The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Why players love itThings to know
55% of themes are praise300 helpful reviews45% are complaints
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mains story, while not mind-blowingly amazing, is good enough to keep you ineterested, though it is suprisingly linear.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat Initiative helps you get to attack first, and before you get to L.A. you will want a minimum of 12 so you don't take too many first-hits.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When I say that the role-playing is W2's greatest feature, some might translate it as the story or mechanics are very shallow.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But the graphics transport the atmosphere in a way modern engines lack.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character customization is excellent, whether through weapons, skills or party composition, and the game consistently rewards exploration and thoughful decision-making.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Wasteland 2 has good graphical and sound design, which is key for immersion in this post-apocalyptic RPG world.
