Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

Where do i even start?

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is definitely a different Borderlands, but honestly, I had a really good time with it. I know a lot of Borderlands fans didn't really like it, and I can understand some of the criticism, but I think the D&D-style setting gives the game a really nice identity. It feels like Borderlands, but with a fantasy twist, and the whole idea of playing through Tina's ridiculous version of a tabletop RPG is genuinely fun. The map is also something I really enjoyed. Instead of simply driving around a normal open world, you have this tabletop-style overworld where you move around between different areas. It's a small change, but it gives the game a different feeling from the other Borderlands games. And obviously, the gameplay is still Borderlands. Shooting, looting, ridiculous weapons, abilities, builds and explosions are all here, but now you also have spells and melee weapons. Mixing the fantasy mechanics with the traditional Borderlands gunplay actually works surprisingly well. I also enjoyed the story more than I expected. It's not going to beat Borderlands 2 for me, but the humor and the whole D&D concept make it entertaining, and there are some genuinely fun moments and characters. My biggest problem comes later in the game. The endgame is much more repetitive than what I'm used to from Borderlands. Once you've reached that point, farming doesn't feel nearly as rewarding or exciting, because you're doing very similar content over and over again. That's probably the biggest reason I don't see myself putting the same ridiculous number of hours into Wonderlands that I did with other Borderlands games. But during the main game? Extremely enjoyable. It's not the best Borderlands, and I understand why some fans were disappointed, but I think people sometimes forget that it's trying to be something a little different. A really fun fantasy version of Borderlands. The D&D setting, map, gameplay and story all work surprisingly well, even if the endgame gets repetitive much faster than the other games.
