There is more emphasis in a dramatic moment than in the previous version, which seemed more like someone just reading from a script for the first time. It’s not clear if the entire game received all new voice overs or not, but the most noticeable enhancement is the actors’ delivery of specific lines. New dialogue and voice overs have also been added. When you’ve taken the time to iron out even the smallest details, it shows the player that you care about your game. You can tell there was much more attention to detail, which is something I personally greatly appreciate in games. New textures and environmental additions fill the void that was a pretty barren map in the past. Using the new Unity 5.0 engine, graphics look more crisp and gritty. The game’s entire graphics quality was given an overhaul for this version. Your squad roams the desolate streets of Arizona and Los Angeles investigating a strange radio signal received after the death of a fellow ranger. In Wasteland 2, you play a squad of Rangers set 15 years after the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust that took place in 1998. This time the game made it’s way to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in addition to a PC/Mac/Linux release. ( Fun Fact: This later lead to Interplay developing the original Fallout)Ĭoming back for a sequel after so many years is a daunting task, but last year’s Wasteland 2 was met with positive reviews, garnering an 81 overall Metacritic score.Īll that being so, a year later we are graced with a director’s cut. The game featured a plethora of text-based adventures along with classic RPG elements. The original Wasteland was released in 1988 on DOS, Apple II and Commodore 64. Wasteland 2 is first and foremost a role-playing game in the old school PC style. You get to experience things you may have missed the first go around, or make choices that impact the outcome of the game entirely. Like most games, there is usually incentive to go back and replay from the very beginning. It’s not exactly like playing a completely different game, but moreso adding a nice and refreshing feeling to an already good experience. Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut delivers a fresh set of graphic upgrades, new voice over work, and gameplay modifications. This is a fantastic place to start and there is no need to double back.
Price: $39.99 (Free upgrade to Director’s Cut for owners of Wasteland 2)įirst things first, if you haven’t played the original Wasteland 2, don’t fret. Platform: PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, PlayStation 4
