I liked Wonderlands, even though it felt a bit short and wasn’t really as funny or gritty as the first two.
Since BL 3, it’s felt like the games devolved into a very childish humor, not in a clever way, but just an unfunny way.
Like, I know the first two games weren’t the peak of intelligent humor, but at least it felt they were intentional about how they utilized less mature jokes.
And the gameplay and stories haven’t been as good since BL2. Handsome Jack really stole the game in the best way.
The thing about Borderlands 1 and 2 is that their humor fit in very well for their time. They existed through the peak “lol so random” phase of internet humor. That exact same humor, executed with less subtlety, in 2020’s just does not fit in.
My biggest issue with wonderlands was numerous, frustrating bugs. Sure, you made this game during Corona and lockdown, at least in part, and did great for everyone being remote. Why the fuck did you not fix the bugs when you got back? Time to release a DLC and such? Sure. Bugs? Nah. I forget what they were at this point, but remember being super frustrated a number of times.

And the DLC though was absolute garbage. I had paid for the season pass and it felt like they released a bunch of stuff that should have been free.
