Pros:
+ A very well-made and consistently held ambience in appearance and sound.
+ An authentic survival feeling. I play the second of 4 levels of difficulty and need my financial and ammunition to work hard. The opponents are not easy.
+ Tactics and proper equipment for every situation requires. Just because it has the best Sniper does not mean that you defeat all running around in the wasteland can. Mechs need as energy weapons or explosives to get them small.
+ A wealth of additional skills that are difficult to master even with 7 characters in the group and found on every corner application.
+ Several solutions for almost all problems. You can umnieten someone does not fit you in the stuff or consuming with conversation skills looking for an alternative solution that brings you possibly better odds.
+ No teleporter / aircraft or other fast travel functions. It's the end of the world and you have to travel on foot. So make sure your water and proper radiation protection have. Who miscalculated paid with their lives
+ No conquest tokens. This handy little features help in so many RPG quests not to mess up (which is quite possible here) and make this boring time. All that is given you here is a callable map with compass :-)
+ Everywhere Eastereggs and allusions. * Spoiler * smaller it is the family that consumed at the table Soylent Green or the caches with the buried ET the Extra Terrestrial parts. * Small spoiler end *
Cons:
- A big minus for the translation from English into German. At the beginning I did not think anything of me there when some keywords have been shown to be variable. That would be to cope well. But I had to realize that often characterized answer options that are important for quests remain hidden. Switching to English brings Remedy here what I would recommend to everyone from the beginning.
- From time to time the cumbersome control annoying at some things. For example, flying objects from the inventory often from the hotkey bar. The manual states that this must only pull out, but leads to the discarding of the object. (Or am I doing something wrong?). So you have to choose the hotkey bar in the properties and.
(-) The skirmishes offer especially in the beginning by their hardness enough action for the player. Later it will be a little quieter because you still on niedriglvl. Opponent hits. What would I have found here very well be an action camera in the fighting such as in XCOM Enemy Within (same turn-based combat system, but has more tied). Here, however, the graphics should have been improved for close-ups. However, this is not really a criticism but rather a personal improvement Note ^^
Conclusion:
Wasteland 2 is certainly no game for RPG newcomers. Already on the second level of difficulty increases the Game the player ran tough and forgiving almost never. For advanced users but it will be a true Gold Fund. Harmonious ambience with a very challenging gameplay and well-made game mechanics. The player is not taken by the hand here but must take care of themselves all the way to Ranger-type. Actually 5 stars on my part when the poor translation would not affect the gameplay is negative, unfortunately only 4 Hope is still nachgepatcht.
Seriously: PLAYING THE GAME IN ENGLISH, to which was eliminated :-)
Comments on the Ranger-Edition:
Because she was relatively inexpensive, I ordered the Ranger Edition. The Game is here in an elaborate paper-case with several artwork postcards a Wasteland map and the instructions and the soundtrack of the game. Recommended since even a Steam code for Wasteland1 + OST is settled.
