100% Completion Review. (Recommended purchase price would be < $30 AUD with DLC)
Summery: Play once, maybe the second play through, don't try to go end game, as it ruins the experience of many of the positive aspects.

Positives:
• From Level 1 to 72 the gun play is really engaging, lots of different guns, different ways they work rather than your regular firearm.

• Environments and weapon design is quite interesting and engaging, some planets just have nice aesthetics.

Negatives:
Main Story Bad of course

Poor character design along with Borderlands universe, lack of quirkiness found in other games, taking it self too literally.

Unskipable dialog/bad objective design... Big issue with this game compared to other entries is that you'd be given the mission and dialog would continue with out the need for you to remain around, if you'd like to stay and listen or just leave to go do the mission you can. but in this game, you are forced to constantly over interact unnecessarily with NPC's or any other objectives in the game. examples are talk to one NPC they tell you to grab something, then you have to talk to them again, wait for them to talk, then get mission objective, it wastes so much time on a second play-through of the game that you feel like stopping.

Too many Legionaries! They're not even special just better than most of the other rarities... you have to filter through them to find what is actual good or not which is not a good concept.

Too many on screen affects. If you have epilepsy you are warned. sometimes you can't even see the combat happening in front of you.


Played with my cousin to 100%, enjoyed my time, but honestly is wasn't a good Borderlands game. I don't think I'll ever pick this one up as much as I did for both previous titles.

Extra: If you're not of fan of DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion), this game is scattered FULL of absolute political, ideological junk, Marxist/communist propaganda.
I would like to know the Percentage of Female quest givers/main story female leads in this game to male because everything FEELS SO FORCED, UNNATURAL and UNREALISTIC. this broke my immersion as a get away from politics.

Was surprised that the Gay wedding DLC was probably one of the more tame out of everything pushed.
