You’ll notice how much freedom you’re given as you try to resolve a problem, and it doesn’t have to be through combat. There is more than one of these giant map areas, and your team will have to hunt for all of its secrets. You’ll start to reveal hidden caches, shrines, towns, and places to explore as you move across the map, and there will be places you can’t survive until you gain a few levels and have better equipment.
That world is open for you to explore from the beginning. Sometimes, it’s all good or all bad, and there are usually more than two ways to get something done. The game doesn’t always present you with a clear good and bad choice. It’s amazing how many different and odd groups have formed, and you can interact with all of them to help solve problems and create new ones. There is an overarching story that ties all this together that will lead you from A to B, but it’s the journey over the destination. Specialization will get you farther, but the game doesn’t stop you from building any character you want. Despite skills like field medic being more useful, there are no bad skills, because everything will come in handy eventually. These range from higher proficiency in a certain weapon class, the ability to fix the mysterious toasters you’ll find as you play, giving your character an extra point in strength, or the chance to take a free shot with a pistol. When you level up, there are skill points, ability points, and perks to increase your current skills or to choose a new one and generally improve your character. You can build each one of them individually, or you can play a prebuilt team. In the beginning, you start with a team of four Rangers, but you will find more to join your cause. There are regular settlements, nasty bandits, liars, thieves, weirdos, cults, robots, and screaming goats. The end of the world has come and gone a while back, and most people are trying to eke out an existence. You are a newly founded Ranger team, the closest thing to a lawman most of these people have ever seen in their lifetimes. If I were to point to the place that Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut shines as brightly as a detonated nuke, it would be the story, although stories would be more accurate. After many hours trekking through a harsh and unforgiving post-apocaplypse, the hype is real, and I am really excited to play Wasteland 3. I’ve never played a Wasteland game, but, when I heard Wasteland 3 on the way, I wanted to dive into the series and understand what gives it such devoted fans, especially since it’s on PS Now.
