“Wasteland 3 doesn’t bring much new to the table, both as a CRPG and as a piece of post-apocalyptic fiction. But, it’s a terrifically executed role-playing game that rewards player investment from beginning to end.”

33bits	Juanma F. Padilla	95 / 100	08-26-2020	After the excellent Wasteland 2, we were excited to get our hands on the new installment, and we can say without fear that it has met expectations. Wasteland 3 is a sign of the love that InXile has for his work and Brian Fargo for the genre that has created a name for him. If you are a lover of the saga or the genre, do not hesitate to enjoy it.

Area Xbox	Unknown	8.7 / 10	08-26-2020	This challenging turn based RPG you’ll have a blast fighting on Colorado it has a ton of options and ways to interact with it’s world and missions, the graphics are nothing special but this won’t break the experience.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	Diego Perez	4.5 / 5 stars	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is one of the best RPGs I’ve played in years, and it’s one you absolutely should not skip.	Read review
BaziCenter	Alireza Ghotbi	9 / 10	09-17-2020	Some small issues aside, Wasteland 3 is a superb RPG and a huge step forward for inXile studio. Wasteland 3 is a classic RPG with great story and characters and challenging but fun combat system that is appealing to both new and old RPG fans.	Read review
But Why Tho?	Charles Hartford	7.5 / 10	09-03-2020	So, when all is said and done, Wasteland 3 provides a character-filled, tactically challenging gameplay experience, providing you have the patience to get to it. Even with that said though, I certainly have enjoyed my time with the game, and I have every intention to keep on playing it.	Read review
Cerealkillerz	Julian Bieder	8.8 / 10	08-26-2020	On Paper Wasteland 3 sounds like the perfect RPG-Dream but the execution leaves much to be desired. Bugs, Glitches and graphics that doesn’t really represent a game that releases and the end of this console generation are a bit of a letdown. Everything else from the great story, entertaining NPCs, solid battle system, clever leveldesign over to the love for details is amazing, besides some flaws that should soon be fixed, as inXile and Brian Fargo promise. Everyone that wasn’t happy with the latest Fallout Games will surely love Wasteland 3.	Read review
CGMagazine	Lane Martin	9 / 10	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is a lovely return to the post nuclear apocalypse with fun gameplay and interesting choices at its forefront, though at times it can be a bit clumsy in its implementation.	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	Lise Leitner	9 / 10	08-28-2020	Wasteland 3 does an amazing job of keeping players invested in its world through its writing, sound, and visuals. When it comes to world-building and characters, Wasteland 3 leaves its predecessors in the Wasteland franchise in the dust.	Read review
Chicas Gamers	Adrián de Francisco	Recommended	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is a old-school role-playing game, with a compelling story, a combat system that promises but is not groundbreaking and some funny moments and black mood, which always remind us that we are in a post apocalyptic world, but with a smile. Don’t forget the powerful character editor, rhythm voices, and the beautiful scenery that puts you in that atmosphere of cold and snowy Colorado.	Read review
COGconnected	Tony Bae	90 / 100	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 doesn’t pull any punches with its subject matter in sexuality, violence, and language. But if you are fine with that, I would highly recommend you give Wasteland 3 a shot, especially if you were (or still are) a Fallout fan.	Read review
Cubed3	Sandy Kirchner-Wilson	9 / 10	10-02-2020	Wasteland 3 is an absolute blast. The well balanced, if unforgiving, difficulty feels pitch perfect for the story and world. It is funny, harrowing and at times even verging on dark, telling a compelling tail of surviving in this terrifying world. Not only is the narrative great but the strategic combat centric gameplay is absolutely stunning. It is impossible not to recommend this title; it is one of a kind.	Read review
Cultured Vultures	Emil Gunnarsson	8.5 / 10	08-28-2020	Wasteland 3 is a terrific sequel that blows its predecessor out of the water in every aspect.	Read review
DASHGAMER.com	Dan Rizzo	8 / 10	09-08-2020	This action-adventure RPG is an incredible thrillride, and honestly one of the best title’s you will play all year. Wasteland 3 is an essential in 2020.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Steven McGehee	8.4 / 10	03-23-2019	here is an absolute gem of a game to be had outside of the bugs. I heartily recommend Wasteland 3 if you’re as optimistic — or at least as forgiving and patient — as I have been thus far about the playability of the game.	Read review
Digital Trends	Tom Caswell	4 / 5 stars	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is a rewarding game that offers unprecedented choice and is a great jumping on point for new players.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Matt C.	4 / 5 stars	09-18-2020	Wasteland 3 certainly is enjoyable. It’s true to the series’ roots and the proto-Fallout, and understands what it is that makes XCOM-style tactical RPGs so captivating. But most of all, it uses its sense of humour and sharp writing to keep its post-apocalypse interesting, despite how well-worn that path has become in the decades since Wasteland first hit.	Read review
DualShockers	Kris Cornelisse	9 / 10	08-26-2020	Improving on its predecessor in almost every way, Wasteland 3 is one of the best and most reactive RPGs I’ve played in a long time.	Read review
EGM	Mollie L Patterson	Recommended	08-26-2020	At least in my time with it, Wasteland 3 has been a fascinating experience. I’ve come to appreciate its depth of gameplay, character, building, and exploration, even if some of its pieces and parts still feel very foreign to me.	Read review
Eurogamer	Wesley Yin-Poole	Recommended	08-26-2020	inXile’s old-school RPG is the Fallout game we’ve been craving.	Read review
Fextralife	Castielle	8.3 / 10	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is a throwback to the old School RPGs of yesteryear, while providing a new combat experience and a bigger world. Players that liked previous Fallout Games, or games like Wasteland 2 or Baldur’s Gate will feel right at home with this title, and will have the opportunity to try X-Com like combat. For the amount of content provided, 60 USD is a very good price, and fans of the genre should get more than their money’s worth.	Read review
FingerGuns	Greg Hicks	8 / 10	08-30-2020	A massive and detailed tactical RPG, Wasteland 3 offers so much to do. A few technical and visual issues occur, but nothing that will ruin the experience.	Read review
Game Informer	Daniel Tack	8.5 / 10	08-27-2020	The world is yours to shape and form however you choose. While a bit rough around the edges, the exploration and discovery entertainment is top-notch.	Read review

Game Revolution	Jason Faulkner	4 / 5 stars	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is a marvel of a game, especially from a small studio like inExile. It’s not without its flaws, but the excellent writing and enthralling world overshadow those.	Read review
GameCrate	David Sanchez	9 / 10	08-27-2020	Wasteland 3 is an outstanding RPG. It features a rich world with fun battles, great characters, and plenty of choices to keep you busy for a very long time.

Read review
Gamefa	Amirmehdi Namjoo	9.3 / 10	09-13-2020	Wasteland 3 is an impressive CRPG that takes place in a post-apocalyptic frozen Colorado. Its main story and side missions feature believable, remarkable, and well-developed characters. It also has a robust combat system that makes you think very carefully about approaching your enemy and how you build your party members. There are some minor technical bugs in the game, but they usually don’t significantly affect the overall experience. In conclusion, it is a must-buy for every CRPG fan.	Read review
GameGrin	Adam Kerr	9 / 10	09-05-2020	Wasteland 3 is a fantastic game in a series that is constantly improving. Not only am I excited for whatever comes next for Wasteland, we should all be eagerly awaiting the next step for inXile Entertainment too.	Read review
GameMAG	Unknown	7 / 10	09-15-2020	Wasteland 3 is in no way a bad or a mediocre game. You can clearly see the passion that went into it’s development. You will spend hours upon hours with dozens of well thought out non-linear quests, while interacting with easy to use and well made role-playing systems, all of which gives you true old-school gaming experience. But at the same time Wasteland 3 just can’t offer anything we haven’t seen before, and myriad of countless technical hiccups is definitely not something we expected to see.	Read review
Gamers Heroes	Johnny Hurricane	7 / 10	08-31-2020	The single-player in Wasteland 3 runs fine, but the co-op is currently a hot mess. If you plan to play co-op, wait for a few more patches before picking it up.	Read review
GameSkinny	Daniel Hollis	9 / 10	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 invokes feelings of classic RPGs such as Fallout and manages to nail the feel and tone perfectly in a modernized setting.	Read review

GameWatcher	Marcello Perricone	8.5 / 10	08-26-2020	A fantastic RPG that superbly mixes player choice and great combat to something bigger than the sum of its parts.	Read review
GamingBolt	Ravi Sinha	9 / 10	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is a heady crescendo of post-apocalyptic story-telling. Its combat is compelling and fun while its characters and overall plot are engrossing, even when it goes to some dark places. A must-play for tactical RPG fans.	Read review
GamingTrend	Austin Fern	95 / 100	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is one of the best RPGs around. The world is fantastic, the characters are interesting, it is packed with content, and combat is engaging. It has a few issues, but the game is just too good for them to distract me.	Read review
GBAtemp	Jakub Kowalski	8.6 / 10	09-02-2020	Reviewing Wasteland 3 was tough. It’s always hard to do justice to a product that you thoroughly enjoy, but one that simply doesn’t work as it should. This game was destined for glory, but it trips at the final yard line, and I can’t overlook that in good conscience	Read review

GRYOnline.pl	Przemysław Zamęcki	8 / 10	09-01-2020	Wasteland 3 is great. Brian Fargo delivers an excellent RPG as a farewell to the old generation of consoles. This game offers tons of options to shape the world, make decisions, and suffer the consequences. Despite some flaws, Wasteland 3 also offers a good combat system and keeps the player entertained.

Hardcore Gamer	Fran Soto	4.5 / 5 stars	08-27-2020	Wasteland is back and better than ever with all new settings, narratives and gameplay, but with that same wacky flavor the franchise is known for.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	José David Muñoz	90 / 100	08-28-2020	Wasteland 3 proves that inXile can make great games regardless of time.

IGN	Leif Johnson	8 / 10	08-27-2020	Choices with major consequences, satisfying combat, and a boldly distinctive and humorous post-apocalyptic world make Wasteland 3 a memorable RPG.	Read review
IGN Italy	Stefano Castagnola	8.2 / 10	08-29-2020	A solid RPG experience in the frozen wastelands of Colorado, that will satisfy gamers looking for hours and hours of rich quests in a nice post-apocalyptic setting.	Read review
IGN Spain	Álex Pareja	8 / 10	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 knows how to open to new players keeping the old school essence. It’s not a revolution on the genre or in the post apocaliptic proposal, but it won’t matter to the franchise lovers.	Read review
Impulsegamer	Chris O’Connor	4.5 / 5 stars	09-12-2020	If you are a fan of Fallout then I highly recommend Wasteland 3.	Read review
INDIANTVCZ	Jakub Kadlus	9 / 10	09-26-2020	Wasteland 3 has everything you want from an apocalyptic RPG. A story you influence yourself. A dueling system that will keep you entertained after 50 hours. But mostly a sense of humour that fits nicely into the war-ravaged world. So if you can forgive the game a long load or the occasional buggy, then maybe the game is exactly what you were looking for and we think 9 out of 10 is a grade really deserved.	Read review
Jump Dash Roll	Ant Barlow	8 / 10	09-17-2020	Solid tactical RPG gameplay set in a varied world filled with incredible characters and ‘water-cooler’ storytelling. Glaring issues aside, Wasteland 3 shines as the pinnacle of this genre and as one of the best games released this year despite its issues.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	8 / 10	09-01-2020	A terrifying vision of future America, that already seems worryingly accurate, and also one of the most open-ended role-playing games of recent years, with a smart line in dark comedy.	Read review
MonsterVine	Sean Halliday	4.5 / 5 stars	09-11-2020	Wasteland 3 is a credit to the revival of CRPGs in a time where mainstream audiences think picking a perk and slamming one button is the ‘RPG experience’.	Read review
New Game Network	Josh Hinke	70 / 100	09-03-2020	Wasteland 3 is a competent RPG that struggles to distinguish itself from the many other entries of the genre. With such games, the mechanics are all relatively the same, and the writing, choices, and world-building are so much more important. And in these areas, Wasteland 3 is proficient, but not overly impressive.	Read review
Niche Gamer	Cwb	8.5 / 10	08-26-2020	Overall, Wasteland 3 is a perfectly fun and enjoyable RPG, and is able to run smoothly on PC. Fans of the original Fallout games will find a lot to enjoy with the mix of turn-based combat and classic CRPG exploration. With it’s voice-acting cast, musical score, visceral combat, and engaging plot and dialogue, there’s not much to complain about.	Read review
Noisy Pixel	Azario Lopez	9 / 10	08-31-2020	Wasteland 3 will consume your life as it did mine. The game makes progression come across so naturally through its narrative focused world-building made by player choice. During the countless quests across impressive setpieces, I would say Wasteland 3 is one of the best entries in the RPG genre. Throw in accessible leveling features, likable characters, and wrap them up with an engaging cover-based battle system, and you have everything you need to keep you playing for months.	Read review

PC Invasion	Jason Rodriguez	8.5 / 10	08-26-2020	There are a few misgivings related to Wasteland 3’s technical aspects, mechanics, and overall challenge. However, its cast of characters (both old and new), the switch to a traditional turn-based combat system, and branching paths filled with decisions and dire consequences make for a superb journey with the Desert Rangers.

Player2.net.au	Matt Hewson	Recommended	08-26-2020	With a focus on freedom of choice that is second-to-none, Wasteland 3 has set the benchmark for CRPG narratives, all the while being supported by wonderfully engaging gameplay and roleplaying mechanics.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Eric Hauter	8.5 / 10	08-28-2020	Wasteland 3 is a stunner of a game. All the strategic combat and twisted story choices the series is known for are present here -and done better than they ever have been before. Some technical issues hold the game back, but with time to patch things up, Wasteland 3 will be a stone cold classic.	Read review

PSX Brasil	Thiago de Alencar Moura	95 / 100	09-08-2020	In many ways, Wasteland 3 is a game that does everything that is proposed in a spectacular way, delivering one of the best stories of the year together with fantastic gameplay that should be on the radar of all players.	Read review
Pure Playstation	Jeremy Peterson	9 / 10	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is a deep and satisfyingly replayable CRPG that is a love letter to fans of the post-apoc games from the late eighties and the nineties. It may not be the sharpest looking game in 2020, but for me, it is a perfect marriage of old-school ideas and current-gen looks and depth that I will be playing for a looooong time.	Read review
Push Square	Robert Ramsey	8 / 10	09-04-2020	Wasteland 3 is a fantastic post-apocalyptic RPG. Great writing, satisfying, tactical combat, and a world full of memorable characters and meaningful player choice make this a no-brainer for fans of the genre. If you can look past the bugs, there’s so much to love about this deliciously dark humoured excursion.	Read review
Rapid Reviews UK	Rob Lake	4.5 / 5 stars	09-02-2020	When we think of post-apocalyptic games, the Fallout series is the one that most people think of. With its (now) first-person gameplay, hunting down Ghouls and Mutants, to collecting loot and doing quests for its quite often bizarre cast of characters. However Fallout owes a lot of its gameplay to a franchise that’s been quietly hiding in the background waiting for its time to re-emerge from its slumber.	Read review
Rock, Paper, Shotgun	Brendan Caldwell	Not Recommended	08-27-2020	If I have to fight through listless combat, buggy UI, and an onslaught of juvenile gags to see one of the many endings, I’d rather leave the snowfields of Colorado behind. To hell with the consequences.	Read review
Rocket Chainsaw	Andrew Cathie	4.5 / 5 stars	09-09-2020	Overall, Wasteland 3 is both a massive improvement on its predecessor and a fantastic game its own right. It’s filled with good writing, interesting quests and deliciously difficult turn-based combat.	Read review
Saudi Gamer	مشعل	8 / 10	09-05-2020	A game that went under the radar for many, it surpassed in terms of quality in writing and decisions making consciences, even with annoying technical problems, and control problems for the new gamers on these kinds of games, it is still considered one of the best experiences of this year for sure.	Read review
Saving Content	Scott Ellison II	5 / 5 stars	08-26-2020	It took me a while to realize how much these interactions, whether it be the interpersonal conversation or combat encounters themselves, stuck with me. Wasteland 3 has rules, but they only exist for you to bend them. With limitless character creation combinations, branching dialogue choices that affect what quests you do or don’t experience, and multiple endings, Wasteland 3 is an expanse of content and opportunity. The change in locale does wonders, no longer relying on a tired post-apocalyptic biome. Wasteland 3 has a wonderful backdrop in Colorado’s frozen wastes, making it the perfect place to spend a nuclear winter.	Read review
Screen Rant	Christopher Teuton	4 / 5 stars	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 takes players to a new location and presents them with equally unfamiliar challenges, yet still perfectly demonstrates all of the reasons why this series has had die-hard fans for over three decades, and is absolutely worth playing for anyone looking for their next post-apocalyptic fix.

Shacknews	Josh Hawkins	9 / 10	08-26-2020	If you’re a big fan of the original Wasteland games, or just an RPG fan in general, then I highly recommend picking up Wasteland 3 and giving it a try.	Read review
Sirus Gaming	Erickson Melchor	8.5 / 10	08-31-2020	Wasteland 3 is an amazing game from start to finish. There is even enough content here for multiple playthroughs, despite the fact that it doesn’t have nearly as many side quests as an Elder Scrolls game. It’s not hard to imagine investing 100+ hours into this game, it is that good. It’s good that the bugs and glitches only serve as a reminder that it is a very big game. One that easily hooks you on the world and its struggles.	Read review

SomHráč.sk	Róbert Herda	85 / 100	10-13-2020	Wasteland 3 is one of the more pleasant surprises of this year. It’s not simply a tribute to the old-school gaming, but a great game in itself. The balance between old-school and modern mechanics is just right and feels pretty fresh.	Read review
SpazioGames	Paolo Sirio	8.3 / 10	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 doesn’t change its predecessor’s successful formula but, outside of certain design limitations, it perfects and modernizes it. It’s easily the best game in the franchise, in terms of pure technique, and one that clearly gives you an idea of what inXile is able to achieve.	Read review
The Games Machine	Danilo Dellafrana	8.7 / 10	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is a good role-playing game, technically passable but enriched by a dense network of intriguing subplots that will push the most dedicated to play it several times. Watch out for the ever-present release bugs, though – best to wait a couple patches if you want to avoid unnecessary hurdles.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Thomas Hughes	9 / 10	09-02-2020	Wasteland 3 is a delight to experience with some of the most engaging RPG mechanics in the series to date. Its dense and detailed world is only outshone by the character and its cast of vibrant and wacky characters, who are all brought to life by the introduction of voiced dialogue. If you’re a fan of RPGs, isometric-adventure games or turn-based combat, Wasteland 3 is an absolute must.	Read review
Unboxholics	Λεωνίδας Στραβάκος	Not Recommended	09-28-2020	Wastelands 3 is an excellent old school tactical turn-based RPG, that is unfortunately plagued by its many technical problems.	Read review
Use a Potion	Unknown	9 / 10	09-10-2020	Wasteland 3 is an absolute blast to play, with its deep and involving story complimented by some wonderful gameplay mechanics that’ll keep players hooked in for hours on end. There really is a whole lot of things to see within its rich world, and honestly, discovering more about the narrative, its characters, and the events occurring behind the scenes kept me utterly enthralled in the adventure. I loved it.	Read review
WayTooManyGames	Thomas Medina	9 / 10	08-26-2020	All in all, this is the game I wanted so badly for Wasteland 2 to be. It doesn’t just repeat what came before, but expands upon it all. Not just mechanically, but story wise as well.	Read review
Wccftech	Francesco De Meo	9 / 10	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 features everything only the best role-playing games do: an engaging story powered by excellent writing, compelling characters, tons of customization options, and a deep tactical combat system that feels fresh even after dozens of hours. But, most of all, it features a living world that reacts to what the player does, and changes depending on how the player decides to deal with the troubles ahead, providing a role-playing experience of the highest degree, one that very few games can boast of.	Read review
We Got This Covered	Todd Rigney	4 / 5 stars	09-01-2020	Wasteland 3 balances solid turn-based gameplay with strong, tongue-in-cheek storytelling. Longtime fans of the series may despise the new streamlined interface, but those who were intimidated by Wasteland 2’s dated presentation may find this one easier to approach.	Read review
WellPlayed	Kieran Stockton	7.5 / 10	09-16-2020	Technical blemishes aside, Wasteland 3 harkens back to the days of the classic CRPG	Read review
Windows Central	Jez Corden	5 / 5 stars	08-26-2020	Wasteland 3 is a testament to the power of the branching narrative, taking it far beyond binary choices and into a grand canopy of cause and effect. It gives the wintry climbs of Colorado a lifelike quality that must have been painstaking to build. The most impressive RPG in years, Wasteland 3 is a masterpiece.	Read review
Worth Playing	Cody Medellin	8.5 / 10	09-08-2020	Wasteland 3 does everything you expect from the series but in a sleeker package. From the freedom in building character abilities to your approach to the missions or which ending to strive for, there’s plenty that’s within your control, and those variations help if you want to play through the game multiple times.
