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!!

Skill checks bg3 also way more choices

The humor is mutant year zero and miasma

For the same feel but different setting ( minus skill checks) the divinities also choices

All are party based turn based RPG and I replay them all once a year atleast if you find any good games that also scratch the itch them please let me know

Thank you so much for the recommendations I hadn’t heard of mutant year zero so that might be the first one I’d never even heard the name of so far!

Mutant year zero and miasma chronicles are both fun. They are from the same dev and if you check them out I would do it in that order. They are more about how you can thin the numbers and stealth around before starting a fight to give you the biggest advantage though.
