Congrats on your first post! Subscribed, shared and shouted to the rooftops.

I can't help but feel the same way. When I was playing Borderlands 3, it just felt like more of the same. Usually sequels get better, this series just kinda gave players more of the same.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands felt a bit better due to the theming, but after a while, it too got stale. Just more guns and numbers. This time with dragons.

I can't fault the series set pieces, it has some epic moments. The writing is both hit and miss. But something about it makes it more forgettable than other similar shooters, like Doom Eternal.

Thanks! I will confess to not playing TTWL (though I might pick it up on sale at some point), but I do think a swords & sorcery take on the Borderlands formula could be really cool if it was different enough.

It wasn't. There was a melee class, but it felt a little meh.

The sorceries here were the equiv of grenades. Spellcasters want choice, here you were limited to one per fit-out.
