    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.

    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.

    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.

    IF YOU WANT AN ACTUALL GOOD REVIEW READ THIS ONE TRUST ME. Thanks

    I had fun playing it one time but i really don't have the feeling like in borderlands 3 where I played every Character to the Max. There aren't enough Legendaryies and even worse there aren't so many good Legendaries so everyone just uses purple stuff. And it's pretty unbalanced, Pixies are just destroying

    I had fun playing it one time but i really don't have the feeling like in borderlands 3 where I played every Character to the Max.

    There aren't enough Legendaryies and even worse there aren't so many good Legendaries so everyone just uses purple stuff.

    And it's pretty unbalanced, Pixies are just destroying everything and other classes just don't have the same potential as the spellshot class.

    Also it's much shorter than borderlands 3, I think if I try hard enough i could finish the game in under 10 hours for sure. You have too grind between missions but not much which is good but it's really short.

    The bosses don't really have such an amazing design and attack which isn't bad but a slight inconvinience, some bosses you can't even replay so you can only do him once per story run and that's just ****

    The Chaos Chamber. Well at first I fought it would be better than the Slaughter Shafts in Borderlands 3 but It's really the same after a while.

    You have some different maps between stages, different enemys, maybe even small boss fight or some small secret events you have to do to fight a secret boss at the end.

    At first you think well that's so much better than the Slaughter Shaft but after 20 to 30 runs it's just lame.

    Yes you have secret boss fight, Yes you can choose your loot at the end, Yes you can get better loot if you choose the right gems.

    But eventually you beat the bosses all atleast once.
    But the secret bosses don't change, and they are just a living sponge with small raid mechanics, in wich you can kill them but without they just have too much health.
    But even though you can choose your loot, me and all of my friends somehow never get the loot we need and if you really want to get more loot or a higher chance to get loot you have to go throuh every map in the game and collect all dice to get more luck.

    The humor is also really bad in this one.
    I Personally think it's a downgrade too the earlier Borderlands games.

    I don't know what is happening at Gearbox. BL1 and BL2 were great games.

    BL3 was good mechanically, but the writing fell apart.

    Tiny Tina Wonderlands's the writing and the mechanics both fell apart.

    not a good game. not a good story. this is NOT like Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, which was amazing.

    Wonderlands seems to be aimed at 6-year olds. forget about all the weird politically-based crap--it's just a horrible game. I could forgive the political crap if the game was good.

    I wrote this at about halfway through and stopped playing, I still feel the criticisms are valid so will leave it in.

    Review for first half of the game: I thought Borderlands 3 was bad but playing this surprised me, it's so bad I can't bring myself to even finish it

    Characters and story are unfunny, boring and annoying
    Quests are really boring, having to wait for long dialogue you can't skip all the time
    Spells are a big disappointment, not nearly enough types and most of them feel the same
    Same goes for the guns, this is the first borderlands game where there isn't really any guns I like. Feels like there's a lot less variety with weapons

    However, the classes are pretty cool and you can have two at once and the overland is kinda nice I guess

    While the gameplay is still fun and chaotic, the game itself is becoming super polítical, from the character creator you realized something's off, then you meet the paladin and it gets worse from there, the game is a political activist's wet dream, and is very annoying.

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.

    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.
