Warning: History Lesson Incoming, skip past the stars if you don't care
*******************************************************


For those of you unaware, the original Wasteland was made on the Apple II by Bryan Fargo's team at Interplay Productions in 1986 to be released in 1988. After EA acquired the "Wasteland" brand name, Interplay was unable to release a Wasteland 2, so in 1997, under the lead of Tim Cain, Interplay released Wasteland's spiritual successor, Fallout.

They would then follow this up with Fallout 2 in 1998 before, to avert bankruptcy, they went public on the NASDAQ as Interplay Entertainment, took a $25 million investment from Titus Interactive in 2001, before finally being majority acquired by Titus interactive in 2002,, whereupon Bryan departed the company to found InXile Entertainment in October of that year.

Many of the employees that made the Fallout series, including Feargus Urquhart, Chris Avellone, Chris Parker, Darren Monahan, and Chris Jones, would soon follow after the closing of Interplay's Black Isle Studios and found Obsidian Entertainment and Titus Interactive would sell off the rights to Fallout to Bethesda Softworks in 2007. Obsidian would finally be invited back to the Fallout series by Bethesda in 2009 to develop Fallout: New Vegas, widely loved as the greatest 3D Fallout game.

Fast Forward to 2012, when InXile Entertainment, still under the leadership of Bryan Fargo, acquired rights to the Wasteland name from EA and announced their Kickstarter for Wasteland 2 which would finally be released in 2014. Finally, crowdfunding for Wasteland 3 would be announced on the Fig platform in 2016 to finally be relased in 2020.


TL;DR: Wasteland is the series that inspired Fallout and InXile Entertainment, the developers of this game are run by Bryan Fargo, the mastermind behind Wasteland.

THE MUSIC

The music for this game is absolutely wonderful and sets a great atmosphere. The best tracks tend to be triggered during massive battles while you're fighting. Not to the detriment of area music though, that is also amazing. The radio stations that play are mostly jokes from the various factions throughout the game, but there is the occasional music in there too.


THE VOICE ACTING

Unlike its predecessors, the majority of lines, if not all of them, are voice-acted in this game and it is awesome. You still have the option of reading the dialogue and all barks are sub(super?)-titled in the normal, Wasteland 2 way.


THE STORY

The story of this game is awesome and provides the perfect foil to Fallout 4's story. It provides a similar option of multiple factions to choose between, but does a much better job of showing the terrifying realities of living in a post-apocalyptic world and justifying some of the terrible choices made by the factions in the game to the point that it's hard to say which faction choice is the evil one and which is the good one. This is even an advantage that it holds over Fallout: New Vegas, as it's very easy to single out a baddy faction in that game, despite it's leaders arguments of: the Old World is gone and Old World morality doesn't work here anymore.


IN SUMMARY

Buy it, buy it, buy it.

It's a fun game, reminds me a lot of The Forest, especiallly when your base gets attacked by Greylings the first time and you have no defenses prepared.

If you played AoE2 as a kid like me, now's your chance to learn the game all over and finally beat the AI on a harder difficulty than Easy.

Good game, lots of customization options, cool guns, needs a few more hats though.
