I did not play the first Wasteland so I didn't buy it out of nostalgia as I'm sure many people did. I enjoy strategy and tactics games. To the point, Wasteland 2 is a pretty decent tactics game. It's got the RPG HP/XP elements, more than a few possible specialization options, and okay graphics. The music is nice but becomes repetitive about halfway through. The voice acting is hit or miss - there are several spoken phrases which made me wonder if they had any audio direction at all. As in many games where possible attacks are shown with percentage to hit, it does seem like the player gets some head-shakingly poor luck throughout. This is fine, as it is a wasteland and everything is falling apart anyway. Sort of adds to the feel of it. I am about halfway through and have no emotional attachment to any character beyond my natural OCD to never let a comrade fall (which means save often). The storyline is amateur and not engaging. When the game was first released, I would have bought it for the $40 retail price they were asking, if I weren't in financial straits. Thankfully I decided to wait and got it at Best Buy for $10 - and I would say that the game barely makes it to that price point with regards to its quality. Disappointing in terms of how excited I was at a tactics game coming to Xbox One. Hopefully a more experienced studio can do better within the same genre, even as an Indie game.
