    The single-player in Wasteland 3 runs fine, but the co-op is currently a hot mess. If you plan to play co-op, wait for a few more patches before picking it up.

    There's an enjoyable and often downright hilarious story here, that's strengthened by deep gameplay. However, most of the time you'll find yourself staring at loading times, becoming frustrated with the game's unstable framerate, or feeling baffled because of the amount of input lag on display.

    Wasteland 3 is treading creatively irradiated ground. The nuclear post-apocalypse has been explored to exhaustion, in video games and elsewhere, and no amount of weird factions or sex jokes can prevent it from feeling like an aged rock band on a comeback tour: the tunes are still decent, but there’s no youthful vigour.

    Don’t even waste your time with this buggy mess until they fix it. How can they let a game come out in this state...infuriating. ConstantlyDon’t even waste your time with this buggy mess until they fix it. How can they let a game come out in this state...infuriating. Constantly crashes, loading areas are over abundant and take way too long, UI is horrible, cant even change brightness or display settings after you start a game, I can go and on. I’ve spent equal amounts of time playing and waiting on lading screens and crash restarts. Ridiculous.… Full Review »

    I'd like to give this game a higher score, but there are too many BUTs...

    1) The bugs are innumerable... from lost pets to a buggy squad management interface to hourly crashes
    2) The graphics are dated... It looks like Wasteland 2 with an new story
    3) The music is cool at times, but sound/music seems lacking outside of that

    What pulls this game up:
    1) It's Wasteland (AKA Old school Fallout)
    2) The story is flexible... decisions matter
    3) The character generation and individuality
    4) The replayability... if you can stomach the bugs

    Verdict... It should be much better after patches, but the graphics and sound will still not pull it above an 8. With that in mind I'll give it a 7 even though in its current state it is a 5 or 6.    … Full Review »
