I couldn't immerse myself into the World of this game. I've played some CRPGs and I love the feeling of being an adventurer. When I'm really drawn into a game I love exploring as much as possible and enjoy getting to know the world. With Wasteland, I didn't get that at all. I mechanically played a CRPG, but I didn't get the things I enjoy out of this genre. The conversations were dull, the art design forgettable and I really don't remember much of what happened in my 10 hours of playing. I couldn't bring myself to playing this game after work with my limited time and I just stopped. It isn't a bad game. If you play the genre more for the gameplay mechanics or are more into the setting and writing, I guess you could've a really fun time with it. For me personally it was very disappointing. I didn't encounter any bugs and the game ran well.
I bought this game because it was cheap and looked funny and no prior knowledge of this game. At first I was really confused, when I learned that you can't jump in this plattformer, ironically a genre that is often called Jump 'n' Runs in my country (Germany), but it didn't take long for me to really get into the controls. Basically you need to get near red or blue tiles to either pull yourself towards or push off them. It's really fun so far. I'm currently in the third world, and it's reasonably challenging. There were levels, were I struggled for a while, but I wouldn't say it's too hard. I'd say this game is fun both for veterans and new players of the genre. I was even thinking about giving it five stars, because it's so cheap, but I decided to rate the game without taking it's price into account. It's a strong recomendation from me.
I don't fathom how it is possible, that I have not heard about this game prior to buying it. I saw it on sale for a few bucks and just bought it impulsively. This game is an absolute steal for the price. I've played a few plattformers and this one is better than most that I've played, even some that were extremely popular. I play on normal and it's really difficult. But there are easier modes, were you have three lives instead of just one. The movement feels great and responsive and the soundtrack is an absolute banger. It doesn't really do anything extremely innovative, but it's doing everything very well. If you have the slightest interest in the genre, treat yourself and buy this game.
This is a very basic platforming game. It doesn't really do anything better than other games, but the mechanics are alright. There are few things that I could really call good, it's pretty much middle of the road. But since you can get it really cheap, I guess it doesn't hurt to try it.
Plays kind of weird. I hate how movement feels in this game.
I can really see how I would've liked this game if I had played it when it came out. The problem is that these days we are used to certain control styles and quality of life features. There is so much clunkyness in the controls. I just can't get into this game.
