Wasteland 3

Wasteland 3 is releasing on Fri!

Very much a spiritual successor to original Fallout, the iso-view tiled movement post-apocalyptic game with action points. Wasteland 2 was a cult hit, made largely through crowdfunding, and was quite good though short. Wasteland 3 looks great so far, all of the humor and ethics that the series has always been good at.

I've heard mixed things on this but if it's more of the same with some things cleaned up here and there I think it will be good (assuming the story is solid). It sounds like the main complaint was "it seems like it was dumbed down for console"

I enjoyed Wasteland 2.  I read the review referenced in the OP.  I didn't like hearing that load times for game transitions can run almost 2 minutes each.  That would get very old very fast.  I might wait until the PS5 comes out and see if the load times are minimized on that platform.

I am playing on a PC.  The load times are terrible.  I have an SSD for Windows and an SSD for my games.  My machine will cold boot to the login screen in 9-10 secs.  Loading a save or transitioning an area takes ~30 seconds in the game.  That said, the game is awesome.  Any fans of Fallout 1/2 or Wasteland 2, this game is worth your time and money.
