I think Borderlands 3 has the best, most smoothest gameplay in the series thus far. It's traversal is responsive and smooth, it just feels good to play. Otherwise, it's still more or less the same. The story...man I can't lie. It's bad. It feels like the writers of 3 saw the success of Tales from the Borderlands' narrative(which is excellent btw), and was so spited that they retconned and made characters shadows of what made them so interesting. It's unfortunate that the gameplay is JUST SO FUN, cause being here for the story is a bit of a waste.
