Wasteland 3 is an RPG that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world shrouded in mystery and danger. You will have to make various decisions that will shape the world around you, while facing many threats.

Released on August 28, 2020, on Steam, Wasteland 3 is a post-apocalyptic RPG developed by inXile Entertainment. In this game, you are the commander of a squad of six Rangers responsible for enforcing the law. However, you are sent to Colorado to save the region from a major threat.

Thus, you’ll need to create a character with dozens of skills and customize your squad according to your playstyle. Whether you’re playing solo or in co-op mode with a friend, you’ll need to explore numerous areas, build a new base, and fight for your survival.

Indeed, danger is everywhere, and you'll have to face rival factions, cults, and gangs in tactical turn-based combat. Of course, you have several weapons and skills at your disposal to help you, as well as vehicles that you can customize.

However, you’ll also have to make difficult choices that will affect the world around you. As a result, you could become the savior of Colorado or its greatest enemy.

Currently available for $11.99 instead of $39.99 until June 15, 2026, Wasteland 3 is appreciated by 84% of players based on more than 22,000 reviews. On Metacritic, it has a Metascore of 85 and a user score of 7.7. But, while players love its story, character design, and universe, the game has several flaws.

Indeed, many players have pointed out bugs in certain areas that prevent them from playing and that have not been fixed. Furthermore, the difficulty can sometimes seem unbalanced. Finally, while this 70% discount may seem appealing, the game’s lowest price was $7.99 on June 29, 2023, during an 80% sale, according to SteamDB.
