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.
"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

Wholeheartedly better than the main game, in my opinion. Great writing, fun locations, and lots of nods for D&D fans.

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.

For DLC its very good. Great locations, great fights and at times its downright hilarious
Best DLC of ALL TIME
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.
More tiny Tina is always good
For my money, the only piece of emotionally effective writing that Gearbox has managed in the entire Borderlands franchise. They're always so focused on whacky, inconsistent humor that they sometimes forget that there's an interesting world of likeable characters that they can use to tell thoughtful stories with. I still have reservations about the gameplay of Borderlands generally, but this is probably the best bit of content in the franchise in my eyes.
20 en inciativa: le pego en la cara
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

A sick and twisted thing about me is that I enjoy the writing of Anthony Burch
Amazing DLC. Everything in Borderlands 2 peaked here, especially the writing.
Some frustrating side missions at times, but a very creative and amusing DLC that works perfectly into the Borderlands world
