Though i would agrue that the Claptastic Voyage dlc is very good. I would say the dlc locations/missions are very low in quantity. I have completed 2 seperate playthroughs of this game and have completed every installment of the Borderlands franchise up to this point (2020). Its two flaws were simply that it followed the very sucessful Borderlands 2 (can't really blame it) which set wildly high (dare i say unrealistic) expectations and the second flaw being it did not really fix any of the few problems of Borderlands 2 gameplay (which Borderlands 3 really did and did a good job of fixing too). This game is a lot of fun and really retains the Borderlands atmostphere. Being on the moon with low gravity was refreshing, and makes me excited to check out its DLC and the sequel (also Tales from the Borderlands too)

Don't get me wrong Pandora is great, but we already have 2 games plus the DLCs that are set on that planet. I loved the setting on being on Pandora's moon Elpis. I also loved the cryogenic weapons so much better than the slag weapons, so I'm glad they were switched out in this installment. Able to jump over areas, move around more quickly, and even getting a new vehicle called the Stingray makes travel so much fun and fast as you can jump over literal mountains if you get the speed/jump/angle right. Of course the low gravity is what makes this game so great. Now regarding the gameplay really just all around awesome. Another piece of the plot I enjoyed was seeing Handsome Jack again as I thought Borderlands 2 was the last I seen of him.

First off lemme just say playing as Clap-trap was a flippin blast! With his added remarks to the campaign, I think it made this game much more humorous than say you just had Athena commenting about stuff. With this installment of the franchise, the biggest winning factor for me was the gameplay rather than its narrative. With the first 2 Borderlands games, I was impressed mostly with the narrative/comedy. New players should also join in in said mindless fun, but i'd suggest playing through Borderlands 2 first - you'll enjoy The Pre Sequel a bit more this way. Fans of the previous two games should definitely pick this up to see how jack and the other vault hunters come to be who they are and - of course - for the mindless fun that is the Borderlands shoot & loot formula :). This is a double edged sword, as it adds the immensely fun "gravity slam" mechanic (which i will really miss in the next Borderlands game if they don't include it), but also makes the game feel a bit more sad and lonely than Borderlands 2.

The game is set in space this time and this means you'll spend about half your time in low gravity environments. Mind you it all get's a bit grindy though. And this does a pretty good at both of them - Shooting is simplistic but fun and there are about a gazillion different guns, shields etc in this game thanks to random generation and mutliple different stats. Don't get me wrong, it's filled to the brim with hilarious moments, but after every quick laugh you'll be focusing on two things: shooting and looting. Borderlands: The Pre Sequel tells the story of what happened between the two previous Borderlands installments (thus both "pre" and "sequel" i guess :)), but this isn't a game you really play for the story.
