Why players love itThings to know
50% of themes are praise25% are divided25% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The theme of WASTED feels cohesive and coherent and the AI is competent but not terribly bright (which is explained away in the lore.) The game-mechanics of WASTED are unique, varied, and interesting, but are perhaps not fully thought-out or realized in some areas.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The buzz system helps to keep the gameplay feeling fresh even after the gunplay has worn out, as these are basically buffs you can grab mid run to either help you or hurt you.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has nice music, gorgeous Borderlands type of graphics and quite nice story and voice actors are actually really good among other things.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A funny post-apocalyptic roguelike FPS, full of light-hearted/humorous characters, cartoonish visuals, a good variety of weapons, and a unique drinking mechanic where consuming drinks you find in the wasteland, gives you different effects (some positive and some negative).
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall this is a really enjoyable fps that was obviously made with a lot of love
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is quite nice, and I still find the tunes catchy after 90+ hour of play.
