i loved this game a lot. i liked the story and the characters and i enjoyed the changes to gameplay and progression from bl2/tps. i like that there are less sidequests that are given more time to shine. this game relies more on absurdism than just "lol random meme" humour, which suits it well. the writing allows more room for serious moments too i feel. i don't have a whole lot of complaints honestly!

i will say i wish the boss fights were more interesting and that there were more of them. that's something i remember from bl2 and tps that really stands out, and 3 didn't really deliver on that front.

my biggest complaint is that optimisation on this game is atrocious, which is the main reason i'm knocking a star off despite really loving it. if you have even slightly a worse computer than me (rtx 2080, i7 processor, 16gb ram - i should be running this flawlessly on highest settings) you will have to start lowering the graphics settings and even then idk how well this game will run for systems with lower specs. the game made my gpu run at about 70c too, which is quite warm for me and not my favourite thing ever. the framerate was very inconsistent. so, be warned if you have an older system.
