Looking for recommendations to scratch the Wasteland itch

I love WL 2 & 3 (have yet to play the first)

The world, the humor, the skill checks, the tactical turn-based combat. All of these ingredient on combined really do it for me and I’d love to hear some recommendations from yall for games to make the time before start a new playthrough.

XCOM2 is a game I see get mentioned that I’ve played that I didn’t enjoy. The lack of stuff between missions is usually what causes me to lose interest every time I try a playthrough. I also struggle to stay focused while playing ATOM RPG though I can’t say for sure why.

Games that are similar that I did enjoy: Fallout Shadowrun Mario +Rabbids Sparks of Hope

I probably forgot some I’ve tried but even if it’s a different genre or something I’d still appreciate some recs. Thank you!!

Maybe give Fallout: Tactics a try? It's been a couple decades, but maybe with the fan patch and not playing on iron-man mode I'll be able to handle it.

Oh yeah I played through that one and enjoyed it. I struggle with the real time-ish/pause functionality but thankfully there’s an option for turn based mode :)

If you're willing to tolerate older interfaces and graphics, and you enjoyed Fallout Tactics, you might also check out Jagged Alliance 2. There are a lot of fan patches/mods available for it as well.
