Borderlands 2 was a hard act to follow.

The way shotguns in Borderlands 3 hurl enemies into the air as if they've been yanked up by a playful god is A+, but Sure, it was another game about shooting people and taking their stuff, but it embellished that with character-writing and gags so good you could take away the shooting and still have something enjoyable.

It brings back Jack, or at least his voice, in the form of holograms all over a space casino he apparently owned but we've never heard of until now. Under the guidance of fan-favorite questgiver Moxxi you put together a heist crew to raid this casino, while once again being monologued at by Handsome Jack in the way you masochistically love.

The setup is that returning NPCs Sir Hammerlock and Jakob Wainwright are getting married on a planet that suits their interests—big game hunts, and having two whiskeys then shooting your revolver in the air respectively. Said planet is an ice world where the only town is built in the unrotting carcass of a giant tentacle monster, wild beasts prowl the frozen lakes, and everybody's too busy being cursed to notice when it rains bullets.

Guns, Love, and Tentacles continues the trend of bringing back DLC characters with Gaige the Mechromancer from Borderlands 2, who has retired from vault hunting to become a wedding planner naturally suited to organize a wedding for characters as triggerhappy as Wainwright and Hammerlock. Fighting Cthulhuesque monsters to make sure their marriage goes smoothly makes it subversively wholesome for Lovecraftian horror, and I enjoyed that a lot.

Later locations include a besieged castle in a land made of organs and flesh, a railway line that runs through traumatic memories where you fight a train of thought called Locomöbius, and a version of a detention centre Krieg was held in that twists in and out of hallucinations like something out of Eternal Darkness.
