Wasteland 2: Director's Cut

Yes, it is the same game we played last year, but better and bigger. Fans of tactical RPGs shouldn't miss this opportunity.

As I put in more time, the game kept opening up and more of my own light bulbs lit with the realization of potential.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut presents much the same experience that impressed us last year, but here it's given a facelift that affects everything from its graphics to hours of new voiceover files.

Still a great game on console. It might have some issues on the frame rate side (luckily, the slow paced gameplay won't suffer much from this), but the classic RPG experience is one of the best that a fan could ask for.

A huge, sprawling adventure with countless branches and decisions, Wasteland 2 is unique in the console catalogue and more than worth the asking price.

Even though some problems of the original version have been addressed, some new have emerged -like the camera issues. Nevertheless this edition is superior in almost every aspect and opens up its deep and finely crafted world to a much bigger audience.

A good improvement over the original, nothing dramatic but a better finished game after all and a great chance for console players to experience a fantastic cRPG made in a classical way.

A great comeback. It's a RPG that makes you think about every skill point, the smartest way to achieve a goal or decisions in quests.

The game places trust in the moral, philosophical, and intellectual response of the audience.

With over 80 hours of gameplay, Wastelands 2: The Director’s cut is a challenging but ultimately rewarding adventure. It’s a pleasant blend of Baldur’s gate adventure and XCOM combat that actually works really well.

It its an ambitious piece of work that reminds us of the classic cRPG games that were unimaginable on consoles. It smoothly adapts its controls and interface to the PlayStation 4, but it is definitely not a game for everyone due to its high difficulty and overwhelming amount of text.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut is an old school CRPG experience like no other available right now in the console market. It is unforgiving, deep and liberating. Turn-based RPG fans will be delighted with Wasteland 2 and shouldn't miss its release.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut is a fantastic retro-styled CRPG with many modern upgrades. Sure, it has a few bugs and takes a while before it becomes truly interesting and fun, but that's par for the course for games with 50+ hours of gameplay.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut is a great Old School RPG for consoles.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut improves some aspects of the original game providing a lengthy and malleable experience in a ruthless and believable post-apocalyptic universe. Even with a controller in the hands, this game reminds us why old-school RPGs are so beautiful.

Imperfections aside, Wasteland 2 is a compelling, bleak and darkly hilarious post-apocalyptic RPG that adds something a little different for the PS4's roster.

If you can get past the UI and control issues, then by all means, get Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut on PlayStation 4. It offers up hours of engrossing and strategic gameplay, and is probably worth the $60 if you’re a fan of old-school RPGs. However, if you have a decent PC, then I recommend getting it on there – it’ll be a better optimized experience.

Wasteland 2 is an excellent game, but at the same time does nothing particularly new or ground-breaking within the RPG genre. It’s easy to see why PC gamers have become so enamoured with it, yet it’s hard to imagine Wasteland garnering the same appeal on consoles. Despite inXile’s valiant effort in bringing the game to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, it never feels quite at home.
