✅ Fantastic Borderlands spin-off game. If you're itching for more Borderlands after 3, then I would highly recommend this game. Quite underrated
✅ Well-written witty dialogues, so much better than Borderlands 3. Side-quest were also great (The Ditcher is probably one of the best, you'll in for a surprise)
✅ Very fun gameplay
✅ Lots of different classes and skills to play with, and with access to new secondary class it opens up to whole new builds
✅ Magic spells are awesome, good replacement with grendes. They're reusable with no ammo limitation making them that much better
✅ Game has dedicated melee weapons openning up possibilities to melee builds. Also, unlike previous games, holding melee button will repeatedly melee instead of mashing the button for every melee attack, makes it much more convenient
✅ Lots of collectibles, finding the loot dices felt so rewarding

❌ Level caps out at only 40, leaving you with lack of skill points. Although Myth rank makes up for the level cap
❌ Due to the setting of the game, story is kinda weak
❌ No new game+ mode
❌ Some of the UI design felt like a complete downgrade. Like, the class mods which gives you skill points only shows you icon with no name of the skill text
❌ Unlike previous games, chest cannot be reopened
❌ The main town feels so souless, there's hardly any NPC chatter and you can't talk with them. Just go look at Borderlands 2/3, you can talk with any NPCs and the Sanctuary feels way livelier
❌ Enemy variations could've been better. 90% of the time you'll encounter flesh/bone enemies in the game
❌ No new gun manufacturer, the names are reused with different variation which makes it needlessly confusing
❌ FSR 2 has visible ghosting on floating damage text

Note: You can actually fast-forward the seemingly unskippable credit by pressing arrow-down button
