Definitely the low point of Borderlands even below 1. It's plagued by bad balance with extremely broken skill trees with modifiers that can start at 100% bonus damage. Vault hunters are pretty fun however with Zane and FL4K having both gimmicky and fun builds. The balancing is pretty awful with some manufacturers producing pretty awful guns. Legendaries are too common undermining their value, and don't deserve the title of legendary. Legendaries are guns that change up the usual gimmicks of the weapon type and consist of different playstyles. The story is a mess with pretty horrible pacing, bad characters including the one that shall not be named. The humor is more in your face than usual, and is dated like it's predecessors. What I can give this game though, is the new engine which is pretty solid adds new movement options. The mobbing is pretty fun, and overall is just a game to turn your brain off and enjoy. Play it if you want to, but you're better off picking any other in the franchise.
