I was able to choose between two classes for the preview: The Stabbomancer and the Graveborn. The hope is that these new mechanics and additional equipment will keep things fresher than Borderlands 3, which got a little stale around the middle of the adventure. Spells are a fun way to break up shooting, and I liked that many of them require you to charge and aim them in order to use them. A wide variety of guns, equipment, and spells, the latter of which are new to the series (outside of Assault on Dragon Keep‘s “spells,” which were really just transformed grenades), keep things from getting monotonous. The core gameplay and quest structure hasn’t changed at all: Wonderlands still has the same slower, more deliberate gunplay that Borderlands is known for. It’s nice to see that fun objectives like placing posters are still around, even if they don’t fundamentally change Wonderlands‘ gameplay. A goblin named Jar provided me with the first of two story missions for the zone, titled Goblins Tired of Forced Oppression (it abbreviates to “GTFO.” Get it? Get it!?).ĭuring my time in Mount Craw, I placed goblin propaganda posters throughout the zone, freed goblins trapped in cages, fought off the mechanical dragon responsible for the goblins’ forced oppression, and looted chest after chest to find the best guns possible. My preview allowed me to explore the Mount Craw zone, an optional area in Wonderlands that’s home to frozen fields, blazing-hot mountains, and a fed-up army of oppressed goblins. Even so, my preview left me asking the same questions as when I first saw the Borderlands 3 trailer: Can Wonderlands live up to the prestige of its inspiration? Setting the goblins free It’s Borderlands as you’ve never seen if before, even if you’ve played Assault on Dragon Keep.
