    I really like the concept of Wasteland games, but I think the series, if it continues to evolve in this direction, will worsen over time. Hence an overview of the good and bad.

Hence an overview of the good and bad.

    * Plot: I think it was well conceived although the Deth-path was not well fleshed out. Learning about the Patriarch involves secondary missions, hence I can image that people that don't explore those, don't understand well why Angela calls him a tyrant. (8/10)
    * Music: OST is probably the only place where the game really excels. There are a couple of really good songs such as the Jong's Down in the Valley to Pray and Barton's Monster Mash. On the other hand, these are individual performances, and their incorporation into the game is not always ideal. (10/10)
    * Voice acting: very good, with some memorable performances: McTavish, The Prisoner, Dorseys, Scotchmo, … It was clear that there were lots of well-chose actors. (9/10)
    * Design: the overly punk-style design. Car exhaust pipes on armors, oversized spikes that impede movement, constant fireworks effects on explosion-modded weapons, … all over-fantasized that even 8-year olds wouldn't buy. But at the same time the target audience is PEGI +17. W2 was better here. (4/10) Scorpions were great though!
    * Atmosphere: in some places there is a post-apocalyptic feel, in others (e.g. DLCs) you feel like you are in some futuristic setting having technology hardly imaginable to be possible at all. "Post-apocalyptic" implies some restrictions, and they should be respected. Again, I felt the old Fallout 1&2 and W2 scoring better here. (5/10)
    * Combat: mechanics seem to be dumbed down versus W2. Spike meter versus aimed shots? Distance-based accuracy of weapons no longer visible. And so on. The biggest issue is that the initiative has become completely obsolete and replaced by being completely determined by who starts the battle. This has a profound impact on the battle outcome since the turns are per squad, and no longer per character, hence starting second often means losing directly on Supreme Jerk. (6/10)
    * Character development: my occasional google almost always resulted in someone complaining about min/max-ing the rangers. In my case, all my rangers were equally exceptionally good in coordination because it directly affects AP, and were equally unlucky, because it is probably the most useless attribute. That is I think due to the broken attributes system. Why not penalize it, like the skills system? And why not make important skill checks on it during the game? We are two decades later, and I still feel that the original Fallouts (and Fallout Tactics) had the best character design. Why fix things that aren't broken? (6/10)
    * Companions: underdeveloped, like usual. And then you have the custom rangers that have practically no background at all. W2 forced one to have 4 custom rangers, in W3 you are forced to 2. I hope in W4 we will finally reach 1! Hence (8/10) just for being optimistic.
    * Difficulty: Supreme jerk was enjoyable as it made you prepare for every encounter, although I don't like it when the difficulty merely impacts the "tankiness" of the opponents. And the latter is unfortunately the case. (8/10)
    * SFX: Special effects were probably the most bothersome. Burning trashcans at 5 meter distance sound as if standing in the middle of an inferno, blasting my eardrums out. And then this click-pop sound over and over at HQ armory and many different locations is just maddening. I don't remember ever (!) experiencing SFX this disturbingly bad. I literally had to constantly adjust the SFX volume to not loose sanity. (1/10)
    * DLC: God I hate those, and this was again such an experience. I remember a few times were DLC felt OK: in Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age: Origins as separate (!) mini-stories with a clear beginning and end. In W3, both DLC are placed as primary quests, with no effect on the main story. What is more, they introduce new gameplay elements and design choices that are not in line with the original, hence feel as if you are playing a new game within a game, completely breaking the immersion and feeling like an endless chore just to "check" boxes. There were two occasions where I considered quitting the game, and both were related to the DLCs. (2/10)

    Hence although some elements were good, like the music, voice-acting and even the story, some aspects seem as if directed by some young grads, as if the old veterans weren't involved at all. So overall, 6/10, and without the DLCs it would have been 7/10.    … 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.

    this game is just tedious. The good parts are too short make up the long winding boring dialogue scenes and the slugish movement sections. Uninstalled after couple of hours.

    The fights that start automatically when you haven't moved your characters yet. The thing is that depending on the characteristics of this or that character, if they are uncovered they will get their races smoked. Because obviously in these cases, the enemy group has the advantage of the turn even if you have a high initiative. It's quite annoying since the characters get smoked and you can't do anything at all. Just pray they don't all die.

    The level design of the battle arenas is often bad, especially indoors. The layout of the different covers is bad. The best way to play indoors is to stay out of the rooms where the enemies are concentrated, wait for them and beat them with overwatch (Activating overwatch during your turn allows you to automatically attack the enemy when he comes in range during his turn).

    The scenario is far from being exceptional, it is nicely written but the story itself is basic. Excellent dubbing though.

    And don't take the DLC, they are lousy, they add game mechanics that look good on paper but are badly executed. I don't want to elaborate, look at the reviews on the page of the said DLC.

    Optimized with the ♥♥♥. I had crazy framerate drops, I was going from 120fps to . 30 fps in a totally random way. (I7, 16go, RTX 3070 laptop version)
    It can happen anytime, anywhere without any logic. I went to see on the internet and I'm not the only one in this case.
    Bard Tales 4 was also badly optimized, a constant with this studio.

    I only broke the game but I still had fun in the end, that's why I gave it a blue thumb. The exploration is rewarding and the combat gameplay is fun once you know the game systems and how to operate it but Wasteland 3 lacks elegance in its design choices in general.

    I'm still curious to see what inXile will do next. After all, Wasteland 3 was a game paid for by crowdfunding and it's not doing too bad under those conditions. Now, with Microsoft's billionaires, it's time to turn the tables.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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.

    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

    A great turn-based RPG that seems to improve on its predecessor in almost every way. I liked the dessert environment of W2, but the quality of life improvements in W3 made for a more enjoyable experience. The music and general audio needs special mention as it’s great for building tension and atmosphere.

    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.
