The gameplay in "Tiny Tina's Wonderlands" retains the classic Borderlands looter-shooter mechanics while introducing new elements like spells replacing grenades and a multiclass system, which many players find refreshing and engaging. However, some reviews highlight issues with repetitive gameplay, bullet sponge enemies, and a lack of meaningful endgame content, leading to mixed feelings about its overall execution.

- “The jokes are more irritating, they added annoying mechanics like overworld or random encounters and drops feel more useless than ever.”
- “Bullet sponge bosses with horrible mechanics, that only feel worse and worse as the 'difficulty' increases.”

- “The graphics are stunning; the maps are enormous; the voice actors are incredible; the character customization has about as many options as Bethesda games do.”

- “Boring, ugly graphics, and non-stop yapping.”
- “The visuals are fine, although it feels like for maybe a 20% enhancement in overall prettiness, we've taken a 500% hit to performance - not everyone has a card that can DLSS its way to running stuff at a higher framerate, and stuff doesn't really look that much better now than it did 4 years ago - it just runs worse.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it tedious and repetitive, particularly in the endgame where chaos levels and loot farming dominate the experience. While some enjoy the grind for character optimization and loot, others criticize the lack of dedicated farming options and the overwhelming reliance on RNG for gear drops, leading to a frustrating and often boring gameplay loop. Overall, the game appeals to those who relish grinding but may disappoint players seeking a more engaging and varied endgame experience.
- “The different areas of the game are unique, vibrant, and not tedious to explore.”
- “The collectibles were fun to search for and weren't as tedious as some other games.”

- “The endgame is very grindy, like a lot of people said, but isn't that what Borderlands is about?”
- “The method used to acquire new chaos levels isn't inherently flawed, but the amount of times one must run the chaos trials to reach the max makes the entire process extremely tedious.”
