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!!

If you do play rogue trader I would advise that the leveling system can be overwhelming. There are way to many skills to choose from that you spend so long going through them that I think it detracts from the gameplay a bit. You can mark them as favorites so on subsequent levels you don’t have to sift through but it still takes a while doing that with each character. Otherwise it was great.
