Wasteland 3 Reviews
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.

Wasteland 3 is one of the more pleasant surprises of this year. It's not simply a tribute to the old-school gaming, but a great game in itself. The balance between old-school and modern mechanics is just right and feels pretty fresh.

Wasteland 3's odd flavor of storytelling and deliberate sense of unease make it one of the more interesting RPGs I've played in a long while.
In a war-torn Colorado, the interests of the Rangers, the local self-proclaimed ruler, and his opponents meet.

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

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.

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.

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.

Solid tactical RPG gameplay set in a varied world filled with incredible characters and 'water-cooler' storytelling. Glaring issues aside, Wasteland 3 shines as the pinnacle of this genre and as one of the best games released this year despite its issues.
Technical blemishes aside, Wasteland 3 harkens back to the days of the classic CRPG
Wasteland 3 is in no way a bad or a mediocre game. You can clearly see the passion that went into it's development. You will spend hours upon hours with dozens of well thought out non-linear quests, while interacting with easy to use and well made role-playing systems, all of which gives you true old-school gaming experience. But at the same time Wasteland 3 just can't offer anything we haven't seen before, and myriad of countless technical hiccups is definitely not something we expected to see.

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 could be an entertaining game if not for its nonstop softlocks, disappearing items, and idiotic pathfinding (I’ll get into that later), but these problems stood in the way of my enjoyment while chipping away at my patience in a way few other games ever have.
If you are a fan of Fallout then I highly recommend Wasteland 3.
Wasteland 3 is a credit to the revival of CRPGs in a time where mainstream audiences think picking a perk and slamming one button is the ‘RPG experience’.
Ultimately, Wasteland 3 succeeds on its narrative, choice system, strong characters, and compelling factions. It stumbles in its lifeless world, inconsistent presentation, familiar gameplay, and technical side – it often feels like a snow-themed reskin of Wasteland 2, with many of that title’s limitations and janky systems. Nonetheless, designer Brian Fargo has here made the best post-apocalyptic RPG since Fallout: New Vegas. It’s just not as good as the one he made 23 years ago with Fallout.
Wasteland 3 is an absolute blast to play, with its deep and involving story complimented by some wonderful gameplay mechanics that’ll keep players hooked in for hours on end. There really is a whole lot of things to see within its rich world, and honestly, discovering more about the narrative, its characters, and the events occurring behind the scenes kept me utterly enthralled in the adventure. I loved it. There are a few issues that do prevent Wasteland 3 from striving towards CRPG perfection, but it’s still a fantastic release in its own right and one that fans of the genre simply won’t want to miss out on.
Overall, Wasteland 3 is both a massive improvement on its predecessor and a fantastic game its own right. It’s filled with good writing, interesting quests and deliciously difficult turn-based combat.
