    Review: Wasteland Remastered

    After watching the fantastic first season of the Fallout television series, I decided to get back into the franchise by digging deep into its roots. And by that, I mean playing Wasteland Remastered. The connection between Wasteland and Fallout is well-documented. If you're unfamiliar, Brian Fargo-the founder of Interplay and developer of the CRPG series The Bard's Tale-directed the original 1988 Wasteland. This classic PC title has a similar gameplay style to The Bard's Tale but was now set in the Southwest US approximately 100 years after global nuclear fallout. This same setting, of course, would be used a decade later for the first Fallout, also published by Interplay, with Brian Fargo serving as executive producer.

    [...]

    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 It feels old, outdated, outmoded.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!
