I've finished Wasteland 3 twice.

It's good, with some actual good humour and decent satire, and while the plot is pretty rote it has some interesting digressions and interesting world building.

The combat is tactical and not too clunky, but it's definitely less snappy and satisfying than XCOM. There's less of it though obviously with it being an RPG and stealth and speech checks often being an option. You do pretty much have to have at least one stealth attack character and always ambush enemy groups though, especially on higher difficulties, which when you get decent means most battles tend to play out the same (surprise attack on biggest threat -> thin the herd -> overwatch to protect any squad mates in 1 turn danger -> finish stragglers on next turn). There's some fun wackier weapons that have odd buffs and debuffs though for if it's a bit easy/familiar like shrink grenades, confetti and more.

There's a couple of other issues too. The stat aspect of the character progression is unbalanced to the point of being nearly useless, and since positioning and action points are so important you'll dump nearly all your stats into maxing coordination first and then speed, regardless of a character's class or build. There's a few frustrating modern Fallout-esque choices too, where the text or short description of what you'll say / who's side you'll take doesn't really match up with what you'd think and undermines your intention, but it's not too common. It's also very all sides bad although at least it has both more fun and actual grey area with that than most games of its ilk. Finally it's still pretty janky and a bit unpolished in places. Fixes have done a lot for the terrible crashing and load times it had at launch, but I still wouldn't recommend an Ironman playthrough unless you don't mind repeating a fair bit of progress.

Overall though I thoroughly enjoyed it, found it engaging all the way through, genuinely funny quite frequently (which is a rarity for me), and went back for a second helping after the first. Also, it's robots are the best.
