At the end of the day, no matter how many glossy coats of paint you put on it, this is a game from another time. It feels old, outdated, outmoded. However, within this game is an amazing history lesson or two about game design and excellent storytelling, something that Brian Fargo and his inXile team have been offering up time and again for all of us to enjoy. Does war never change? Wasteland Remastered doesn’t use the trademarked phrase explicitly, but there is certainly something timeless about this game. It may only be valuable to hardcore Fallout fans or gaming history nerds like myself, but the journey is still worth it. Good luck, rangers!

Major graphical overhauls and a massive change to the text create the best way to experience this classic post-apocalyptic title, although it's still mired in old-school mechanics.

An historical and important game, a must for players interested in RPG history, now presented in a more palatable form but still hard and old school.

A perfect way to experience the first wasteland for newcomers to this fantastic series.

Terrible GUI design and didnt work a some of its elements like team-creator. But beautiful visual style. May be another Ten Year Patchroad makes this game playable.

Lazily modernized graphics, completely outdated gameplay: This remake of a classic is only for the most nostalgic of veterans.

With all appreciation and due respect for the classic, this remastered version of Wasteland feels and looks more like a mobile game.
