Almost perfect games appear very rarely, especially not in the role-playing game genre. In complex RPGs with countless decisions, combat situations and character values, something can always go wrong. The best example: Baldur's Gate 3, which, for all its ingenuity, is not without errors and had to be patched diligently after its release.

Wasteland 3 also undoubtedly has small problems and aches and pains somewhere. But for me it was still very close to legendary perfection at the time of its release.

Because Wasteland 3 shows how well classic CRPG virtues still work, even 25 years after the genre's heyday, if you just package them in a modern way. Thanks to publisher Microsoft's big wallet, developer Inxile Entertainment was able to implement the ambitions of part 2 much better this time, and the result feels worlds smoother.

In any case, I loved traveling through this crazy post-apocalypse again, facing crazy robots and even crazier clown gangs with my group of rangers and pondering tricky quest decisions. This may not be perfect - but what role-playing game is?
