Topic of the Week:

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Review Discussion

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, the spin-off from the Borderlands series, is a spellbinding hit. Tiny Tina serves as Dungeon Master, guiding players through a hilarious in-game role-playing campaign called Bunkers & Badasses. Our Editor-In-Chief, Andrew Reiner, regales us with wild tales from his time reviewing the tabletop-themed looter shooter.

Read our review to find out why we describe Wonderlands as "upbeat and fun from start to finish."

The Playlist:

Game Informer staff discuss the games they're playing.

This week's playlist is packed. Blake talks about how the visual stylings and lore of Ghostwire: Tokyo's yokai spirits made him love an otherwise run-of-the-mill open-world game. John and Van Aken discuss the whimsy of Kirby And The Forgotten Land and its clever 3D platformer mechanics.

“Today, I learned Minnesotans play 'Duck, Duck, Gray Duck' instead of 'Duck, Duck, Goose.' What is your favorite regionalism?” - Shifujiu
“You’re a kid. It’s Saturday, and you’re playing video games. Your mom/parent/guardian brings you some awesome food to eat while playing. What are you eating, and what are you playing?” - Noah
“Sorry, but I got delayed submitting my question. Speaking of delays, which game did you pick up a while after it came out and thoroughly enjoyed because of the polish it accrued because of time? For me, it was Diablo 3. I heard it was a mess at launch, but by the time I jumped in, it was so so so good!” - Keith, a.k.a. Rocket Scientist
