If you have Borderlands 2, stick with it until you’ve played through it, through its true vault hunter mode and through every. single. DLC. There are a lot.

Then buy this, but only if you’re a serious fan of Borderlands 2.

If you are new to the series and new to Borderlands 2, go buy and play Borderlands 2! It’s great. This is just more of that, but with added obnoxiousness.

Properly titled Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

A terrible FPS semi-roguelike game.

Procedurally-generated levels. Extraordinarily unfairly unnecessarily hard. Not fun at all.

I ended up getting a refund.

A MOBA which also has good bots.

Like all the other “safe” games Blizzard has created, Heroes of the Storm is an accessible MOBA (Multiplayer online battle arena) game. It’s pretty, plays well, and os reasonably fun. It has excellent bots to beat up for a chill game. Voice support makes it great.

I play a bunch of it, and like it. I don’t PvP. The versus AI started out being really boring but improved a lot over time.

abandoned – It’s officially on life support
Full ultrawide support, even in windowed fullscreen. It’s a big difference.

A top-down hack-and-slash game based on the Gauntlet franchise but with different controls, abilities and general gameplay.

This seemed like a good idea at the time, but turned out to be a pretty shitty experience. Not recommended.

All the Earth is in peril, but everyday people have been given super powers.. except half of them become villains, for some reason.

The interface and controls weren’t pleasant for me. Probably the biggest nuisance was not having set a colour scheme on my chest because I made myself bare-chested.

A fixed-angle-view roguelike.

My general conclusion is that it’s a good game, but doesn’t have enough variety of abilities.

Path of Exile – (2013 game) is better in terms of difficulty, complexity and player-immersion. In fact, Diablo 3 has been copying features straight from Path of Exile. Doing things badly, but, still, obviously copying.

Properly titled Diablo III

The Minecraft for EverQuest Next.

I was invited to the closed beta in 2014-06-15. I tried it for maybe 45 minutes before throwing my hands up in complete disgust.

I have no interest in this now that EverQuest Next has been aborted.

While a really great game, it somehow didn’t do it for me.

I still have more offline notes I have to clean up and upload..

A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.

Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you’re already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.

Once anything comes along that’s decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game).
