Dropped this game already, played about 8 hours.

Had a pretty fun tone, to begin with at least. I liked the setting with Tiny Tina playing this D&D game, and Andy Samberg and Will Arnett's characters fit right in. Kinda felt like the Lego Movie. Wanda Sykes doesn't seem to know where she is but it works I guess. I don't think this "satire story" really has legs to go the distances though. It starts fairly strong for me but it started puttering out and repeating the same kind of humour and jokes over and over. The sidequests weren't very entertaining and fairly time consuming. Felt like the writers thought they were funnier than they actually were. Maybe it'll find some emotional core and finish strong but i don't think there's enough meat here for the whole journey.

The reason I played this game is that my buddy is a huge Borderlands fan and Assault on Dragon Keep is his favourite piece of all Borderlands content, so he was hype for this. But he seemed really put off with the story here - it's all a joke that doesn't matter. The two side characters are just pure comic relief without being "real characters". It's kinda funny because the way he described Assault on Dragon Keep, I pictured it being exactly how this game turned out, so I didn't feel bait and switched on that. He did though. I guess that DLC took itself a bit more seriously than this did.

Online play were absolutely horrible night of launch and during first day - literally not playable. Once they fixed it though, didn't have an issue playing coop at all.

Hidden items like dice means I have to take even longer going through the zones to check behind every corner and jump up every possible ledge. I've been told yellow paint indicates if something is something you should try jumping on this but I didn't know that, so it just had to try jumping up on everything and looking anywhere "just in case". Don't really like it when games make me feel that way. Spent a ton of time searching the hub city and I don't think it was worth it or satisfying.

Guns feel really bad. There was really no gun I ever picked up and was like "this is sick" but there were a lot of guns I where I thought "this is awful." I felt I had to look at and try every gun I picked up in hopes of finding something cool and useful but I was usually disappointed. Lots of effort and time spent there just to feel bad.

Something really annoying happened with the character customizer in the hub city - there's "preset options" that you can select, and if you do it - it removes all your custom choices. You can't just revert. So even trying that option means you'll have to redo your character from scratch if you don't want to use a preset. Really inexcusable problem created there for no reason. Even if I wanted to play the game more, I'd never touch that thing again.

The overworld is cute and potentially fills in the game with fun things today. However, most fighting is done in "Random encounter areas" which are just copy paste zones with a set amount of enemies to kill and then the encounter ends and can teleport back out. So we are just doing rifts in every game now, I guess. Made a lot of this games areas feel boring and uninspired. There was one really cool forest but besides that, it felt repetitive.

What ultimately caused me to quit was getting to a main story quest zone that required level 17 but I was only level 12. I had just been thinking to myself "it's cool there's all these little extra areas on the for people enjoying this game to go do if they want, I don't think I'm gonna go through all that though, I'm just gonna blast through the main story and call it a day". But then the game literally said "sorry, you need to be level 17 to progress the story, why don't you go back down the hill and do some random encounters for awhile!". So I closed the game.
