It maintained a sort of gallows whimsy throughout its playtime that was bound to leave an impression on anyone, good or bad. The struggle between the rangers trying to rebuild some semblence of the old world and their nemesis insisting at knifepoint that all the old ways must die was as fascinating as it was (sometimes) screen-smashingly difficult. The depth of occasional frustration as well as occasional brilliance panned out to a unique and memorable RPG in the spirit of niche nerd titles of days gone by. It was developed for PC after a lengthy crowdfunding period and ported to console a few years later.

    Wasteland 3 is an isometric-3D tactics game with a fully voice-acted narrative and RPG elements. Unlike its predecessor WL3 was released simultaneously on console and PC rather than being ported to console later. In many ways this choice doomed this game to sell much better than its predecessor while simultaneously being a buggy mess on console and an utter mediocrity on PC.

    Combat is both the highlight and the main gameplay loop. WL3 is indeed a fun tactics game. The combat overall feels both strategic and punchy, though I was well sick of the slow animation speed by midgame. Your journey is mostly linear but every mission has a recommended level listed so stumbling into fights you can't win is unlikely...in fact, even on the highest difficulty, I was thoroughly OP for the last third of the game.
    Combat losing its zest is a ubiquitous RPG problem, by endgame one is usually either steamrolling everything or fighting improbable bullet sponges...it's at this point that an RPG would fall back on worldbuilding, narrative and characterization to give proper gravitas to the final battles, even if the mechanics of the battle have become boilerplate to the player. Unfortunately WL3 presents an anemic story told by 'functionally' voice-acted cardstock NPCs on a bleached paper background that we are assured is snowy colorado and not just a blank page.
    The camera is pulled quite far back and all of the VFX are layered on like varnish. The audiovisual experience is a swampy mess much of the time, overlaps and strange volumes and brightnesses...everything looks and sounds slightly like a postapocalyptic wasteland and slightly like a glitchy game about to crash. There ARE impressive details sprinkled about that help to give the setting some presence but too often they are all but invisible, swallowed up by ambience and bloom.
    The story is told with a low word count, limited player interaction and inconsistent charecterization. None of the villains are interesting or in any way morally grey or likeable. The main antagonist has a silly anime hammer and an "Iron Throne" made of missiles...my eyes rolled across the floor. That's about as deep as it gets, he may as well have been an anthropomorphic truck the whole time.

    TL;DR

    If you are a die-hard fan of turn-based tactics combat this game is probably worth your time.

    If you like Wasteland 2 and were hoping for a more iterative followup WL3 will likely leave you frustrated and disappointed.    … Expand

    This seemed like a really nice turn based RPG but it gets bogged down by WAY too many skills that it's no longer fun and instead your just running the numbers on a spreadsheet. When you realize that your 10 or 20 hours into the you also realize you haven't started having fun yet and that it's not coming.

    Unlike other turn based games like XCom, for example, there is no graduated difficulty, with the game being, I feel, unreasonably difficult from the get go. The result is either you will persist or become frustrated, as I did and walk away.

I played through on the "normal" difficulty, and I felt it was a tad easy in the late game, but that could be attributed to me being very careful about min/maxing my team and their attributes and skills. If I could go back and do it it over, I'd choose the next higher difficulty level over the standard one. All in all, well worth the money, and I can't recommend it enough!… Expand

    It amazes me that game companies after all these years still don't understand that you cannot release an unfinished game. Now what could have been a great game, will get a low rating.

    The game is not finished. The bugs are game-breaking. For example my teammates with the status loyal leaving my team after like 60 hours after a fight with raiders, doesn't matter what I do.

    The game is not finished. The bugs are game-breaking. For example my teammates with the status loyal leaving my team after like 60 hours after a fight with raiders, doesn't matter what I do. Mistake enemies for allies. Or the constant incredible lag that starts in fights every 2 fights. Or combat music playing together with music on the radio in a massive mess. Quest chains not completing, or things happening against your choices. etc. Did they even play through this game before releasing it?

    The players need an excuse for this game, especially at full price. It's sad because it has a lot of things going for it.

    Pros:
    *A lot of gear and weapons
    *Pretty fun combat when it works
    *A lot of humor (never chuckled this much at a videogame before)
    *Doesn't shun from the grittyness of the wasteland
    *Good dialog options and choices
    *A sense of acomplishment
    *Level system
    *Good difficulty level and you actually have to use money and upgrade to finish encounters.
    *Music/Ambient is very good overall

    Cons

    *Really bad story, basically attacked and kill those who did it. But some funny none-player characters.
    *Incredible amount of bugs and lags
    *Shallow main characters, really lacking the deep characters present in other similar RPG:s like Divinity or Pillars of Eternity.
    *No fast travel and extremely long loading times. What where they thinking? It's one thing having no fast travel in the vechicle map, which is fine. But within cities with the huge loading times just to turn in a quest and a dialog for 3 min then ruining and loading for 10. Incredible..
    *Clunky performance in combat, feels slow.
    *The inventory is terrible. No sorting, not working proprly. Terrible comparing. Statusboxes very unclear.
    *Cliché and mediocre enemies. Everyone is a crazy cult. Normal people doesn't seem to exist. Few gray lines. Full crazies.
    *Graphics are old and outdated and stiill the game runs like ****
    *No group healing (again what where they thinking?). It's not fun. Just pure annoyance having to manually heal each person after every fight. There is a reason other RPG:s have "rest" or "bedroll".
    *Useless anticlimax ending

    Anyway, this game without all bugs deserve a 6 maybe a 7 for sure. It has many funny moments and addicting combat. But in this state I think a 5 is more than the game deserves.    … 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.

    The game is buggy indeed. Not game breaking but annoying, yep. Sometimes even frustrating, like when you've killed all the bad guys, but cant quit combat because of your own turret, while taking friendly fire, suddenly becomes your passive enemy, and needs to be destroyed before combat ends. That is weird.
    Enemy placement in some areas is a bit off too. Every gunfight dries your ammo supplies and almost all team is crippled and just around the corner there's even bigger gunfight is waiting for you. No way you can clear some areas on one go. And this breaks immersion. You should put more effort in staging combat scenes and balance them a lot better.
    Despite that, I really enjoyed to play Wasteland 3. Its a solid piece of radioactive junk, and I love it that way.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has a good base upon which could many good things have been built. Unfortunately it didn't happen. Whole game's story feels like chapter 1 of a supposed to be much bigger game plot wise. There are no interesting plot twists, no interesting or secret antagonist behind the scenes, no nothing..
    The early game tricks player into thinking that this is an awesome game, a masterpiece. But as time goes on it becomes clear that it's not. I was constantly expecting something to happen in the ranger base, like some prisoners escaping, some interesting guests coming with interesting propositions, maybe someone coming to look for one of my companions or something...didn't happen. Nothing unexpected or thrilling happened. It felt like something should happen with certain characters after making some choices, but it didn't happen as well. Game feels like there is a lot of cut or unfinished content. Another weird thing is that companions feel like empty husks. They are boring, there are almost no missions or agendas of their own, no interesting dialogue with the player. World map exploration is lacking big time.Voice in my mind said: "now i am gonna find some bunker with secrets and some good mystery quest".Nope, didn't happen.. Almost all quests end up in combat.. Combat on supreme jerk difficulty is good in the early game and in one area in late game. All other time it's not challenging. Weapons are unbalanced. With some of them killing even strongest enemies in one turn,or even one shot(snipers), others taking all day and night to kill with. Combat AI is kinda dumb. Turrets killing friendly targets, enemy killing it's allies as well, weird enemy positioning and tactics. There is no respec in the game, only new characters creation and removal of old. Yes you can create character with same name and looks but it becomes a chore after a while. An you lose some perks gained from npcs. In a crpg game with a lot of posible builds, respec option is a must. On top of all these things, loading screens are time and mood killers. They take forever. Inventory management is a mess. These are negatives, and i am not even talking about bugs.
    On a positive side game has lots of well written dialogues, which are voice acted. But sometimes i found myself skipping them. Don't know why, maybe because most of them are about the same apocalyptic craziness and most of them starts to feel like forced crazy. Its like game writers made a bet who's gonna think of more over the top crazy **** and forgot to write some other dialogues for the game. But still, dialogues and options during them are good. The game's looting system is awesome. One click- loot all room. Amazing feature, i've never seen before. There is no inventory weight, no fuel for exploration. It's perfect that way. There is also npcs reaction to certain things you have done, choices and consequences. But it feels it should be more of that. There are also couple of good songs, but they play one time each only. Sound effects are good. Animations are also cool, for example something exploding. Game has it's moments, but you cannot build a great rpg game mostly on dialogues and comedy. Without a good story, memorable characters, mystery and intrigue there is no soul.    … Expand

The only pro seems to be it's light effect. But, light effect means nothing to it's visual effect, and the    Just what the F**k is this f**king piece of sh*t?

    I thought wasteland 3 must be better than wasteland 2, I mean, it must be, isn't it?
    Well, it isn't. It turns out to be a scrap.

    Pro:
    1. Sorry but there is no pro. The only pro seems to be it's light effect. But, light effect means nothing to it's visual effect, and the game's graphics is just bad. Although you may think the bad graphics is still acceptable, but it will be unacceptable when this bad graphic is burning down your GPU and making the load time incredibly long at the same time.

    Con:
    1. Too many bugs. Buggy and broken. The more you play the game, the game becomes slower. Make a random weird move, boom, the game is totally broken and sorry but you have to load your save.

    2. Incredibly long loading time. If you want to go to an inner room from the world map, you need to load about 3~5 times, (for example world -> downtown -> bar -> basement.) with each load about 3 to 5 minutes (and I'm even using an NVM-Express SSD, not an HDD). Basically over half of your playing time will be spent on loading.

    3. Boring story. What is this f**king story? An RPG without a good story is just garbage. The story of this game is so boring, I won't spoil it but I'm sure you won't like it. The story of this game is just like the stories in those boring Chinese MMO games. Upgrade your team, defeat the boss, boom, f**king game's over.

    4. The repetitive missions. This is not a MMO game, isn't it? It's an RPG game! The creators of this game surely believe this game should be a MMO game, so they make their game-play like this: Go fight some enemies and get reward. Go deliver some item and get reward. Go save some people and get reward. So repetitive, so boring, and so stupid.

    5. Bad gaming experience. A good game should have a very fluent and comfortable gaming experience, which apparently cannot be found in this game. For example, there is no item sorting in this game, which means if you want to find a proper weapon or item, you have to find it yourself in hundreds of garbage items, not to mention there is even a so-called "junk" item category in this game, WTF... For another example, you can only sell things by right-clicking the item and selecting "Sell" option. But what if I have hundreds of junk items in my bag and I want to sell them all by only one click? Sorry, you can't. Sell them one by one, and don't forget to right click!

    6. The super weird environment in the game. Every NPC, every character, even robots and animals, are so damn crazy, they just can't talk normally. Every npc in this game is just like those lunatics in Mad Max when they talk. I know this is a post-apocalyptic world, but should every living thing, even animals, be crazy? You might believe that animals will not be so crazy, not until you meet a little parrot who only yells the most vicious sentence to you. By the way the first line of this review is only me imitating the way those in-game characters speak.

    7. There is no freedom of choice in this game. The best thing of C-RPG games is that you can make different choices in different situations. Letting this guy live, letting that guy die, every choice should matter in C-RPG games. Well, not in this game. In this game, you can make some choices indeed, but whatever you choose, if you are not choosing to be a good guy, boom, the game is over. In other words, you can only choose what the game want you to choose, choosing other options means the game is over. And I'm not joking, I'm serious. In the very beginning of the game, you will face an important NPC, but if you choose not to corporate with him, boom, game is over. Yeah it's real, the game is really over. You probably think other games may also have a game-over beginning, but this is not only in the beginning. Any time later in the game, if you don't choose what the game want you to choose, game is over.

    Conclusion:
    It's not I don't like C-RPG games. On the contrary, I love C-RPG games. Divinity Original Sin 2 is the best game I have ever played in recent years. But this Wasteland 3? I was hoping this would be a good game, at least I hope this game can be equal to its predecessor. However, it's such a disappointment, this game is just garbage. Wasteland 2 is even far better than this, although I don't like wasteland 2 either.    … Expand

    this game set a brand new standard for what Rpg Suppose to be, the breathtaking opening, the human conflict within the game, it really makes u feel for the character. it doesn't dumb down itself for the crowd, unlike most of the RPG game today where you can achieve the "perfect" ending, it makes u reconsider what you did within this short period of your gaming time, there isn't a timethis game set a brand new standard for what Rpg Suppose to be, the breathtaking opening, the human conflict within the game, it really makes u feel for the character. it doesn't dumb down itself for the crowd, unlike most of the RPG game today where you can achieve the "perfect" ending, it makes u reconsider what you did within this short period of your gaming time, there isn't a time that I wasn't on edge when making hard decisions, the moment where u know what you did is futile but you have to keep going because the wasteland is depending on you, your family back in Arizona is depending on you, you are the rangers, people are depended on you. it begs the question of what is more important, the virtue of just or keeping equilibrium within a corrupted system. who says video game cant be profound… Expand

    Another unfinished and buggy game from a newly Microsoft owned studio. Wait another half year if they fix the numerous bugs and glitches.

    Замечательная игра ,с интересным трешевым лором. 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 делаютЗамечательная игра ,с интересным трешевым лором. 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

    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.

    Wasteland 3 is one of the best RPG's of 2020. Your choices matter, your build matters, everything you do matters. You don't just play this game, you live in it.

    Clichés and predictability don’t make the playthrough of Wasteland 3 any less enjoyable. After all, good post-apocalyptic RPGs are always in short supply. [Issue#248, p.36]
