    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.

    Look past some of the bugs, the game is absolutely amazing and really may be the best game of this genre ever made. Cant say enough good things about it! Will remember it for a long time :)

    This is the way fallout should have remained. Best RPG since Divinity Original Sin 2.

    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.

    Finally a great game from inXile. It has good story and dialogues, interesting quests, elaborate choices and consequences of these choices, interesting combat and very fun character creation system. It also delivers quite a bit of challenge on highest difficulty were we can't just distribute skill points or attribute points randomly and still succeed.

This is rather rare these days (not counting indie games). Also, the graphics are good and music and soundtrack are just superb.

    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). Best AA game in many, many years,    … Expand

    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

    I don't care what anyone says - this is the Fallout 3. Rodd Boward BTFO!

    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. Graphics are no slouch, offering beautiful and immersive views even if you sometimes stop to wonder what a Moskvich 412 doing in Colorado.    I don't care what anyone says - this is the Fallout 3.

    As for the combat system... Being a fan of gritty and straightforward JA2 i'll take this over XCOM any day of the week.
    Also pleasantly surprised by the quality of release version, virtually no bugs.

    A preorder i do not regret in the slightest.    … Expand

    I`ve played maybe 5-7 hours so far and there is a lot of exploring first town and doing mostly side quests you can find, game is quite immersive and well voiced, graphis are pretty descent too. Hopefully game stays so good further down the line.

    If you like x-com style combat combined with the crpg genre, then it fits like a fist in the eye.
    One of the few games that I wanted to play again after playthrough.

    Wasteland 3 is the new standard for CRPG games! Every aspect of this game has been improved upon from Wasteland 2. The story, decision making and role playing elements are the best in the genre. Don’t miss it!

    Juego impresionante, desafiante , donde te cuentan una verdadera historia de sobrevivientes.. TECNOLÓGICAMENTE PARA LA VISTA QUE EMPLEA SE VE MUY BIEN , los personajes tienen diversas habilidades donde cada uno tiene su funcion, los combates por turnos son entretenidos.. MUY RECOMENDABLE

    Wasteland 3. BEST. RPG. EVER. Divinity 2 was the the all time RPG for me. W3 is better. It's been a while since finishing a game has had as much satisfaction as W3. So now I need to start up another campaign and do it even better. 60hrs sunk in and im going back again......

    Joguei pelo gamepass pc.
    Tem alguns bugs, mas nada que atrapalhe a gameplay.
    Só joguei agora por que no lançamento não tinha a tradução pt-br.
    Recomendo, horas e horas de diversão.

    It’s a brilliant post-apo turn-based game. I have already 40 hours on it & can't get enough of it. TWO best games ever are: Fallout & XCOM and this is crossbreed of them. What more can you ask for? :)
    Just one imperfection: loading screens (Jesus Crist! or maybe Holy President Reag..! is more apt :)

    En Wasteland 3, tomas el mando de un escuadrón de Desert Rangers, hombres y mujeres de la ley en un mundo posnuclear, que intenta reconstruir la sociedad desde las cenizas. Más de un siglo después de la caída de las bombas, estás librando una batalla perdida para mantener con vida a tu amada Arizona. Excelente secuela

    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.

    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]
