I don't know how well this DLC would age 10 years later, but for a while this was my favorite DLC of all time of any game I had played. If you're someone who hates Tiny Tina, this 100% will not work for you but I loved her and thought this was a blast.
If Tiny Tina has million number of fans I am one of them. If Tiny Tina has ten fans I am one of them. If Tiny Tina has only one fan that is me. If Tiny Tina has no fans, that means I am no longer on earth. If the world against the Tiny Tina, I am against the world.

The authentic experience of playing with a DM going through a bad break-up
"This is how DLCs or sequels should be made: by avoiding the 'more of the same' formula. No sameness here, it's a great addition, with a lot of humour and unique gameplay. One of the greatest DLCs in recent years, completely surpassing the base game. After it was over and I was pushed back to the main campaign once again, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was like I had just experienced some meraviglioso homemade spaghetti in a buffet full of store bought pasta " - IGN Italy
A sick and twisted thing about me is that I enjoy the writing of Anthony Burch
Best DLC of ALL TIME
Who thought combining Borderlands with Dungeon and Dragons would work so well? Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep is set in a fantasy world from the board game that the characters are playing, with Tiny Tina acting as the board master. The storytelling has no right to be this good, with fantastic, witty writing as the characters playing the board game narrate your adventure, with the hilarious Tiny Tina being at the centre of it all. How the narrative breaks the 4th wall is incredibly clever, as Tina dynamically changes the world and questline itself as she makes up the rules of the game on the go. However, there is a more serious undertone as the campaign shows how Tina is in grieving over the loss of one of her friends in Borderlands 2, and 2K does a surprisingly competent job of portraying Tina’s stages of grief without compromising the light-hearted tone of the campaign.
The campaign itself is really well paced, with a whole host of varied fantasy locations that take inspiration from some of the best media in the genre. This leads to some great environmental design and visual variety, with an impressive attention to detail as almost all assets in the game have been overhauled to fit in with the fantasy theme. Moreover, the soundtrack and audio design are fantastic. The campaign itself does a good job of mixing up the endless shooting galleries we’ve come to expect with Borderlands, with puzzles and traversal, but there are still a few areas where it just felt like the game was throwing wave after wave of enemies at you for the sake of padding out the length rather than to provide a challenge. The enemy variety does somewhat make up for this, but I still wish that these encounters were more engaging, with less bullet spongey enemies. Even though there are lots of enemy types, the majority of these are quite basic with simple attack patterns. I wish that 2k took more advantage of the fantasy theme by creating more wacky enemies like the necromancers and mimic monsters. Outside of the main quest there is a tonne of side quests to complete, these vary in quality but do at least provide the player with a reason to return to the world after the main questline is over.
I had a tonne of fun with Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, enjoying it even more than Borderlands 2 itself. Its by no means perfect, but the excellent storytelling, world building and main questline make it well worth your time.

probs one of the best dlc ever
i wasn't going to log the dlcs for borderlands 2 but this one really surprised me in how good it was. it does have some of the most annoying enemies in the game so far (Fuck You Skeleton Seer) but i really liked how they actually tried to like. do something more than just spew stupid shit and have me kill stuff. music was good too and i liked it when zero talked
Some frustrating side missions at times, but a very creative and amusing DLC that works perfectly into the Borderlands world
The precursor to Wonderlands and what a precursor it was, I just wish we had the original Vault hunters in that game like we do here. Not that Andy Samburg and Wanda Sykes aren't a funny duo to have, but it just felt right with the original cast.
A really nice DLC. Lots of fun.
Good enough to get its own game, so it speaks for itself
Innacurate as hell, all players showed and the DM didn't cancel last minute
Really unique for its time. story wise it's great even if the real underlying story is only in snippets. really neat retelling of the main game through the perspective of a charming character. map design kinda sucked though but I liked the concept it brought. the magic broomsticks were more creative than the standard Skeleton, Orc, Knight, and Dwarf enemy type they brought in. wish they tried more to subvert expectations for this DLC
For DLC its very good. Great locations, great fights and at times its downright hilarious
The writing is so goddamn cringe but this is still an amazing DLC. Adds so much fun content that I can't even stay mad.
What I might call the quintessential Borderlands 2 experience, as it is like a perfect vertical slice of everything thats good about Borderlands (characters, loot, funny enemy variety, lush environments) with none of the boring parts (monotonous desert environment, bad pacing)
one of the best dlcs ever made, beats any dlc for any game
Amazing DLC. Everything in Borderlands 2 peaked here, especially the writing.
Wholeheartedly better than the main game, in my opinion. Great writing, fun locations, and lots of nods for D&D fans.
It's the best DLC for BL2 so far (not saying much I know). The story fits in with the style you can expect for a borderlands game. The music is good as well. As usual a lot of the enemies are a pain to fight with Named Orcs and Crystal Skeletons being full of derp design. There is also a crushing platform "puzzle" near the end that's all kinds of stupid as well.
I've yet to play the Game they made out of this DLC but I really, really enjoyed this for what it was -- the setting and the missions were cool as hell. Also, I love that the DLCs started to add more speaking lines for the playable characters and I savoured each and every crumb of Zer0's dialogue that I could get my grubby hands on...
seria perfeito se não fosse a bosta da bossfight contra o dragão na ponte Jesus amado que negócio desgraçado de ruim
my favorite borderlands content ever, easily. so fun and entertaining, beautiful looking and adore the music. also THIS is what DLCs should be, actually different content, story and changes to gameplay while still having meaning for the characters of the base story (not just paywalling content that belonged in the base game)
More tiny Tina is always good
Borderlands 2's gunfeel remains excellent even now, and Assault on Dragon Keep may be some of the most tolerable writing the game managed in its lifetime
A few weird difficulty spikes soured this a little for me, but overall it was a lot of fun, and I ended up shredding pretty hard by the end

I enjoyed the game, tiny tina's personality that's very over the top batshit insane would seem like it would get boring real quick, but you would be sorely mistaken, throughout the whole game it was a riot, just a fun game and I don't regret getting it and even getting it for my friend to go play it coop
