This is close to a 4-star, considering how similar it is to BL2. On top of everything it retains from BL2, the new additions of zero gravity, butt slams, laser weapons, and the cryo element are great mechanics that I hope stick around for BL3. I also think they did a good job with the playable characters' respective skill trees. My hangups revolve around the time before getting back to Helios. Traversing those areas is a drag and the missions and characters during those sections are bland. The lack of endgame content, compared to BL2, is kinda disappointing but its not as big of a detriment for me. Grinding and farming don't really interest me, so I'm cool with less of that. Plus, UVHM isn't as punishing as BL2 and I was able to succeed without having to rely on legendaries.
