Wasteland 3 Reviews
Wasteland 3 invokes feelings of classic RPGs such as Fallout and manages to nail the feel and tone perfectly in a modernized setting.
Wasteland 3 is a meticulously crafted RPG with a world that you’ll truly want to throw yourself into.
The single-player in Wasteland 3 runs fine, but the co-op is currently a hot mess. If you plan to play co-op, wait for a few more patches before picking it up.
Wasteland 3 is not a great revolution for the genre or for its franchise itself, but it is one of the main references of an old school of role playing that helped define the foundations that the rest of the proposals have followed since the 80s. There is care and talent in the construction of its world, its stories and its dialogues, as in the rest of the RPG elements, although it is slightly weighed down by a not very flashy finish and various technical problems. It is accessible enough that any gamer, no matter how neophyte, can enjoy their experience, while purists of the genre will find a great adventure to spend a lot of time to squeeze their possibilities.

Wasteland 3 is a competent RPG that struggles to distinguish itself from the many other entries of the genre. With such games, the mechanics are all relatively the same, and the writing, choices, and world-building are so much more important. And in these areas, Wasteland 3 is proficient, but not overly impressive.
Wasteland 3 is a fantastic game in a series that is constantly improving. Not only am I excited for whatever comes next for Wasteland, we should all be eagerly awaiting the next step for inXile Entertainment too.
A game that went under the radar for many, it surpassed in terms of quality in writing and decisions making consciences, even with annoying technical problems, and control problems for the new gamers on these kinds of games, it is still considered one of the best experiences of this year for sure.

Wasteland 3 does everything you expect from the series but in a sleeker package. From the freedom in building character abilities to your approach to the missions or which ending to strive for, there's plenty that's within your control, and those variations help if you want to play through the game multiple times. The story is interesting thanks to all of the decisions you get to make, and while your created characters don't add much personality, your companions are chatty enough to make encounters worthwhile. If you can forgive the occasional bugs, you'll find Wasteland 3 to be a top-notch RPG.
In many ways, Wasteland 3 is a game that does everything that is proposed in a spectacular way, delivering one of the best stories of the year together with fantastic gameplay that should be on the radar of all players.

Wasteland 3 is an impressive CRPG that takes place in a post-apocalyptic frozen Colorado. Its main story and side missions feature believable, remarkable, and well-developed characters. It also has a robust combat system that makes you think very carefully about approaching your enemy and how you build your party members. There are some minor technical bugs in the game, but they usually don't significantly affect the overall experience. In conclusion, it is a must-buy for every CRPG fan.

Wasteland 3 certainly is enjoyable. It's true to the series' roots and the proto-Fallout, and understands what it is that makes XCOM-style tactical RPGs so captivating. But most of all, it uses its sense of humour and sharp writing to keep its post-apocalypse interesting, despite how well-worn that path has become in the decades since Wasteland first hit.
Wasteland 3 is an absolute blast. The well balanced, if unforgiving, difficulty feels pitch perfect for the story and world. It is funny, harrowing and at times even verging on dark, telling a compelling tail of surviving in this terrifying world. Not only is the narrative great but the strategic combat centric gameplay is absolutely stunning. It is impossible not to recommend this title; it is one of a kind.
In a war-torn Colorado, the interests of the Rangers, the local self-proclaimed ruler, and his opponents meet.

Brian Fargo and his team have once again portrayed their art in creating an apocalyptic role-playing, and the infinitely lovely details of the game, both in fiction and gameplay.

Overall, Wasteland 3 is a perfectly fun and enjoyable RPG, and is able to run smoothly on PC. Fans of the original Fallout games will find a lot to enjoy with the mix of turn-based combat and classic CRPG exploration. With it’s voice-acting cast, musical score, visceral combat, and engaging plot and dialogue, there’s not much to complain about.
Reviewing Wasteland 3 was tough. It's always hard to do justice to a product that you thoroughly enjoy, but one that simply doesn't work as it should. This game was destined for glory, but it trips at the final yard line, and I can't overlook that in good conscience - it would be unfair to you, the reader, and it wouldn't be right. If Wasteland 3 wasn't marred with technical issues, it would be flying in the high 9's territory, but as it is... well... it is what it is.
Wasteland 3 is a throwback to the old School RPGs of yesteryear, while providing a new combat experience and a bigger world. Players that liked previous Fallout Games, or games like Wasteland 2 or Baldur's Gate will feel right at home with this title, and will have the opportunity to try X-Com like combat. For the amount of content provided, 60 USD is a very good price, and fans of the genre should get more than their money's worth.
A fantastic RPG that superbly mixes player choice and great combat to something bigger than the sum of its parts.
