    Great game but super bad port. Interface is not optimized for small screen, control is a bit clanky, especially camera, but manageable. Optimization is pretty poor too. The worst things are crashes. Prepare to have a LOT of crashes. Very disappointing, how such great game can be ruined by this bad port.

    I really enjoyed this game, it is quite similar to Fallout & Fallout 2, and i loved those, the game itself is fun, the story was fine, and choices you made had an actual impact on the world.
    Now, the game on the Switch runs poorly to be honest, and also crashes quite often, i had around 4 crashes in 30 hours of playing, and for some reason, the game started to stutter in some places, even    I really enjoyed this game, it is quite similar to Fallout & Fallout 2, and i loved those, the game itself is fun, the story was fine, and choices you made had an actual impact on the world.

    Good game, mediocre port.    … Expand

    Very bad port. At some part of the game it became unplayable because of crushes! Its terrible.

    Really enjoyed this one on the PC and wanted to give it another go on the Switch. Unfortunately it’s a much more clunky experience here than I remember. I didn’t make it far because i found a few things that made the game frustrating for me
    - switching characters to disarm traps, etc was a little painful on the PC but a real issue here
    - the wheel menus have to be used way too often -    Really enjoyed this one on the PC and wanted to give it another go on the Switch. Unfortunately it’s a much more clunky experience here than I remember. I didn’t make it far because i found a few things that made the game frustrating for me

    - the game is very dark overall

    I may update if I get further and get more used to the controls.    … Expand

    The Director’s Cut of Wasteland 2 is no doubt an excellent game at the top of its genre, but the Switch version has some technical issues that keep it from being a clear cut recommendation. Still, priced at $30, and given the quality of the game outside of some technical gripes, it’s well worth your consideration.

    Wasteland 2 is full of player choice and replayability that will keep players busy for a while. With gameplay easily exceeding 80 hours of content, Wasteland 2 is not for the faint of heart. Those who appreciate challenging experiences and detailed world-building will find Wasteland 2: Director's Cut an important installment in their RPG library.

    With its involving plot and combat system, as well as its very healthy lifespan, this enhanced version of the sequel to the original game will not only be sought after by fans of the series but also by new players who have a chance to get their hands on a renowned name of the gaming industry for the first time.
