Game completed: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

After we finished with Fallout 76 we picked Tiny Tina's Wonderlands as our new co-op game. We have played through the entire Borderlands series (one, two, tales, pre-sequel, three) together so it was only to be expected that we'd play this one together as well. 

Both of us we're excited for this game from the time it was announced. We are very different gamers though. Before we started Toni did research online on what class to pick and which to combine it with etc etc. I started the game up and went with my gut. He played as a Clawbringer combined with Brr-zerker. I played as Spore Warden combined with Graveborn. It suited me perfectly to have two, sometimes even four, companions to help me fight and my tornadoes were absolutely badass. 

The whole game was like an extended version of Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC for Borderlands 2 and we had so much fun with it. I loved both Frette and Valentine and those two together with Tina was just the perfect DND chaotic party. 

If I have any criticisms it's that not many of the characters outside of the party were memorable (I don't remember any names, except Mike) and that there was a bit too much reusing of enemies. Skeletons and Coiled from the get-go until the very end. There were some cool zones though. My favourites being the one where a bean stalk had grown through the entire zone and also the one where we were literally climbing a giant skeleton. 

We made sure to do every single side-quest. collect every single lucky dice, poetry page, marble, scroll, rune puzzle and obelisk - basically 100%-ing every zone until we moved on to the next one. I kind of wish smashing the marbles would amount to more than storytime. Seeing the final boss of the obelisks displayed as trophies at the tavern in Brighthoof was always a highlight of going back there. 

I actually kind of enjoyed going around on the Overworld, although Toni definitely didn't :P

After we finished the main quest we went around the Overworld and picked up the last few lucky dice and completed the single last sidequest, before we headed to Dreamveil Overlook to go through each of the four mirrors and complete the DLCs. And the DLCs were extremely disappointing. Short runs through locations to pick up items and defeat a boss. A glorified fetch quest times four, with Vesper in the background spouting every dad joke in the universe ever. And to get the last few achis we'd have to do each DLC four times to unlock the highest difficulty? Fuck that. Not engaging enough to try for just an achi. 

All in all I had a lot of fun with Tiny Tina's, but Borderlands 2 is still the best one.
