge DLC turned into a spinoff game. But i think they added enough into it where it could be its own game.

    The board idea was ok, there wasnt enough in the Overworld for me to explore other than the shrine pieces, which felt more of a chore than anything for me to get. The    Ive played all the boderlands games and loved every one of them. My initial thought of this game was that it was a huge DLC turned into a spinoff game. But i think they added enough into it where it could be its own game.

    The board idea was ok, there wasnt enough in the Overworld for me to explore other than the shrine pieces, which felt more of a chore than anything for me to get. The random encounters was more of an annoyance for me, I only did them like a handful of times. The arena based dungeons dawned on me after a while but they were still fun, a couple more maps wouldve been nice, also wouldnt be bad if they raised the mob density a little.

    The enemies were awesome and diverse, love how they transitioned them to fit the theme and still made them all quirky in a BL way. I found some of them hiding behind cover for way too long and would just chill there, forcing me to chase them down. Couple that with bad enemy spawns and it stagnates the flow of running arenas. Its not a major issue but in a game where the main objective is to grind, it definitely could be improved.

    Characters were enjoyable and quirky/funny at times and at times kind of dull. The cast was great and their dialogue throughout the campaign never really bored me per say. Of course the return of Tiny Tina was awesome, shes a staple in the series and who better to tell the story of Wonderlands?...With that said, I couldnt help but to brush this off as a DLC story. It just felt like it was missing more than it gave in terms of the campaign and its characters. Nonetheless, I appreciate them trying something new, the series needs a breath of fresh air.

    The character creation was a huge improvement because you weren't just picking 1 of 6 character classes and slapping skins on them like in previous games, you were creating a unique character that suited you with TONS of customization options. Everything from eyes, lips, hair, color of skin, primary/ secondary/trim color, tattoos, eye shadows, voice lines and much more that you can change on the fly! It adds so much more creativity to the game than just painting over a model.

    The UI could always use some work but this time round it was a little easier to navigate in terms of the colors used in the skills/inventory menu and the map. Switching from blue to grey and yellow overlay just felt right, I hope they keep that in future games One thing that they cant seem to get right is the inventory, it just feels like they need to completely overhaul it with a better system.

    The guns were ok, love that they have crossbow weapons and dark energy (life steal) as a new element, its something fresh brought into the game. Spells are amazing! Im playing the spellshot and oh man, the different combination you can integrate into your build beats out grenade mods all day. The weapons overall felt no different other than the gameplay in itself, it was more responsive and tighter in control.

    The skill tree was the biggest improvement overall, taking 2 classes and combining them to create a build accompanied with a large variety of weapons and affixes is a game changer! I only have one character and the fact that I can explore so much more in terms of builds makes me want to try them all.

    Last but not least, the end game. Chaos chambers. Ive only done a handful of runs and im loving it so far. I thought about it and honestly, what better game to put a roguelike in than in borderlands, where you are shooting and looting all the while building up your character to further your progression. It saves you from doing boss runs over and over again to get the loot you want and broadens your options in the path you want to take in progressing towards your build. Do you want more gems so you can roll on more barfing bunnies? Make it harder and challenge yourself for a better gem drop rate. You want to get the loot quicker? Skip the difficulty and go straight to the chest. Theres also 20 chaos levels and even have an elite mode that I havent tried yet. Buffs and debuffs that both help your run in power and amount of loot you get. Re-rolling your enchantments is a weight off your shoulders too. How many times have you farmed a weapon with great stats and a crappy "anointed" affix in BL3? Only to grind and find the same weapon with a better anoint and crappy stat? These are all great improvement in terms of grinding gear. It's enough to where runs dont feel dull and changes up the formula in a good way.

    I think this should be a staple in the series instead of trying new end game grind content. Take this and improve upon the system by adding new maps, new enemies, new bosses, new items, new buffs/debuffs, and new builds over time and I think the series is headed in a good direction.

    Overall, great game, great ideas and a better end game. 7.5/10 and an extra .5 for my bias towards the series.    … Expand

    This is just a review to counter the unneccesary review bombing and overly negative reviews. Is the new DLC bad? Yes, but it's one of four DLC, usually won't be bought on it's own and shouldn't be a reason to write off the game immediately. I've bought the game today, after the bigger patch and can't complain about bugs (except the vending machine scrolling breaking).

    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.
