Who knows: Maybe it’ll wholly redeem the DLC.Background 'You found part of a treasure map. The final one, “Shattering Spectreglass,” is due out soon, Gearbox says, and will also introduce a seventh class to the game: the poison-focused Blightcaller. There’s a story - something about a magical mirror operated by a witch - but it pales in comparison to the depth you get in, say, any of the terrific Borderlands 3 campaign.

They’re not really full campaigns, though really, each one is a themed, endlessly replayable single dungeon that you grind repeatedly for better loot. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands also has four post-release expansions. Historically, the Borderlands games have rolled out four significant campaign expansions, typically spread out over a year after release.

It’s like Borderlands went to the renaissance faire - an idea that, on paper, shouldn’t work but, in practice, totally does. A castle turns into a giant beanstalk with shattered ramparts and malevolent mushroom people. Bandits become reanimated pirate corpses. Wonderlands takes that campaign’s fantasy trappings and runs with it for a whole game. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is part spin-off, part follow-up to the fantasy-themed Borderlands 2 expansion, Assault on Dragon Keeparguably the fan favorite in the series. (Gearbox did not include driving segments in Borderlands 3‘s successor, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.) Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsīest: The fantasy theme. Borderlands 3‘s driving was slippery and imprecise, though - forgivable for the earlier games, but not for this one, wherein vehicular control felt like it hadn’t improved at all in a decade. The catch? Most of them were massive, forcing you to hop into a car if you wanted to get around with even the barest hint of expediency. yes, Borderlands 3 teed up a ton of interesting levels. Even Pandora got a glow-up, with tons of new subregions to explore, in addition to the barren wastes that defined it in prior entries. (Hear, hear for walkable cities.) The jungles of Eden-6 were rich and moody and ominous. The densely packed metropolis of Promethea was a NUMTOT’s dream. So what if one of them, the ethereal, vine-covered Athenas, was literally just one stage. but Borderlands 3 let you go to five different planets. for years, Borderlands games offered limited biome diversity, with the whole game confined to one planet (Pandora for the first two, the moon for the spin-off). (Gearbox quickly remedied this with subsequent entries, though.)īest: Interplanetary travel. For a game that was otherwise sharply written, it was a shame not to see that biting wit apply to the folks you played as. But like many first-person games at the time, they served as generic ciphers for the player, not really having well-defined personalities of their own. Gearbox sketched out four playable characters for Borderlands: the brawler Brick, the generic soldier Roland, the hunter Mordecai (joined by a little bird friend), and the magically enhanced Lilith. Borderlands also knew exactly what it was and didn’t try to be anything else, giving you a confidently basic premise - go, uhh, find lost ancient treasure or something - to justify the grind. Distinct classes with unique abilities and robust skill trees gave the game some RPG bona fides, like you were always working toward something. Combining first-person shooting with the rarity-tiered loot grind of diablo proved an intoxicating combo. when Borderlands came onto the scene more than a decade ago, it was genuinely revolutionary.
