Wasteland Remastered

This would be an insult at free.

Bless Gog for starting normal refunds as this game keeps all the flaws of a late 80s DOS and C64 game while barely doing more than giving it a nice audio score. And removing the macros which are all but needed to make the game moderately playable as a Reagan era game without actually fixing it thus requiring a minimum of 4 key presses to do anything. The graphics revamp is mediocre at best, merely highlighting how little they actually did in this remaster. Do you like step movement moving you a single square with no animation? How about tiny green text without any actual visible notification on how to see other pages of character information? Mouse use being made worse than going pure keyboard? Not being able to immediately swap to other party member pages? No right click or mouse over mechanics for things like what anything does, requiring going to a separate info page where half or more of the game story is put as journal entries. The previous release of Wasteland which I got for free as a Wasteland 2 backer did a better job bringing the dated elements into a post 1990 world. Avoid.
