    I bought it to play in cross-play with my friend. We wanted to play Borderlands like couple years ago in co-op. Unfortunately the game is not playable at the moment. Servers are constantly down so you can't use any of the Internet related options. And what you get from Gearbox for all the wasted time and money? One key for in-game loot box.

    I was convinced once again that it is not worth trusting game developers, and to never buy pre-orders in the future.
    I hope I will be able to change my score to higher after they fix al the problems.    … Expand

    Following the disappointment that was Borderlands 2.1, Gearbox has released yet another Borderlands 2 DLC as a standalone $60+ title.

    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.

    Game is so boring to play. Ive loved all the other borderland games but this is just so different. The gameplay feels so slow but somehow still feeling similar. Could not even finish the game it was that tedious. never got any legendary and or epics and when i did they were usually cosmetic. dont buy this game that wasted a good $90 from me

    This game is so unnecessarily annoying. You can't make a female character, as apparently the categories of male and female don't exist anymore, so you have to spend an hour in character creation to make someone who does not look like a man or who doesn't have a distinctly "masculine" style - because nearly all options are short hair and lantern jawed, no eyelashes etc. Is that cool forThis game is so unnecessarily annoying.

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. I am not paying money to be conditioned to behave and think a certain way. I'm out. Well done Gearbox, you have offended me. That’s quite hard to do!    … 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

    The fact that the meme came from a writer for borderlands, tweeting about souls games lore, makes it even more incredible since this dumb "writer" (for a medium that is oversaturated with **** writing) whose only credit is a series that has notoriously awful writing, lashes out in jealous misdirected anger at minimal writing in a good game that has a passionate fanbase.

    Even funnier when you realize his twitter fit isn't the first time he's taken potshots at FromSoft. In fact, there's an entire mission in Borderlands 3 where they desperately try to dunk on the souls series: its called Demon_in_the_Dark and it features such gems as

    >"Eridium... I had hoped it to be an offering to Alkonost and Azamak-mur, but both are lost. What sorrow, what sorrow. All that's left to me now is seek out the fabled city of Iktok-gofeldor-maruun. Surely you've heard of it? No? What sorrow!"

    Fromsoft seems to REALLY make Gearbox seethe.

    Then they drop tiny tina with its horrible UI and writing.

    Soibois with pink controllers who have a wall full of Funko pops play this - Their lives are very confused and unfulfilled since they have no real identity or purpose so they try to fill the void with stupid crap instead of trying to develop their own personality.

    Tiny tina proves that games aren't designed for people who play for fun, they're designed for people who review them. Reviewers never play a game more than once (if at all) and they're jaded from playing hundreds of videogames as part of their job (and yet somehow never learned to be good at them).

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.

    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.
