    This is one of the coolest RPGs I've ever played. It's very in-depth in terms of gameplay, the awesome combat and amazing score. It's just so detailed and the world is a joy to explore. I love how everything's voice acted as well.

    While it does have a few bugs it's one of the most enjoyable RPG's I've played in years. Strongly recommend this one.

    It's been a long while since I've enjoyed a video game this much. Improves on the previous one in every possible way. The amount of choice and story reactivity here is truly impressive on a scale I'm not sure has ever been attempted before.

    In addition the world feels alive and responds to our actions. Newspapers tell about our deeds, in the radio much happens, there is some great exploration here and we have really nice gadgets and a vehicle. In general the game is very polished and even though there are occasional bugs it's nothing game breaking (plus it's to be expected from such a massive game).

    The story is incredible. Your choices really have meaning and the aster eggs are so worth it. "La cerise sur le gateau" is the soundtrack. I wish the DLC's will expand the story , i got really attached to the characters. Best RPG of the year

    Writing and voice acting really shine, you can tell people working on this have vision, enthusiasm AND talent, a combination that impossible to find these days in big projects.

    As for the combat system... Being a fan of gritty and straightforward JA2 i'll take this over XCOM any day of the week.

По сравнению со второй частью , Wasteland 3 выглядит дороже и качественнее. Музыкальное сопровождение подобрано отлично и очень хорошо передает атмосферу. Буквально оказываешься затянут в дикий, постапокалиптический вестерн. Геймплейно игра осталась прежней, но обросла целым ворохом новых фич, которые неплохо вписываются ,и в целом делают игровой процесс интереснее. Оружия и брони, разных примочек для них и ваших персонажей очень много, что лично для меня не мало важно (Можно даже киборгом стать!). Особое уважение за диалоги и диалоговую систему в принципе. К чему я привык в играх от obsidian. Ты видишь в диалоге доступный вариант с циферкой твоего навыка и уже заранее знаешь, что этот вариант максимально верный и прибыльный для тебя. В Вейстленд 3 это так не работает!
    Сюжет увлекает и ставит игрока перед нелегким выбором. Несмотря на шутливый и трешевый стиль повествования, игра отправляет тебя в довольно жуткое приключение , где игроку нужно принимать не простые решения, в которых вы неоднократно будите сомневаться по ходу повествования.
    Поставил 10 баллов, но к сожалению в игре много багов и объективно ,в текущем состоянии, это должна была быть 8. За все прохождение игра ни разу не вылетала и все эти баги из разряда - раздражающие. Диалоги с патриархом лагают, Бои подвисают во время хода противника, пару раз слетали статы до начальных у основных персонажей ( с которыми стартуем) и т.д.
    Самый критичный - загрузки вплоть до минуты на ССД и в целом не слабом ПК. К примеру в Колорадо-спрингс , что бы добежать от базы рейнджеров до дворца Патриарха, вам нужно пройти 3 загрузочных экрана. Тем не менее я здорово провел время с этой игрой.
    Итог - Подождите пару крупных патчей и бегом играть. Если вам нравился Fallout 1-2 , то Wasteland 3 это то почему вы так скучали. По отличной рпг, с большим количеством диалогов и вариативностью . По чувству втянутости в игровой мир и возможностью на этот игровой мир влиять. И по роботам коммунистам конечно же.    … Expand

The combat feels good, kind of like X-Com, and the weapon variety is cool too, somewhat reminiscent of borderlands for me. So yeah for me this was like Fallout, Xcom and Borderlands in one. As for the cons; there are definitely bugs and clunkiness that is pretty annoying at times, as well as the load screens can be pretty bad.

The RPG elements, choices and consequences, dark humor and setting FEEL like the original Fallout games, and the combat has changed from Wasteland 2's initiative based system to something more like the modern XCOM games, which I think feels a lot more fun in practice. My only real complaint about the game so far is the loooong loading times even on a PC with an M.2 SSD, Ryzen 5 3600 and 16gb DDR4-3200 RAM.

It still has some improvements and I was debating between 8 or 9 but I gave it 9 because I would definately buy wasteland 4 if they do it. I just enjoying playing this game.

    WL3 is a big, combat heavy RPG through post apocalyptic Colorado. Expect anywhere between 50-70 hours of gameplay if you do most the side quests. The heart of this game is the moral choices it will throw at you. Lots of factions with their own agendas. Most the time your going to piss someone off, and it will get you thinking about the consequences for minutes before you make a choice.WL3 is a big, combat heavy RPG through post apocalyptic Colorado. Expect anywhere between 50-70 hours of gameplay if you do most the side quests. The heart of this game is the moral choices it will throw at you. Lots of factions with their own agendas. Most the time your going to piss someone off, and it will get you thinking about the consequences for minutes before you make a choice. There is no pure good path in this world, other games have tried this before as well, but Wasteland 3 really excels at it.

    Combat is turn based as Wasteland 2 was, built on action points like the old Fallout and Xcom games. Its a tried and true system that works good enough. Guns are pretty hard hitting in this game. Succeeding in combat means taking the first shot so your party gets to go first and aren't caught flat footed where you will be shot to ribbons.

    Weapons come in various styles: melee based, handguns, shotguns, submachine guns, assault rifles, heavy machine guns, sniper rifles, energy weapons, flamethrowers, and rocket launchers. Each weapon category has abilities you can take as perks to make them more strategic. For instance submachine guns have an "unload" option to let you empty your entire clip at reduced accuracy. Heavy machine guns have a supress ability to keep enemies pin downed and limit their attacking ability, There are about 20 guns in each category. Most types have several "energy" type variants that do more damage to robots and less to humans. There are mods to make the weapons better, provided you have a character who has taken the appropriate skill. The mods are fairly simple compared to recent fallouts, but some are pretty powerful. Enhancing the range of shotguns and flamethrowers particularly spells a wave of doom to your enemies. Armor mods exist as well, but are less valuable, and not worth the bother imo.

    Now lets go over some negatives. The world map is decent size, it does feel a little cramped and seems to be always night. Would have liked to seen it made a little larger with more open areas. Load times are long, not sure if its all the hand drawn art or what, but expect near minute load times everytime you enter a new area. Perhaps they could have preloaded areas as you start getting close to an exit point.

    My final rating would probably be 8.5 for WL3. Since Meta doesn't allow halves, I rounded up to 9 given the sheer size and length of this game. It's rarely boring and combat remains fun even though your using the same strategies over and over. An outstanding achievement by Inexile.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Geçen hafta Divinity Original Sin 2'yi oynamamış olsam eminim bu oyunu daha çok severdim. Öyle bir şaheserden sonra combat ve açık dünyanın keşfi biraz sığ geldi. Ancak yine de sevdim.

    2. oyunu çok sevmiş birisi olarak değerlendirecek olursam, onun üzerine koymadığını belirtmem gerek. Çetelerle olan problemleri çözme şeklini size bırakması, verdiğiniz kararların başınıza daha büyük problemler çıkarması klasik bir rpg'deki kadar güzeldi. Özellikle ana görevlerde sık sık zor kararlar vermeniz gerekiyor. İflah olmaz bir transhümanist olduğum için her problemde robotların ve sentetiklerin tarafını tuttum, insanlarda ise ilkeli davranıp köleleri ve mağdurları destekledim, düşmanları öldürmek yerine tutukladım. Özellikle Steeltown fabrikasında ve Denver petrol bölgesinde verdiğim bu kararlar bölgeyi ekonomik olarak mahvetti. Evet, oyunu olabilecek en kötü sonla bitirdim. Kısacası problemleri çözme serbestisi 2. oyunla aynı seviyede, eh bir rpg'de en önemli şey de bu sanırım. Üstelik YZ ile olan görevlerde, bir bilim kurgu fanatiği olmama rağmen yeni hikayeler gördüm, yeni duygular yaşadım. Türe bu açıdan bir şeyler kattığını söyleyebilirim.

    Açık dünyada her yeri dolaştım, gezdim ama o kadar da keyifli değildi. Her yerde küçük hikayeler veya gizemler bulmak isterdim. Yine de yan görevlerin çoğu zaman ilgi çekici olduğunu, oralarda dahi yaptığınız seçimlerin sonuçları olduğunu görmek sevindiriciydi.

    Combat sıkmıyor ama çok çeşitlenmiyor da. Düşmanlar genelde aynı ve çevre kullanımı kısıtlı olduğu için DOS2'deki keyfi almadım. Bir de oyun turn-based ama karakter değil taraf turn-based. Yani sıra size geçtiğinde her karakter sırayla oynamıyor. Siz istediğiniz karakteri istediğiniz zaman, ap'si yettikçe oynayabiliyorsunuz. Hatta ap'si varsa oynamış olduğunuza geri dönebiliyorsunuz. Bu iyi mi olmuş yoksa kötü mü bilmiyorum ama savaşları kolaylaştırdığı kesin.

    Oyuna sonradan gelen karakterler pek ilgi çekici değil. Sonradan geldikleri için almak da istemiyorsunuz çünkü o ana kadar onun sahip olduğu özellikleri birisine vermiş oluyorsunuz ve onu almak partinizin dengesini bozuyor. Oyun da bunu bildiği için karargahınızda partinizin tamamını kendinizin oluşturmasına izin vermiş ve sonradan gelenlere aman aman bir hikaye yazmamış. Ben Marshal Kwon, Lucia Wesson, Ironclad Cordite ve Jodie Bell'i yanıma aldım. Lucia Wesson ve Ironclad Cordite'i şiddetle tavsiye ederim çünkü oyunu bitirmek için hikayede kritik rolleri var ve güzel hikaye vadediyorlar.

    Bence oyun biraz kolaylaşmış. 2. oyunda sağlık çantası veya mermi bulmak zordu, biraz dikkatli kullanmanız gerekiyordu. Bunda hem bunlar hem de skill point'ler üzerinize atılıyor resmen. Ekibinizi uzmanlaştırmak ya da savaşları kazanmak çok kolay. Bu tarz oyunları daha önce bir kaç kez oynamışsanız zorda oynamanızı tavsiye ederim. Normal haliyle oyun biraz kolay geldi bana. Ya da ben tüm yan görevleri yaptığım için ana görevlere 4-5 level güçlü gittiğimden de kolay gelmiş olabilir.

    Karakterlerin ortak envanter kullanması oynanışı kolaylaştırmış, sevdim. İşin amelelik kısmını büyük ölçüde törpülemiş. Envanter ağırlık sınırı olmaması da oyunlarda en gıcık olduğum şeyi almış götürmüş.

    Oyunun sonlarına doğru, ilkelerinden ve seçtiğimiz taraftan dolayı iki karakterimizin yanımızdan ayrılması fena koydu. Üstelik birisi yanında bizon ve erkek geyik götürdü.

    SPOILER ALERT
    Kendi üssümüze saldırıp kendi elemanlarımızı öldürmek zorunda kalmak etkileyiciydi.
    SPOILER ALERT

    Müzikler güzel, özellikle ana görevlerin son savaşlarında çalanlar oyuna epik bir hava katıyor. Bunun yanında görsellik de ikinci oyuna göre epey gelişmiş.

    Sonuç olarak hiç sıkmayan, görevleri yaparken boşuna yapıyormuş hissi uyandırmayan, birçok görevde zor kararlar aldıran ve bunların sonuçlarıyla yüzleştiren, biraz kısa ve daha çok derinleşme şansını kaybetmiş bir oyun olmuş.    … Expand

    Como um bom RPG de turnos, Wasteland 3 traz uma mecânica de batalha mais simples e intuitiva, além de um ampla variedade de possibilidades de personalização de seus personagens. Você irá jogar com uma equipe de até 5 personagens, sendo eles seus dois “protagonistas” criados ao início da história, e mais 3 membros recrutados ao longo do jogo, que possuem suas habilidades totalmente personalizáveis pelo jogador, propiciando a montagem da equipe da forma como mais for útil a sua forma de jogar.

    Por falar nos protagonistas, você poderá escolher entre uma lista de personagens prontos, como também criar seus próprios. Dentre as possibilidades de personalização, você pode montar sua dupla como bem entender, sendo colocando 2 brucutus para tankar cada grupo de adversários, como fazer uma dupla mais equilibrada, cada um focado em um aspecto do RPG, o que é mais recomendado.

    Há também habilidades específicas, que farão com que o personagem avance de forma única, como melhoria em ganho de XP, em dano a determinados alvos, aperfeiçoamento de certas habilidades, ou seja, cada novo jogo criado, pode ser único, isso aliado ao poder que o jogador tem de mudar a trama através de suas escolhas durante os diálogos, faz com que Wasteland duplique, triplique, quadruplique seu tempo de jogo, uma vez que ao recomeçar com uma nova estratégia, te leve para desenvolvimentos diferentes.

    Graficamente, a inXile acertou em cheio! Wasteland 3 tem um visual fantástico, muito detalhado e que facilita muito a imersão do jogador. Cada cenário é único e o jogador se sentirá encorajado a explorar cada nuance das montanhas congeladas do Colorado em busca de itens para melhorar seus personagens. A trilha sonora ajuda nessa imersão. Os controles do jogo são o padrão do estilo, não havendo grandes novidades ou inovações, mas cumprindo com seu objetivo, sendo simples e precisos.

    Mas agora o grande acerto do game, que é a sua história. Como a sinopse já diz ao início dessa review, Wasteland 3 tem uma história muito bem elaborada. Você deverá se aliar ao patriarca, o líder do Colorado, de forma a reunir seus três filhos rebeldes. Seu novo aliado, solicita que você apenas os traga até ele, para que seja tomada a decisão sobre o futuro de seus filhos, mas isso é uma escolha que cabe totalmente ao jogador.

    Cada filho do patriarca está em uma diferente facção – há várias presentes no game – e possui diferentes características. Logo, é interessante que o jogador busque o máximo de informações com cada NPC que aparece na tela, de forma a compreender melhor toda a rede de relacionamentos dessa civilização. Você poderá levar os filhos do patriarca vivos ou mortos, mas isso trará consequências no jogo.

    Inicialmente, Wasteland 3 foi lançado sem o nosso idioma nativo, o português, o que pode ter afastado alguns jogadores, mas no finalzinho de 2020, através do lançamento do patch 1.2.0, além da correção de erros e melhorias no game, foi acrescentado ao game menus e legendas em pt-br, o que ajudou demais aos jogadores com maiores dificuldades com o idioma estrangeiro, além de trazer um maior grau de imersão aos jogadores brasileiros, por poderem aproveitar o game em nossa língua nativa.    … Expand

    Small problems:
    - weapon level system - stupid, also hp level up system and linear progress with it. Fallout logic is better
    - performance leaks. Game constantly loose FPS. Sometimes its just after some fight from 144 to 15fps instantly. Maybe it happened twice. Only restart game helps. Usually slowing down is less visible. After 3h from 144fps it could slow down to 80fps. There is also no manual frame limit only v-sync
    - unity engine (this version at least) - like many other unity games one of the ugliest same way. Poor performance/details ratio.
    - not greatest graphic details.

    Big fan of this franchise after starting 20+ hours in this game. I like the combination of open world and turn-based encounters. The way that you interact with the world can change the outcome of your party and the story. Something I've rarely seen in other titles. A crowded nightclub can be a friendly HQ or turn into a shoot out zone in an instant, depending on how you play your cards.Big fan of this franchise after starting 20+ hours in this game.

    Getting the proper flow of party members and classes is a great dynamic for how you handle encounters, and rewards smart play styles and foresight. It's truly an 'indie' gem that I constantly find myself wanting to revisit to try different loadouts and play styles.    … Expand

    This game provides a very unique, and interesting experience, compared to Pillars of Ethernity or Kingmaker, it has an interesting world where your decision feels impactful. The only issues this game has are the size of the game and some technical issues.

I went back and forth because a lot of the issues, even months later including a patch that actually broke my game (really?) made me rate the game a zero for a bit. But, now it's totally playable and I finished and I have perspective.

    Overall, with all fixes, it was a very good game, awesome colorful gfx, fun combat, excellent voice acting; some really good story lines (folks who love gray choices will LOVE these). I also really like the music, some of the folksy versions of the 70s music is cute. Finally, multiple Quick Save slots is EXACTLY what a PC game should have but rarely does any longer.

    It's a bit different than WL2, somewhat simpler, "dumbed down" for the masses, but on HARD difficulty it was still challenging in part. You can steam roll a lot and then suddenly be surprised how enemies will meat grind you; definitely keeps you on your toes. If you get sloppy in some parts, you will be obliterated no matter how much armor you think you have. On normal, I suspect you will just snooze your way through combat especially if you have any talent tactically at all. WL2 also was more "desperate" and Colorado reflects a somewhat more abundant economy (if you have the money). At the end of the game I had hundreds of rounds of everything and about 100 medkits of each kind, etc.

    Anyway, it's a very entertaining dark story and I had fun all the way to the end. I would play WL4 , but the rollout was so bad I might wait 6-12 months. I waited 3 and that still wasn't enough. It's a talented team but the product was rushed or they didn't care and either way it left a bad taste in my mouth for a franchise I was beginning to love. I hope they learn and improve, because the final product was worth it.    … Expand

    It's a very good game with some minor annoyances which detract from what is otherwise a great experience. Great writing masks a fairly clichéd plot. But the UI and inventory management is frankly a bit of a mess. This doesn't ruin it by any stretch. But it could do with some TLC.

    Of course I liked the game. It was the first Crpg I finished. I did feel compelled to play it through. I think the way your choices affect the world and story are cool. Some of the groups you meet are real fun. However I feel like the ultimate payoff is a little lackluster.

    First things first: My score is strictly for the game, but honestly with the amount of issues I had with Wasteland 3 it should be lower.
    However, most of these issues simply stem from the bad Microsoft Store and Universal Windows Platform. Because every time I tried the game with steam everything worked fine and every time I played the game on game pass, everything was **** again.

    The worst issues were the ones that broke even my save games. That's why I simply can't give a lower score, because it's obviously not the developers or games fault.

    A lot of games I played on game pass had most of these issues.

    Wasteland 3 is pretty much everything I hoped for after I was done with the prequel.
    These games don't have the best story, but it's still servicable. However, as it is with Fallout (at least before it was handed to Bethesda), the reason why I love these kind of games isn't the story but rather the characters, exploration and settings.

I can't name many games where you can pay to have sex with a goat, but you can in Wasteland 3.

    Gameplay-wise it's solid, nothing innovative but it does the basics well. Switching to team-based turns was a good idea, the combat plays out much smoother this way. The game also has a ton of content, you're looking at 60+ hours at least, and there's no way you'll see everything in one playthrough.

    Where the game really falls down is performance, stability and lack of polish, the game is riddled with bugs. I would describe it as a great game that's not in a great state, it needed to be delayed at least 3 months IMO. The loading times are also very long, probably the longest I can remember in recent memory, and they're frequent. The frame rate is generally OK whilst travelling the world but it really chugs in combat as the Unity engine just can't cope. There are also several bugs relating to performance, for example, every time you hit shift to highlight objects the game freezes and haemorrhages frame rate, these aren't problems unique to myself, everyone is suffering from them regardless of hardware. Co-op is another big issue, there are countless bugs and crashes related to this mode, so if you want to play with a friend you may wish to wait for a few patches. My advice, in general, would be to wait, this is a game that will only get better with time and I really do feel it's worth waiting for.    … Expand

The story beyond the combat feels a bit thin though. The world feels empty and the driving around just ends up being tedious and pointless. It's also very obvious that several quests have limited angles to approach them. While there's some choices you can make it's not that you feel like you are really supposed to play "your way".

    When I started playing Wasteland 3, I was pretty intimidated by all the options at character creation, and I didn't feel like the premade characters were well-optimized. There are so many skills in this game, and at the beginning, you can only create two characters - you can't have everything. This gave me a ton of decision paralysis.

There are so many skills in this game, and at the beginning, you can only create two characters - you can't have everything. This gave me a ton of decision paralysis.

    After you get out of the tutorial area, you are allowed to pick or create 2 more characters to add more skills you missed out on, and are allowed to take 2 special companions as well to further flesh out your skill variance.

    I feel like knowing what those 2 initial companions are in advance can help you optimize which skills you should pick on the remaining 4 created characters. This is one of my big initial criticisms of the game - you can find yourself in a situation where you picked many of the same skills across multiple companions, and this will make skill checks a lot more frustrating in the beginning since you need less overlap.

    To compound to this skill metagaming problem, respecs are not free - they cost money. So if you realize that you made a mistake, it will first cost you $200 to respec and I heard it costs more in the future. At the beginning of the game, this is a big punish - you only have $400-500 tops for quite a while so the respec is asking almost half of your entire treasury. I believe this was too much of an ask for players not playing on a harder difficulty and are still trying to learn the game. Each of the 4 customized rangers should have been given a free respec on Normal difficulty or lower. It would have made character creation less stressful and less time-consuming because I honestly felt like I just needed to start over to optimize my money situation at the beginning of the game. I did not want to just burn $200 because I was learning.

    Beyond these problems though, the game is excellent. Once you have a party of 6 characters you are happy with, meeting the various skill checks feels pretty chill and you can just play the game. That is when the game is at its best. There's a really good balance of exploration, dialog, and combat, and nothing outstays it's welcome. Everything is very high quality for this style of game.

    I also really appreciate the large font sizes and the game's complexity is "just right". If you think games like Pathfinder are too complicated, then Wasteland 3 is a good place to start because its rules are very accessible - it's pretty similar to Fallout 3 in terms of complexity, but your skills and perks are distributed across 6 characters instead of 1.

    So, I give this game 4 stars out of 5. If Wasteland 3 had been less punishing towards new players and allowed for more free respecs to prevent new players from having to start all over, I honestly would have given Wasteland 3 a 5.

    Hopefully, inXile will learn from this mistake and make their next game just a little more accessible for new players.    … Expand

    Wasteland 3 should actually be called Fallout 3, as it has much more in common with two legendary Interplay/Black Isle Studios games than any later entry to the Fallout series. If that’s not a sufficient recommendation, let me put it plainly: Wasteland 3 is the best turn-based post-apocalyptic RPG in many, many years. Yes, at the time of writing this review there were many gameplay and technical issues that needed to be addressed as soon as possible, but the fun this game offered made it very easy to look past them.
