Despite reading generally unfavourable reviews I thought I'd give this a go. While I can't say I was disappointed as my expectations were pretty low I ended up thinking it was just okay. The main characters, the main 3 in particular... Mostly Octavio... I found to be a bit annoying at times and I couldn't quite connect to them.

I'd have preferred it if this game was a direct sequel to the first game. Find a reason to get Rhys, Vaughn, Fiona and Sasha together for another adventure. See how they've changed over the last few years since they all were together and in the case of Fiona and Sasha we can find out what they had been up to.

I also wasn't a big fan of the stats measuring team bond, friendships etc as that had a direct impact on the ending you get. The original games method of littering the first 4 episodes with big choices and having them bring consequences in the final episode. Like if you choose to spare Felix in Ep1 then you get the option to recruit him in Ep5 which leads to him giving you enough money instead to hire a vault hunter.

I am glad I played this game but I can't see myself playing it again for a long while. This also marks the end of my Borderlands marathon, every entry In the series from BL1 to this plus DLC! 🤟
