The writing in Borderlands 3 is not great, but the gameplay was a huge step up over 2. It's not a great idea to forget that Borderlands 3 happened, as it's an excellent game.

Excellent?.. Well, your experience might be different but even though I clocked way more hours at BL3, I don’t remember an inch about it. I remember lots of details and fun moments about BL1 and BL2 though.

I honestly didn't think it was any better or worse than the others. The writing wasn't good in any of them, but the gameplay was good enough. Tiny Tina was the most irritating character in the whole series and she's mainly in BL2, which is a fan favourite.

I've never thought any of them were worth buying at full price though as they all tend to feel a bit tedious about 2/3rd of the way through.
