Unfortunately, there’s no auto-loot system, so you’ll spend a good chunk of your time staring at the ground trying to make sure the items you’re picking up are worthwhile. The game is constantly vomiting up gear, so you’ll drive yourself crazy if you try to take everything. The UI is absolutely horrible, and I hated having to spend five minutes for every 30 or so I played managing my inventory.
When an arbitrary limit prevents you from doing the former, it gets incredibly frustrating. The whole point of this looter shooter is to loot and shoot.
Of course, the inventory system still has limited slots. Melee weapons are more useful as well, and you can dual-class after a certain point in the game.įor the most part, though, you’ll be collecting guns and gear of various rarities, keeping the cream of the crop, and selling the rest. These are infinitely more useful than grenades and can do massive damage if you manage to get the right ones to drop. The most drastic change is that instead of grenades, you get spells. I had hoped that the fantasy setting might see Gearbox emphasizing melee combat or do anything that wasn’t just Borderlands with crossbows, but I had unrealistic expectations. While this tried-and-tested formula is conducive to drop-in multiplayer, when played as a single-player game, it leaves a lot to be desired.īut there are a few changes and improvements. The gameplay in Wonderlands is straight from Borderlands. It turns out that if you remove the crassness and shock factor from Borderlands’ dialogue, you’re not left with much at all. Sure, the world has changed even since the release of Borderlands 3 in 2019, and perhaps Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands writers wanted to portray the character in a new, kinder light - however, this doesn’t really work for a game preoccupied with being funny, and the script instead reads like the pleadings of someone desperately afraid of getting canceled on Twitter, with its positivity comes off as performative instead of genuine.

The whole script seems designed by a committee and is full of “heckin’ doggo” type humor about aggressively respecting people’s life choices. This is coming from Tiny Tina, the character that asked you to find “Mushy Snugglebites” and “Felicia Sexopants” (two rabbit-shaped bombs) their “badonkadonks” so they could stop a train for you by “blowing stuff up and making people die.” Yes, the character who regularly blew people up and wanted to “burn the babies” in previous games now makes people check their vibe if they get into a minor disagreement during a tabletop RPG.
The situation would be funny if it were played ironically, but it’s not. The two get into a very minor argument, and Tiny Tina calls for an honest-to-god vibe check, after which the characters discuss their feelings.
#BORDERLANDS THE PRE SEQUEL IMDB SERIES#
You’re trying to make your way to the Dragon Lord’s lair alongside series newcomers Captain Valentine (Andy Samberg) and Frette the Robot (Wanda Sykes). You play the role of a Fatemaker, a hero that is destined to change the fate of the land. One scene, in particular, stood out to me as an example of the jarring sweetness hammered into Wonderland. All that’s left is misjudged irreverent humor and an overall veneer of toxic positivity that makes the game’s writing insufferable. For some reason, Gearbox decided to make Wonderlands Rated T and completely removed all the raunchiness and violence the series is known for. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands makes Borderlands 3 look like Blazing Saddles, Airplane!, or Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In fact, the first sentence of my Borderlands 3 review is, “Borderlands is all about guns, poop, and dick jokes, and you can look forward to a ton of all three of those things in Borderlands 3.” Well, that’s changed. Borderlands is known for its zany sense of humor.
