“Finished in 73 hours with all DLC and sidecontent. It's a RPG in a post nuclear world with round based combat much like divinity or the baldurs gate 3. The game gives a lot of fallout vibes with the exception that the…”
“I really had fun playing this game. I haven't played any of the previous Wasteland games, but tried out Wasteland 2 because I like 3 so much. I was sold once there was a cat character with the hat. I'm planning on…”
“This is one of better turnbased CRPG, so if you like games like XCOM, ATOM RPG and classic Fallout, then Wasteland 3 is something for you. One of the key different between Wasteland 2 and 3 is that the game mechanics…”

“Buggy as heck with constant, repeated crashes. The allure of the Wasteland kookiness turned up to 10 and the soundtrack are not enough to keep me playing, especially since the devs have told us to get bent. Avoid and go…”

“A Great CRPG, the best post-apocalyptic one - improves on basically all aspects from WL2, which was a great game in its own right. Fun combat, lots of choice, different ways to solve the quests and consequences…”

“An excellent game! I rarely play games that I have beaten twice but this one was an exception. The story, the characters, and the systems that they've put in place are great. The depiction of Ronald Regan as a Giant…”
“I love this game. If you like CRPG's then this is a great one. Lots of wacky humor, not as dark in tone as I feared. Usually with a CRPG if I get to the end I am done but so far I want to play through again to check out…”

“Excellent game which outside of a couple of instances played very well when coop with my friend. Nice relaxed play style with an interesting story line and nice graphics with some challenging areas to get through.”
“It's really good. Fun, hard, agonizing choices. Good Job.”
“cool, good challenge on the hardest difficulty. takes a bit to get used to the left click action right click move. couple of times i've walked straight up to them by accident lol.”

“Its 2026 and there are still bugs. - At Steeltown fighting Ludlow game hangs in enemy's turn - Unit facing backward but shoots the otherway around - irritating no-turn while in vehicle/world view Wasteland 2 much better”
“Game was enjoyable enough until I stumbled upon a game-breaking bug ("missing DLC"). Said bug corrupts all saves made during a DLC part of the game (Steeltown, for me), and the only way to go around it is to install a…”

“Watered down version of Wasteland 2. Only one overworld, smaller maps, less quests, shorter quests, got rid of character portraits for 3D close-ups in dialogue, unnecessary crafting. There's almost no point to exploring…”

“Great game, enjoyed it a lot. Combat is fun with a lot of different builds. These builds also extend out into the overworld and other outside of combat abilities, giving you a pretty good variety of ways to tackle…”
“Pure repetitive trash. 100% of the game is about wandering in ugly washed-out decors, looting 90%+ useless items, speaking with people that's impossible to care about, using skills that really don't seem to impact the…”

“Very flawed with bugs all over. Performance will fall off a cliff even with modern high end specs like a 9950x3d and 50 series gpu and very adequate ram in long play sessions. The game is lovely outside of that. Has a…”
“Great game, has some bugs. It feels like it pushes political ideology from many different fronts the whole game. At first, I thought it was very conservative the way most characters hated dealing with refugees but it…”

“Yes! This is the closest thing you will get to a modern Fallout turn-based game. 10/10”
— a player, Steam review · 242 hrs played“This game is almost wholly responsible for me getting into CRPGs, its post-apocalyptic setting and story tone were immediate, while the gameplay reminded me of playing fallout 3 but from a top-down, isometric point of view and I could not get enough. Then came the knowledge that…”
