One of my favorites ever.
A FPS with a diablo-like loot system, you shoot bad guys in the face with randomly generated weapons until they die so they drop shinier loot to kill bad guys faster. Simple enough but if we also get 6 playable characters with different builds to choose from that affect your playstyle make the game feel varied enough for a lot of playthroughs (I'm already at 16 and still counting). The only downside is that the guns often feel like airsoft guns, as in lacking impact and power, but that can be easily overlooked.
The world is also great, the sidequests span from challenging semibosses to random errands to stuff like "Shoot this guy in the face" which offers a lot of variety. You can also explore the areas and find something in almost every corner, most likely a hidden special enemy that can drop a legendary weapon. Speaking of legendary weapons, the loot system and the drop ratio make the perfect combination to make that finding that orange stick among all the other junk that a boss can drop oh, SO satisfying.
The humor is right on point, the references are great and the characters are charismatic as fuck, specially the main villain, one of the best of the generation.
The game overall overflows with personality to make it feel truly a unique experience. Lastly, the stoy surprised me a lot, it's not gonna blow your mind or anything but it's a lot better than most shooters, actually good.
Also this version includes all the DLCs and expansions that add a lot of layers to deepen even more the endgame, you can sink maybe 100h until you max out and optimize a character's build.
