While melee weapons are given a full slot and aren’t completely useless like in most Borderlands titles, the primarily gun-based combat is still the same loot grind that will see you always finding new weapons and abilities as you go on. Grenades are replaced with magical spells, goblins take the place of tinks, and skeleton variants are used as the default baddie in place of Borderlands‘ psycho.
Given that it’s been nine years, one might expect a bigger break from the Borderlands formula than what Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands ultimately provides, but it’s still an enjoyable diversion that feels just different enough to make it a good time.įor better or worse, Wonderlands is mainly just Borderlands cosplaying as a fantasy game. To tide fans over until the inevitable Borderlands 4, Gearbox Software has released a spin-off that expands upon the popular Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep expansion for Borderlands 2 that was released back in 2013 ( and as a standalone in 2021).
