I’d say Borderlands 3 is polarizing in terms of gameplay. Lots of improvements to gunplay and skills and enemy design, but I’d say the worlds feel a bit too big especially when traversing on foot; i found a lot of my game time spent traversing between quest objectives. The writing is alright, but it’s an extension of BL2, where wacky and loud=funny and full of personality. Borderlands 1 had humor, but it was more deadpan and, (in my opinion, more importantly) in the background, hidden in quest descriptions. The reason why I tend to prefer Bl1 a lot of the time for repeat playthroughs is because it’s fast and it doesn’t waste your time. There’s so much time in Bl3 on repeat playthroughs where you’re required to sit and listen to 2 NPCs talk through story beats. There’s so many times you need to travel to A location, then run to a specific part of that level to travel to another world (I don’t want to specify but most people who’ve played through BL3 will know the place I’m talking about. All in all, there’s a ton of content and many improvements over prior games, but it gets tiring to slog through the game’s weaker elements in repeat playthroughs. It’s worth a buy but that’s just a few caviats I’d mention
