Booting up Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, I found myself wondering why it’s not called Bunkers & Badasses. That’s the name of the in-universe game that the characters are playing. And it’s much more indicative of what you’re getting than “Wonderlands.” Include Tiny Tina’s name if you really must have the branding, but calling it “Wonderlands” implies a level of fantasy influence that this game doesn’t really possess.
If that sounds like a condemnation, it’s not intended to be. Wonderlands is essentially a tabletop RPG campaign thrown together by the unusual titular character. It has a lot of good, light-hearted humor, and it’s fun to play — that’s all it really needs to cut it as a new entry in the Borderlands series. What it doesn’t have is any distinctive flavor of its own, despite its best efforts.
