Time for a lovely roam around the freezing cold wastes of Colorado

InXile Entertainment’s latest adventure in the post-apocalyptic lands of the USA,Wasteland 3, came out today, bringing with it a big bizarre statue of a robo-Ronald Reagan. The RPG will have you fill the boots of a lone Ranger, tasked with reestablishing society in the wastes of Colorado. It’s a bit like old schoolFallout, what with being a story-driven RPG full of turn-based tactical shoot-outs. It’s worth noting that the original Wasteland inspired the original Fallout games, which have in-turn inspired the new Wasteland games. Ah, the circle of life.

Reviews for Wasteland 3 seem pretty mixed. It sounds like the sort of game long-time fans of the series might enjoy, but those looking to try Wasteland for the first time could find it, well, not so great.

“It should be commended for its sheer heft, its days-long bulkiness no doubt welcome in the face of our own ongoing apocalypse,” Brendy writes in hisWasteland 3 review. “But that doesn’t make its writing any less puerile, nor its combat any less uninspired.”

Reagan’s everywhere these days,popping up in Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wartoo.
