The best post-apocalyptic RPG ever made. Whether you've played the other games in the series or not, you'll enjoy this game if you're a fan of party-based RPGs.
There are many different ways to approach situations in Wasteland 3, both in and out of combat. Skill checks, reputation, companions and past choices all contribute to how things will play out. And when I say choices matter, they really, really matter. A simple decision you made hours ago can come back around to bite you, or help you, later on. There's almost never a purely 'good' outcome, and moral decisions are a lot greyer than in other RPGs.
As someone who's not really a fan of turn-based Action Point combat, I still really enjoyed the combat in this game. With complete flexibility in how you set up your squad, you can approach combat however you want. Hack or disable robots and turrets to give you an edge, use the environment to your advantage, or just brute force your way through it all. The choice is yours.
The game's presentation is also excellent. Fantastic sound design, voice acting and music with great visuals. Quests are mostly well constructed, and it's clear the focus was on quality rather than quantity since there's not too many side quests, but they're all substantial and fleshed out.
All in all, a brilliant game for fans of tactical RPGs, or anyone who's looking for a good post-apocalyptic game with a great story, characters and combat.
