Genre: RPG;

Release date: 28-Aug-2020 ;

Overview:     

Following the critically acclaimed 2014 Game of the Year winner Wasteland 2, the RPG series that pioneered the post-apocalyptic genre in video games returns with Wasteland 3.

Features:     

The End Has Just Begun

A party-based roleplaying game with the series’ signature focus on story reactivity and strategic combat in a post-apocalyptic world.

A Core RPG Experience

Features a deep and engaging story, utilizing a dynamic dialogue system with full English voiceover, allowing players to choose their role, and immersing fans of the series and newcomers alike.

Survive the Blistering Cold

Set in the savage lands of frozen Colorado, where survival is difficult and a happy outcome is never guaranteed. Players will face difficult moral choices and make sacrifices that will change the game world.

Deep and Reactive Tactical Gameplay

Player vehicles, environmental dangers and a revamped, more fluid action system lay the foundation for tactical, yet explosive turn-based combat.

Assemble your Squad

A detailed character creation system with dozens of skills, perks, and quirks allow for deep customization of your squad of up to six Rangers, geared to your playstyle.

Take in the Scenery

A significant graphical upgrade, character animations, and first-person conversations bring Colorado and its sensational landscapes to life and elevate the series to new heights.

Bring a Friend

Play single player or with a friend in story-driven co-op. Choices open (or close off) mission opportunities, areas to explore, story arcs, and more.

I was very pleasantly surprised by Wasteland 3 seeing how I didn’t like the second. While not one of the best RPGs out there, it manages to be enjoyable and quite a solid RPG. It really manages to do everything pretty well while also not taking itself entirely seriously. All dialogues have voice lines, and the boss music is very catchy. Some quests are time sensitive, a feature implemented very well. And I enjoyed it’s many QoL features.

The biggest criticism that I have is that you are discouraged from using weapon and armor mods because you can’t take them off. And you often depend a lot on finding a high-level weapon through RNG; and then the character that has that weapon becomes by far the most valuable member of the group. At the very least, this was my experience on the highest difficulty level.
