Tiny Tina's Wonderlands: Molten Mirrors Review (Professor Gumbledorf)

I've basically copy and pasted my Coiled Captor's DLC review because much of what I said applies to this one.
What does Coiled Captors Molten Mirrors offer for $10? About 30 minutes worth of content that is basically just more of the same Chaos Chambers you've probably already spent hours grinding by the time you get round to this DLC. What makes this even more laughable is players are forced to download this DLC by default, but they can't access it unless they pay for it.
If you played any of the Headhunter Packs from BL2, this is basically one of those combined with the new Chaos Chamber system from Wonderlands. Unlike a Headhunter Pack though, there's barely any story here. There also aren't any new enemies, aside from the final boss. There are actually some new enemies this time round, and it's clear they've tried to make this DLC stand out, but they've ruined all of that by making the final boss an absolute chore to defeat. He has several invulnerability stages (already off to a bad start), and on top of that after each invulnerability stage you have to run a gauntlet to get back to the boss arena. What makes this truly awful, however, is that at Chaos 50 (the game's max difficulty) obstacles on the gauntlet can one shot you. So you spend about 20 minutes getting to the boss, only to get one shot by a random obstacle on a gauntlet you get teleported to after you deal a certain amount of damage to the boss. And the penalty for dying? You have to start all over again. Unlike Chaos Chambers, you don't even get three lives. You get one. Yeah...
The ONLY reason I'd recommend this DLC is for the new loot. Most of it is more underwhelming legendaries, but the new Armor pieces are pretty cool and introduce a new "Soaked" effect Stab-O-Matic Shotgun is pretty cool. Other than that, I'd stay away from this DLC you already have downloaded but can't access.
If it wasn't for the final boss being an absolute chore to fight, I'd say this is the most fun DLC yet. But the final boss completely ruins this DLC. It's not worth your money, in my opinion. After BL2, it seems like the devs forgot how to make good DLC.
