Gearbox Software trades spaceships for spells in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, and early reviews suggest that the looter shooter spin-off is a genuine treasure. Gearbox's Borderlands franchise takes players to a quirky sci-fi universe and offers a unique blend of first-person shooter combat, role-play mechanics and witty humor. As a follow-up to Borderlands 2's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands sees the titular airhead narrate a tabletop role-playing game and cast players as the protagonist.
