Wasteland Remastered

It is raw, eccentric, and historically important, especially for completionists who want to understand the roots of modern CRPGs.[/b] This is the 1988 classic that inspired Fallout, rebuilt with updated visuals and sound while keeping its original systems intact. It is a game that trusts you to figure things out. Completing it fully means reading carefully, mapping manually, and accepting that mistakes are permanent.

Without Wasteland there would be no Fallout. At times I hated this game. It's repetitive, frustrating, unnecessarily difficult and obtuse. It's confusing and not particularly pretty to look at and yet.... Here I am 85 hours of total playtime later. It's taken me a few attempts to beat the game, but beat it I have. There's something special about this game that kept bringing me back. If you're a gamer from a certain generation then i think you'll enjoy Wasteland. If you're a more modern gamer then you'll probably despise the game from the start and should avoid. Me personally however, will more than likely jump back in for another go and try out some different builds/solutions to the obstacles the game presents as you move forward.

Wasteland: Remastered is a fascinating piece of CRPG history, but it’s not easy to love. I was told to play this before diving into Fallout 1 since it laid the groundwork for it, and while I appreciate its legacy, the combat is painfully cumbersome - even as someone with years of CRPG experience. The upgraded graphics and sound do a solid job of modernizing the presentation, but the old school gameplay systems mostly seem untouched, and the overall charm wore off quickly. It scratched the nostalgia itch for a while, but I can’t say that it held me for long. This won't deter me from getting into the more modern Wasteland 2 and 3 games, though.
