The overall theme of TTW has been fun and a nice change of pace for BL games, for me, and kind of reinvigorated the enjoyment I've gotten out of them, which I haven't gotten since BL2.
The DLC seems to be widely frowned upon for TTW though, and I haven't tried it. Also small parts of the game have been substituted for "encounters" (short fights with a pool of different types of enemies), which get kind of repetitive. I think the endgame is sorta like that, too, but I haven't reached it. Mostly everything up to endgame has been a blast, entirely solo, however.
I like the classes/multiclassing, and the sheer wackiness and variety of spells and abilities. Feels like a fresh coat of paint. Just make sure the humor is your style, as it's hit or miss to some people. If you liked Tiny Tina before, then you'll probably enjoy it. There's a lot of quality voice acting behind the game, too.
The story is better. The campaign is longer. The end game is longer. The game has more variety. The game has vastly more content with DLC's. It has far less RNG. It has new game +, so to speak.
People complain about the story in BL3, but at least it made sense. The story in Tiny Tina makes absolutely no sense. You end up fighting the villain in your imagination. I rate Tiny Tina as the worst story in the entire franchise. I'm not saying BL3's is great. I'm saying Tiny Tina's is even worse because it lacks any coherence.
In Tiny Tina, you will immediately encounter "camps" on the Overworld map, which uses a structure that gets repeated through the entire game and compromises the entire end game.
That is, you spawn into a small map with enemies. You kill them and go through a portal and you are done. This get's repeated constantly throughout the campaign and is the only end game.
Once you finish the campaign, the only end game in Tiny Tina are the Chaos Chambers and Mirrors, which play exactly the same as the "camps" you encountered in the Overworld, accept now you have to go through multiple portals and maps before it ends.
You grind, horribly. You play the Chaos Chambers to get gambling currency. You then take your gambling currency and put it into slot machines, hoping you might get that 0.1% chance that you might actually get an upgrade. I estimate that I can clear a Chaos Chamber in about 20 minutes and it takes me about 10 minutes to deal with the gambling mechanics, looking at all the gear and seeing if there is an upgrade, which most of the time there is not, so you have to mark over a hundred items as junk and sell them. It is unnecessarily too time consuming and is clearly meant to pad out the game time.
The shooting and game mechanics are still very fun. As they also were in BL3. But when talking about money to fun ratio, I think the clear winner is BL3.
I have about 300h in TTWL (EGS and Steam combined) having finished it fully with 3 toons. My BL3 game time (EGS and Steam combined) is well over 1000h having finished it with all 4 toons on both NVHM and TVHM with all DLCs and Season Passes.
I personally really like both games, I prefer the magics of TTWL over the grenades of BL3. Each game has tweaked the gun play just that little more, refining it and making it better. But the actual number of weapons in TTWL is also a lot less than in BL3 (variety and parts wise).
If you can get a good deal on BL3 right now WITH Season Pass 1 (i.e. the 4 story driven DLCs included), it would be your best bet. If you can get an even better deal on TTWL and you're NOT the kind of person that puts hundreds upon hundreds of hours into a game and only wants to go through the main story once, then TTWL is a good fit.
I have a lot of games that I only purchased in order to play them through once due to having to spend time on work, family, etc as well. So those games make me happy if I can get 20-30 hours of game time from them. I sink more of my time into repeated returns to the Borderlands series and in this case, TTWL.
If you like standing around, sipping a soy latte at the open mic comedy night of your local hipster cafe while smiling politely at the thirtieth variation of the same toothless joke, then TTW will be right up your alley.
