Wasteland 3 Reviews
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.
Some small issues aside, Wasteland 3 is a superb RPG and a huge step forward for inXile studio. Wasteland 3 is a classic RPG with great story and characters and challenging but fun combat system that is appealing to both new and old RPG fans.

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 is one of the most powerful games that appeared on the market this year. The title should be of interest to any player, even the one who does not like turn-based games.

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.
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 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.
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 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.

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 a meticulously crafted RPG with a world that you’ll truly want to throw yourself into.
Wasteland 3 invokes feelings of classic RPGs such as Fallout and manages to nail the feel and tone perfectly in a modernized setting.
The negatives are not enough to really affect how I ended up feeling about Wasteland 3. It’s a far superior game to its predecessor, and I really liked that too despite its many issues. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in exploring, fighting, tinkering, and more in this world. It’s not afraid to let you figure things out for yourself and do things your way, but it isn’t impenetrable for newcomers either. Throw in a co-op mode that doesn’t overly dilute what makes playing solo so enjoyable, but actually enhances the experience, and you have a highly engrossing dose of silly, violent RPG goodness.
Wasteland 3 is a rich RPG experience, offering unprecedented flexibility in combat and story choices.
Wasteland 3 is an excellent RPG by keeping the spirit of the original, while also borrowing from Xcom. While the load times get in the way sometimes, there is no denying that you need to play this game if you love a great story with an edge.

Wastelands 3 is an excellent old school tactical turn-based RPG, that is unfortunately plagued by its many technical problems.

When we think of post-apocalyptic games, the Fallout series is the one that most people think of. With its (now) first-person gameplay, hunting down Ghouls and Mutants, to collecting loot and doing quests for its quite often bizarre cast of characters. However Fallout owes a lot of its gameplay to a franchise that’s been quietly hiding in the background waiting for its time to re-emerge from its slumber.
Wasteland 3 has everything you want from an apocalyptic RPG. A story you influence yourself. A dueling system that will keep you entertained after 50 hours. But mostly a sense of humour that fits nicely into the war-ravaged world. So if you can forgive the game a long load or the occasional buggy, then maybe the game is exactly what you were looking for and we think 9 out of 10 is a grade really deserved.
