    However, there are massive issues that hold this game back right now:

    Constant crashing, both freezing and returning the game back to dashboard.
    The inventory management system is terrible.
    The UI is cluttered and icons are difficult to make out.
    Environmental effects cloud the battle field at times and it is difficult to make out enemies or friends
    Cycling through targets is exceedingly painful.
    Camera doesn't allow a wide enough view of the area you are in.

    That said, these are all fixable issues and once they have been addressed, I seriously think that this is one of the best written RPG's ever made and cannot wait to play it through properly.    … Expand

In the early stages of Wasteland 3, the narrative and gameplay primarily focus the player’s effortsWasteland 3 is an isometric post-apocalyptic RPG drops players right in the middle of a gunfight against a number of marauders. Before you can get back to the thick of it though, you’re tasked with creating a characters or simply choose one of the pre-made character duos to take on your way. In the early stages of Wasteland 3, the narrative and gameplay primarily focus the player’s efforts on building the Ranger Base. This is your main hub in the world and it’s your job to build it up by employing and acquiring the help of strangers throughout the wasteland. Sometimes it’s quite obvious that someone will join you, but I’ve also found that you can be rewarded for going out of your way to help someone. It’s an engaging plot device that weaves both gameplay and narrative together in a way that rewards your engagement. The character customization is deep in Wasteland 3, with each playable character having the ability to specialize across a number of different play styles. Who come with a mix of close quarters melee and ranged attacks. That’s just one character type though and there are plenty of ways to build a team to fit your play style. With my finalized characters I was introduced to the heart of Wasteland 3’s gameplay- the combat of course. If you’ve ever played the previous entries in the series, you’ll know mostly what to expect. For the uninitiated Wasteland 3 plays similarly to the amazing XCOM series. Fights take place across a gridded map, with movement, actions and attacks using the limited amount of AP each character has. Each fight is a balance between aggression, defense and balancing those ability points so you don’t end up leaving a character in a compromised position. Truthfully, it’s a whole lot of fun. It’s not quite as hard as something like XCOM, but I like it a lot for that reason. I found that Wasteland 3 only typically punished me when I made silly mistakes, like running into a battle without considering positioning or standing a little too close to the explosive barrels that litter battlefields. With some clever thinking and a little foresight, you can really give yourself a tactical advantage on the battlefield. At one point I found myself defending a family from a murderous gang (who I’d angered by killing the leader’s brother). By making the decision to gain higher ground with my sniper, I was able to effectively take their gang down with relative ease. It’s in these moments that Wasteland 3 truly shines, providing some of the best turn-based combat I’ve seen so far this year. The stellar combat is only narrowly outshone by the game’s brilliant narrative system. Wasteland 3 uses your decisions to shape the wasteland around you, and this pays off in ways that are both big and small.. There are around ten different endings that you can reach, with some decisions having massive effects on certain portions of the game. Even after half a dozen hours you can already start to see the results of some of your decisions playing out, and you continue to see that impact throughout the game. Dialogue and narrative have always been a core focus of the Wasteland series, but the introduction of voiced dialogue in Wasteland 3 is by far one of the best improvements the game could make. Voiced dialogue adds a new layer of believability, which in turn further immerses you in the world that inXile have created. The solid voice performance mixed with some great writing has made me laugh out loud on more than a few occasions through the game. Moral choices are fairly common in gaming now, but Wasteland 3 distinguishes itself in how it uses them to great effect. It generally presents you with situations and choices that fall within a morally grey area. There are certainly times when it’s obvious who the evil character is, but there are also moments in which you can empathise with all parties involved, ultimately making the decisions so much more difficult. There’s a particularly tough one early on that resulted in me killing an entire group of people due to the actions of their leader, while a later decisions had me choosing between the lives of innocents and my mission to protect a special set of armour to curry favour with the local ruler. Not the greatest moral quandary, but a touch decision nonetheless. I really enjoy the little touches in Wasteland 3. Whether it’s a certain dialogue tree, a random encounter or one of the many side-quests, everything feels completely fleshed out. There’s so much to do and see, and the fact that your presence shapes as much as it does sets a new bar for RPG titles of this nature. Wasteland 3 also features co-op gameplay, to take on the story together, or branch off and forge your own paths through the world. However you play Wastelands 3 is a must have Xbox title.… Expand

It's clear they lazily - or perhaps did no real testing - tested Xbox plays to have this level of instability with a release or simply didn't care and wanted it out by the release date even if broken. It's not Fallout 76 bad because the issues aren't as severe, and the game is pretty good in my play so far, but this is very unacceptable having these issues.… Expand

    Accessible, car le jeu a délaissé ou atténué ses mécaniques pénibles qui faisaient du 2 un merdier conçu par des paranoïaques et surtout un foutoir de quêtes pas finissables parce qu’on ignorait comment les finir et qu’on errait comme une étagère. En outre et en même temps, les bugs étaient légion, ceci expliquant cela sans doute…!

    On trouve d’ailleurs encore pas mal de bugs sur ce Wasteland 3 mais la plupart ne sont jamais rédhibitoires et n’empêchent pas de finir le jeu comme on l’entend… il n’empêche que ça fait désordre. Les temps de chargement innommables font aussi fortement désordre, tout ça pour des zones toujours fort confinées finalement ! il faut dire que le jeu -pas très joli ma foi- a été fait avec Unity, le moteur 3D tout pourri qui pue de la gueule, ceci expliquant cela…

    Cependant, de grandes qualités d’écriture sont en place ici et beaucoup de choix à faire dans ce monde post-apo, ce qui n’est pas sans rappeler le Fallout New Vegas en matière de factions et de politique : un excellent point donc ! évidemment, la « mise en scène » est réduite au minimum et les voix anglaises sont dans un amerloque chwing-gum-marshmallow affreux : que des doubleurs culs-terreux de l’Arizona… et du Colorado ! ce n’est pas bien grave, on leur coupe le sifflet, d’autant que la traduction est toujours soignée à l’écran.

    La musique est dans l’ensemble assez sympathique, si ce n’est quelques chansons de country de merde (à la radio et parfois pendant un ou deux combats) et a contrario les effets sonores sont très convaincants et mettent toujours dans l’ambiance post-apo impitoyable (quelle violence…).

    L’autre point fort du jeu concerne le combat au tour par tour très bien fichu ici : tactique, prenant et doté d’une bien bonne interface à la manette, ma foi ! Le jeu reste néanmoins assez lent et parfois un peu laborieux -un défaut beaucoup plus accentué dans Wasteland 2 cela dit- autant par des zones ou les combats ne sont pas évitables (même pour un baratineur en « lèche-cul » ou « gros dur » !) que par l’organisation des missions un peu trop longues, voire surchargées… sans compter l’inventaire (heureusement commun aux six personnages) typiquement bordélique mais pas trop quand même (on a vu pire).

    En définitive, Wasteland 3 reste un bon jeu de rôle qui sait étonnamment bien captiver le joueur pendant presque une centaine d’heures (!) au bas mot malgré ses errements et ses bugs… et son moteur Unity à la rue.

    Epilogue : j’ai refait une seconde partie avec des choix différents, lesquels sont bel et bien présents et appréciables tout au long de la quête principale : c’est l’occasion de varier sensiblement dans ses décisions, ce qui met en relief l’autre qualité de ce Wasteland 3, à savoir qu’aucune moralité ou moralisateur impromptu ne viendra vous faire chier avec des conséquences plus ou moins aberrantes à la toute fin : tout en effet se tient ici et on y croit tout à fait.

    En voilà donc un beau réalisme post-apo sans fard ni fanfare ! par contre, l’histoire principale est indéniablement un peu courte, on s’en rend vraiment compte lorsqu’on ne fait pas les quêtes secondaires. Après plus d’un an je crois, les bugs ont en tout cas disparu et un mouveau mode de difficulté ‘touriste’ a été ajouté : bien sympathique et tranquille, je confirme ! du coup, on se rend compte qu’on est un peu juste au regard du niveau demandé si on a pas ou peu fait de missions secondaires… pas un souci en touriste ou facile mais au-delà, c’est sans doute un problème…

    On note que les temps de chargement sont descendus à 20 secondes sur Series X, un gros gain assurément mais ça ne descendra jamais plus bas, hélas. Quoi qu’il en soit, je ne change pas la note : un jeu de rôle solide et agréable mais parfois encore un peu lourd.    … Expand

The crashes happen for no clear reason, sometimes its mid combat, sometimes its mid conversation. Somethings its just as you flick through your inventory. It honestly ruins the game. The difficulty spikes are insane just like the previous game too. One moment you're slaying guys with one shot likes, the next youre getting merc'd by one shot kills it means the game a grind fest as you have to massively OP for simple quests as you can't tell how difficult the quest is despite the level recommendations next to the quest.

    First, I played this on Xbox One and I can say that it is absolutely easily the most unstable game I’ve ever played. I can’t even count the number of times it crashed on me. I would guess around 30 times but I lost count. This is really unfortunate because this game also suffers from incredibly long load times so each crash results in you just sitting around and waiting for a while. The load times were improved by a recent patch but are still pretty long which can be irritating when traversing multiple levels quickly.
    Another issue I have with the game is it’s rather odd combat mechanics. There’s nothing really groundbreaking here. It’s very much like previous iterations or other popular tactical turn based games like XCOM. You can sneak attack to open up engagements or the enemy can fire on you first. In either case it results in usually one team taking its turn completely and then the other team reacting. The problem with this is most of the late game enemies hit incredibly hard. Meaning if the enemy team goes first, they can wipe you out or, most likely, decimate your team and leave you with a few surviving members before your first turn. All this results in is a bunch of save scumming until you get the opening that you need to win the fight. It’s an unfortunate side effect of the system they’ve chosen here.
    On that note, while there are a variety of characters to choose from, I felt like it was always a disadvantage to change out characters as you spend your time making each member of your team a specialist in a few areas so you can cover all fields. When a new member comes in, they are already leveled up to some extent and have their own specialties which can really mess with your team synergies. The result is I very rarely even considered changing members since I already had my specialists picked out and leveled up the way I wanted them. And since there’s no perma death, you can roll with the same team for the entire game without issue. It’s a shame because there are some interesting playable characters you meet later but you just don’t need them by that point.
    Even with all these issues, I still really enjoyed this game. The story and the lore is rock solid. The choices you make feel like they really matter (and there are some tough choices to make!) and the ending changes drastically based on your decisions. If you are a fan of tactical turn based shooters, don’t pass this up, it’s a great game. Just be ready for some irritating bugs and gameplay mechanics.    … Expand

    Wasteland 3 is about adapting to a situation and environment while managing a "choose your own story" adventure. While the main story is fairly straight forward, how you experience that story is totally in your hands. This is why I can say that Wasteland 3 is one of the best CRPG games you will ever come across. It provides a depth that would allow you a seemingly infinite way to experience the game without being overly complex and hard to manage and all the while not taking itself too seriously in its delivery. If you want a good RPG there are a ton out there that are a dime a dozen, but if you want one of the best CRPG experiences you can have, then you absolutely have to purchase Wasteland 3.

    Do you love classic, old-school RPGs? Do you prefer a dirty Apocalypse to a generic fantasy world? Then you’ll love Wasteland 3. We couldn’t have wished for a better successor to the old Fallouts from Interplay.

    Some small issues aside, Wasteland 3 is a superb RPG and a huge step forward for inXile studio. Wasteland 3 is a classic RPG with great story and characters and challenging but fun combat system that is appealing to both new and old RPG fans.
