After a multi-decade gestation process, Wasteland 2 (PC) is the Kickstarter-funded sequel to a legendary 1988 role-playing game. Like the original, it’s set after a nuclear war and has you commanding a band of paramilitaries in tactical turn-based combat, set against the familiar scorched desert we know and love. Other games out this week include Meridian: New World (PC), a real-time strategy game so fully featured it’s almost impossible to believe it was built by just one man; Train Simulator 2015 (PC) provides you with near-future trains to drive on routes you’ll no doubt be relieved to discover include the classic London to Peterborough east coast mainline; and Slender: The Arrival (PS3, Xbox 360) lets console owners experience the terrifying but also frustratingly repetitious cult survival horror.
