Pros
- Wasteland 2 and 3 scratch the isometric Fallout itch for me.
- I think Wasteland 3 did it quite well, and there's no reason to expect or even want innovation or evolution in every game. For me it's innovative enough that such a game even comes out in this day and age :-) ... All in all, for me Waste...
- Wasteland 3, on the other hand, is spectacular and keeps up the quality right till the end, legitimately one of the best CRPGs I've ever played.
- I have no trouble enjoying modern CRPGs like ... Wasteland 3
- Wasteland 3 was one of my favorite CRPGs of the last 10 years. It's just a really fun game and the writing is actually fairly good.
Cons
- I agree with this so much. W3 could have been so much better, it has a lot of flaws, but I can't find many like it.
- The writing is fantastic. It manages to be a combination of sick, serious and silly that really sells the end of the world situation everyone has been living in. ... The combat is poorly designed and unfortunately you do a lot of it. ......

For me it's innovative enough that such a game even comes out in this day and age :-) ... All in all, for me Wasteland 3 was an amazing game because of the context - as far as I'm aware, there is nothing else like it (turn based, squad level, RPG-like, non-fantasy) at least as good or better in this decade.

Great game, surprisingly reactive at times too. ... It's the closest I felt like playing one of the old Fallout games. Really felt like a genuine spiritual successor.

I loved this game quite a bit, flaws and all.
I agree that the writing is good, overall I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys CRPGs.
The writing is fantastic. It manages to be a combination of sick, serious and silly that really sells the end of the world situation everyone has been living in. ... The combat is poorly designed and unfortunately you do a lot of it. ... The story structure is pretty standard for an RPG and the combat is forgettable. The writing is fun though and is where the game really shines.
