Playing through this had me wondering if I'd just outgrown Borderlands. I then replayed BL2 a bit and found that I just do not like this entry, which is really unfortunate.

There are things I love conceptually, I think a character creator is a really cool idea for this series and something I would like to see in a mainline game. There is very solid queer rep, which is also cool. I think that visually, it's also really impressive, even if it took some tweaking to run well.

Other than that though, I just really didn't connect with anything else this game had going on. Things like Tiny Tina, the DnD setting, and the campy spoof humor are things that work in small doses and with good writing. None of it really worked for me, Borderlands is a setting that I really need to be invested in for it to vibe with me, and this game just does not deliver.
