This review will concentrate on the console versions of the game, and both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version were looked at, though this review is mostly going to be set around the PlayStation 4 version. It would have been nice to give previous PC purchasers some type of a discount if nothing else for the console versions too, but that would have been a logistical nightmare, so inXile can be forgiven for not offering it. If that applies to you, stop reading this now and go get your free download started. However, if you previously bought the game for the PC, then you can get the Director’s Cut for free on the PC. In terms of price, the new version of the game is priced at $40 for the console versions, and if you are buying it for the first time on the PC, it’s going to be about the same price barring any Steam sales or whatnot. Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut doesn’t change the story from the 2014 version, though given that there are several faction choices and do or die type decisions along the way (where supporting one NPC or group ends up having negative consequences – normally death – to another) the emergence of the Director’s Cut might be a good excuse to go back and play through the game one more time to see how the world might have turned out differently. The robots look a lot more scary with the new graphical enhancements of the director’s cut. This time we traveled there using the PlayStation 4. We strapped on our six shooter and headed out to dusty, post-apocalyptic Arizona once again. So we were even happier when Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut was recently released, trying to improve on the previous version, and coming out for both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One alongside of the improved PC version. It was good, but the graphics and sound were a touch lacking, especially if you don’t like to do a lot of reading in your RPG.

It was even nominated for the GiN role-playing game of the year by readers. We were pretty happy when Bryan Fargo and his team over at inXile Entertainment brought us a remake of the classic Wasteland with Wasteland 2 last year.
