And he speaks in a pleasant Cockney accent. Paladin Mike is your friend, a comrade in arms. The characters in the world are annoyed by Claptrap and so he annoys you too. A friendly knight in shining armour played by transgender actor Ciarán Strange, Mike is a chatterbox you don’t automatically reject. The game is also mercifully absent a Claptrap stand-in, save for Paladin Mike. It’s something she doesn’t get to do as much, now that she’s landing roles like Aloy in Horizon: Forbidden West and Mel in The Last of Us Part II.Īndy Samberg ( Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Will Arnett ( Arrested Development), and Wanda Sykes ( Ice Age) all elevate their characters beyond the standard Gearbox-isms in the script.
TINY TINAS WONDERLAND CRACK STATUS SERIES
Anyone who has seen Burch’s old YouTube series Hey Ash Watcha Playin’? can attest to her comedic prowess. Tiny Tina herself remains an unfiltered glimpse into the id of actor Ashly Burch, who has played the character since she first appeared in Borderlands 2.

Much of this can be attributed to Gearbox bringing in high-calibre comedic performers to help sell its punchlines. But I will admit that, on one or two occasions, there was a line that got a quick laugh out of me. They’re not all thigh-slappers, I don’t want to oversell the level of comedy on offer here. The first thing Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands gets right is it actually tells a few good jokes. My problems with Borderlands 3 run the gamut from the obvious - its attempts at ‘humour’, most of its characters are irritating screamers - to deeper issues with its core design and approach to endgame content. Because Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a Borderlands game at a fantasy LARP, I feared I’d feel similarly about it too. The longer I’ve had to sit with it, the less I’ve come to like Borderlands 3.
