Decisions you make all have the potential to bring with them dire consequences and the voice-over actors will leave you in no doubt that this is true. Controlling a party of up to 7 characters (4 of which you can have the fun of designing yourself), you’re tasked with the mission of solving a mystery which threatens the meagre existence of the surviving populace. So, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic Arizona and it’s a turn-based tactical RPG. Regardless, it’s been so long since the original was released, we might as well go over what the game’s all about even if you did play the first one 27 years ago. Essentially, glitches have been more or less fixed and there are general improvements all round in the Director’s Cut including improved voice-overs and graphical upgrades. So, where are we up to with this version? Firstly, the astute amongst you will notice that this review focuses on the Director’s Cut of the sequel – which has transferred the action to Xbox One and PS4. What a long time it has taken to come up with the sequel – just think how we’ve all changed since the late 1980s, and the very fact that developers inXile have funded the sequel via Kickstarter says it all about the world we’re now in. Still, although it was the year Rick Astley unleased Never Gonna Give You Up, it was also the year in which we were gifted Rainman, Die Hard, and, on the gaming front, the original Wasteland. Yes, 1988 was in many ways a different world altogether.
Picture a time way back when: Stock, Aitken and Waterman were bigger than Simon Cowell is today – I know, imagine! Perms were cool whether you were male or female and the biggest concerns regarding privacy still involved neighbours and heights of hedges.
