An amazing gambling game translated to videogames. Much like many other games that simulate gambling in new innovative ways like Balatro or The Pit. The pixelization is cute and fun! Can't wait for the full release!

It feels like no one else plays this game's rank. I wanted to free to play so I can get a feel for it. It really doesn't feel like something I want to put time into over other autobattlers.

10/10 for sinking hours into and still wanting more

I am a sucker for rouge-like fun. It is just goofy memey fun so not the serious tone that RoR2 has that this game feels like it wants to imitate.

Will make a big review once I am done with it

Has to be the peak of this series and is genuinely fun and has fantastic characters (when Lillith is not on screen). I would say that it is still a great game to play once and a while years apart. The story is actually impactful and Handsome Jack is one of the best things about running around. Fantastic game that hopefully is lived up to a decade and some change later with Borderlands 4 because 3 was falling on a face really hard with style.

I played BL2 & BL3. This game is plagued at the very end of the story by what happened in the entirety of BL3. It was an awful ending with a slightly alright boss battle and the fight you really wanted cut out. The story was fairly fun up until the end where (SPOILERS) a plot contrived and flat panned Lillish*t just teleports in directly where she wanted and hits the piece while we had a set point where we teleport in. We don;t get to fight her, we don't have gunshot to our name, there is no body double yelling out. Also, where the h*ll was every other vault hunter in the last cut scene if anything since they are all super plot heavy in every other game since most of them actually get killed by the player control vault hunters. Like it is insane how the ended gave me sour grapes about the "Main protagonists" of the other games since I would bet that Lillith should be shot cold dead by literally anyone with half a brain since she makes everything worse. The writing team for BL probably had the roots of what made BL3 awful in this game. I don't recommend it on gameplay and the story strips you of your agency in one of the times in BL you would care to have control, to fight a BL1 vaulthunter. They must pray BL4 has a better story or they will be the laughing stock of "franchise" videogames, like "The Inverse Metal Gear Solid of Story Quality".

Good

It is Monster Hunter W2. It is pretty good gameplay and I have a 2K computer to play it on. So I am the top end of people's rigs.

The story is one of the worst stories I have experienced in a long while. The ending was straight garbage and I am happy I didn't purchase any of the battlepass bundles over how bad it is. The ending was every single male lead starring character being dead or gone and nothing satisfactory happening in anything story event wise happening (Hammerlock is a side character don't kid yourself)! There was no males at the end since I went with the stupid "They" robot that has the ability to pump so much damage out that I didn't even break a sweat the entire game. I died more to environmental slips than actual combat. The systems are great for people that can understand and take advantage since there is so much customization but overall it is just broken and the game on "Normal" is super easy. The bosses in the entire game were only ever "Okay", never "AMAZING" or "FUN". This all has to be fixed in Borderlands 4. I will ACTIVELY SPOIL THE END FOR MYSELF FOR BORDERLANDS 4 SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, I won't buy it if the story is just like this garbage.
