  While the first expansion set in a casino; this time around players are given a much more diverse and varied environment to experience. As such; the overall experience is a bit more well-rounded and satisfying and improves upon what was already an impressive first expansion.

  What begins with a disaster ends with love, sandwiching in a meaty filling of guns, conspiracies and Wendigo testicles along the way in Borderlands 3: Guns, Love and Tentacles. Not a bad way to spend a weekend, when you’re officiating the union between beast and melee attack. I now pronounce you man and knife.

  Despite some lingering issues with the formula as a whole, Borderlands 3: Guns, Love, and Tentacles has a little more heart in it than the first DLC. It can drag at times with samey enemies, but the premise, and the smaller more intimate cast focus, carries it. So far Gearbox is two-for-two on the season pass, but only just.

  Propelled by character development, the second Borderlands 3 DLC pack offers quality and diverse gameplay without sacrificing the core features of the series. There is certainly an impression that the DLC was built with the strengths and weaknesses of the game in mind, gradually improving on previous work while adding a little something new over time.

  Guns, Love, and Tentacles is a witty, solid expansion for Borderlands 3 that mostly plays it safe with a proven formula without introducing anything that makes it a must-play. Still, the environments and enemies are unique and interesting enough to provide new challenges to players. Oh, and do you like testical jokes? It has testical jokes.

  I have loved every minute of playing through Borderlands 3: Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright and Hammerlock on Xbox One. It has the missing secret sauce that Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot unknowingly skipped on: atmosphere, a theme of horrifying star-eating monsters with ghosts, evil magic and a story with characters you really care about. This is one of the best Borderlands expansions to have released, and is a must-play for every Borderlands fan.
