I'm Athena, the host is Wilhelm and the other roomie is Claptrap.
It's fun overall but like Haze said it's for people that already enjoy Borderlands stuff.
There are some rough spots & glitches that I don't remember being as prevalent in the last game. The "lunar physics" can be quite aggravating until your character acquires gear that allows some control during the long arcing jumps.
On the plus side, the classes are fun and bonkers as always, and now a single character can deploy a vehicle (stingray) and then hover over to the group who then "digistructs" additional vehicles. It's much better than having the group split up between travel gates or having to congregate into a single vehicle.
If you enjoyed Blands2 a great deal then you should definitely grab this pre-sequel and get a group going, but I seriously would not recommend it to anyone just coming in to the franchise or playing solo.
