The story and characters aren't good. That being said outside of Handsome Jack that is pretty par for the course for Borderlands. Like usual there are certain characters/storylines that are entertaining but overall it's underwhelming.

Gameplaywise it's just a straight improvement over the other instalments. Better movement, more interesting guns, more fleshed out skill trees, better balancing (at least compared to 2). Maps have a range but at least to me are better overall, partially because of the verticality that is more possible. Obviously this is subject to performance but I don't have any issues in that regards, on PC.

My biggest gripe is that the base game feels incomplete. The first round of DLCs were all very good but it feels like without them you aren't really getting a complete game. Then again, I think BL2 pretty much feels the same way.

Is borderlands 3 good or no?
