I got this game at some point on Playstation plus, I think. I have never played a Borderlands game before, so I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I like to do this from time to time, start a game completely blind. I usually end up enjoying them more than if I knew anything about them.
Right off the bat, I loved how it looked. The style is unique and pretty cool, but mostly, I like the environment of the game. A dark fantasy world filled with skeletons, golems, orcs, etc. The colors were perfect; it felt like a game made for me. On top of that, the humor is really good. Although I have to say that I missed many jokes and references because I didn't play Borderlands 2 before. I don't know who the characters are...
The music is good, but it does get very repetitive, which is a problem in the gameplay too. In order to grind and complete missions, you have to revisit the same map/level multiple times and kill the exact same enemies over and over... That got pretty boring after the first hour or so. But then again, every time I moved to a new area, the game felt awesome once more.
The gunfights were cool, but they got a bit chaotic sometimes, especially after you get good weapons and shields. There can be a lot of stuff going on, with colors, explosions, and numbers just in your face. Most of the time I didn't know what was going on, lol! There is plenty of loot, although I don't really care for it. Actually, I feel like it was way too much. Maybe it's because I am more of a survival game person, where I have just a couple of weapons and ammo, and suddenly I get weapons after killing almost any enemy, and there are chests with ammo lying around literally everywhere. It got overwhelming pretty fast, and it was more like a chore having to read the stats of so many weapons in order to choose what worked best for me.
Besides those little annoyances, I did have a great time playing this game/dlc. More than I though I would. I think I am going to check out the Borderlands series now.
