Following the critically acclaimed 2014 Game of the Year winner Wasteland 2, the RPG series that pioneered the post-apocalyptic genre in video games returns with Wasteland 3. 

In Wasteland 3 you take command of a squad of Desert Rangers, lawmen and women in a post-nuclear world, trying to rebuild society from the ashes. More than a century after the bombs fell, you’re fighting a losing battle to keep your beloved Arizona alive. Then the self-proclaimed Patriarch of Colorado radios, promising aid if you'll do a job he can only entrust to an outsider—rescue his land from the ambitions of his three bloodthirsty children.

You’re dispatched on a desperate quest from the scorching deserts to the snowy mountains to start from scratch, building a new base, finding a snow-worthy vehicle, training new recruits, and fighting your way through hostile frozen wastes. All the while, you'll have to decide who to trust in this land torn apart by corruption, intrigue, warring factions, crazed cultists, cutthroat gangs, and bitter sibling rivalries. Build a reputation for yourself by making decisions that will profoundly impact Colorado, its inhabitants and the story you experience. Will you be Colorado’s savior or its worst nightmare?

Wasteland 3 is a squad-based RPG from inXile entertainment, featuring challenging tactical turn-based combat and a deep, reactive story full of twists, turns, and brutal ethical decisions that will keep you hooked whether you’re a Wasteland veteran or new to the series. Create a squad of up to six Rangers and customize them with perks and abilities geared to your playstyle. You even get your own battle truck, which you can upgrade into a hardened war beast, bristling with weapons, to help mow down your enemies.

Console Game on PC

If you are a PC gamer, avoid this hot mess. It's got underwhelming cartoon graphics that reek of a console game that was stitched together to try to monetize the PC market as well. Poor game controls, bad dialogue, and bad voice acting are just the beginning. Game is designed to be played with controllers, not a keyboard and mouse. hard to justify anything beyond $15-$20 in price, and that's ONLY if you can't find something better, which I assure you, you can. This is not even in the same ballpark, let alone, state, country, or hemisphere as Wasteland 2. Extremely disappointing.

OK

Gameplay: A mix of Divinity: Original Sin, XCOM, and the original Fallout games. AI (Pathfinding): Atrocious Music: Sets the mood well, I thought. Graphics: Mediocre Overall: I'm not hooked, but I never got in to Wasteland 2. Maybe the game gets better, I guess I'll see.

Clunky, Boring with difficulty spikes.

It started off good ( wacky character creator and stats! You can make giants or tiny people with only luck stats :)) however 2-3 hours in and the game shows its ugly sides. - Gated quest. Players need to grind in order to progress some quests. I got 1-2 shotted by a "normal" enemy where as it takes many hits to kill said enemy. Yes I was lower level but the game didn't show me the "AREA LEVEL" before I have entered it resulting in a lot of trial and error. - Rather bland writing and "cutscenes" at times. - Clunky controls ( the amount of times I triggered traps by accident or got my whole party break the stealth because the characters won't try to hide by themselves.... is staggering ) Overall not a bad experience but honestly there are better tactical games out there ( gameplay wise ) than this one.

patch urgently needed

I don't usually write any reviews but this game puts me through a lot of frustration. I love the wasteland-series, this part however, has so many (minor) bugs that it seems like that the game just isn't ready for release yet. Simply starting the game makes my whole system freeze at times - ending in a hard shutdown. Not cool. Thought it might be just my system but Reddit is full those minor bugs and related issues. Would be 4-5 stars for me without this huge pile of issues..
