Don't bother. Play other RPGs.

I’m sorry to report that the faith and money of the RPG fans who funded this has resulted in a glorified bargain bin RPG. Visuals? Ugly, 2005-esc. Clearly had little effort put into them. There are ways to make a game look good without triple-A graphics you know. Gameplay? There’s no real tactics beyond go behind cover and occasionally use Ambush (Oversight) to shoot at things that move.Enemies have the same braindead bullrushing or cover plinking tactics, be it elite soldiers or giant flies. RPG mechanics? The dialogue system is wretched. It uses some of the most soulless and charmless dialogue I’ve seen in ages. Choices and consequences are meh, sometimes you’ll get a meaningful result but most of the time you don’t notice. Story? Shockingly derivative, with tons of locations and assets and antagonists lifted from the previous game. This does not feel like a sequel that needed to be made. Occasionally you meet an interesting character or two, but the majority of locations are just quest hubs that you go to, do all the sidequests (which often don’t give you motivation to do them beyond “It exists”), and then never return to again. You don't care about anything. And on top of those the game fails at very basic things like descriptions saying stats do things they don’t do, or overhanging background scenery blocking the cursor from clicking on things. These devs are supposed to be industry/RPG veterans, yet this game reeks of amateur mistakes and design decisions. If you see this game for like fifteen dollars it might be worth picking it, it’s not AWFUL or hopelessly broken just bland uninspired and uninvolving. But really, there are so many better games out there. The oldschool RPGs the KS namedropped are SO much better than this, and for newer titles theres the Witchers, Expeditions Conquistador, Divinity, Spiderweb games, it goes on. And people, please… overrating crap like this will not save or restore the RPG genre. It just won’t. Praise actually good games.

Thoroughly Enjoyed This Game

This is very much in the style of Fallout 1 & 2. Gameplay seemed quite well balanced to me. I had no quests that were impossible to complete if approached in the right way. Also I had no bugs or glitches with quests. I did have a couple of minor Graphical bugs but nothing game breaking. The tutorial tips however could have been much better. Half way through the game I was finding I could do things that I was not aware of earlier on because none of the tips mentioned it. I have always liked the Turn Based RPG style game and this definitely scratched the itch. I got a good 70 hours plus of enjoyment out of this game.

Made for fans of old-school nostalgia

The reviews here seem pretty polarizing, but coming from a long-time PC RPGer who played both Fallout 1 and 2 on release in the 90s, this game hits the nostalgia button HARD. I'm about halfway through the game and thoroughly enjoying it. PROS - Open world, explore-in-whatever-order gameplay that feels like Fallout 1 and 2. - Writing is very detailed, lots of atmosphere, game is filled with dark humor and some great characters (Scotchmo, the shotgun-wielding Lord of the Hobos! "These aren't my pants! These aren't my pants! I sh*t in these pants.") - Isometric turn-based combat is straight from Fallout. Lots of different weapons. The party-based combat feels a bit like Icewind Dale. - Many different ways to tackle quests using different skills, so multiple playthroughs will feel different. - Different factions you can "side" with to complete quest areas. CONS - Bugs. Save often. You never know when you'll need to reload after some kind of game-breaking bug. - Lack of polish. Certain things that you expect to work... don't. (e.g. Clicking somewhere on the map doesn't move your viewpoint to that portion of the map. So anytime you want your party to move across a large play area, you need to pan across the entire thing and find the exit point). - Too much running across play-fields you have already finished. - Your four rangers don't have much personality compared to the other NPCs. - Save scumming. The random number generator resets with every try, so you can Quick Load your game and open every chest, win every encounter that isn't "0% Impossible." - Too many locked, trapped chests and boxes everywhere. Gets repetitive. See save scumming. Overall, if you can ignore the cons, which I was able to do, you'll find a lot to enjoy in this game. I don't know if it's worth $40, but it was worth every cent of the $15 I Kickstarted it with back in 2012.

review of wasteland 2 (patch4)

I haven't seen any other game on gog.com that has attracted such mixed reviews. Seems with this one you either love it or hate it. I'm not sure exactly what people are picking on as I am one of the people who love it. I backed it right from the start on kickstarter. I played the original wasteland in 1990 when I was in year 10 at high school. The original was awesome and I was totally addicted to it, couldn't put it down. Now, of course, it looks its age and graphically is virtually unplayable. Does the new Wasteland 2 have the same feel to it? I would say that it does. Having never played any of the Fallouts I'm probably the only person who isn't comparing it to Fallout 2. The fact that turn based battles have made a comeback is fantastic. I much prefer this to the real time who's attacking who and what's going on free for all of Neverwinter Nights 2. I'm not sure why the major publishers ditched them in the first place but I'm glad the smaller publishers have brought them back. I'll indulge in a little nostalgia here and say that these turn based skirmishes remind me of the glorious Death Knights of Krynn, Dark Queen of Krynn, etc that I played as a kid on the C64. I'd say that Brian Fargo really delivered on this one. Too many early access games and kickstarter projects collapse in a heap, just look at the fiasco with Elite: dangerous cancelling the offline mode! But not Wasteland 2. This game is exactly what I expected it to be and what I hoped it would be. I think that all the people bagging this game were expecting Fallout 4. If that's you, stay away because apparently its not. If you are looking for an awesome turn based RPG and don't have any misconceptions about this being Fallout then give it a go.

Really good, but not good enough.

I'd like to say only good things about this game. This game is like a pretty girl with a bad temper. It makes you wanna love it, and it made me wanna love it. But after some time of playing and thinking I realized we better break up. From the very begining the game is charming you with a great deep immersion feeling. The world looks real. It makes you believe it's real. Makes you wanna know more about it, get closer to it and become part of it. But it gives you the oportunity only to know more about it. No matter how hard I tried, I always had a feeling that I'm just an outside observer. Because this game is by no means an RPG. I mean besides the fact that you need to create a character and pick his look and skills, there's no role to play. Even dialog skills gives you nothing but some bonus rewards or let you avoid one of the countless fights. And here we step to the main problem: Wastland 2 rises a lot of expectations it does not fulfill in the future. From the very first moments I got the feeling that I'm gonna enjoy an advanced classic-fallout gamestyle. Lots of different skills and attributes gives you an impression of highly variable playthrough, but it is not so. To the end of the first quarter of the game I realised that almost all of the non-combat skills a basicly worthless. No hacker with ability to desrupt enemy's advance will ever get the efficiency of a combat-focus char with a good gun and good aim.(and combat is what you will do most of th time). The combat has an x-com style cover-system, yet the reallity is that most of the times it's much more efficient not to waste your action points getting to cover and start shooting right away. Many small details shows you how hard,cruel and dangeros this world is. But after a mid of the game you despise any danger. You just get the right perks, load the right guns and pray for those idiots who stand in your way. So,I wanne give some respect to the developers, and to wish: Try harder! You almost did it!
