Anyone else loving Jagged Alliance 3? (lemmy.world)

I was pleasantly surprised by the new Jagged Alliance 3 release last week. It really flew under the radar, but I'm glad I snagged it because it's been really great so far.

I did run out of cash on the first island, so I treated that as a trial run. Every situation feels fresh, and the RPG elements seem more fleshed out than the new XCOM games.

I'm really liking how open-ended it seems; it reminds me a little bit of the original 2 Fallout games. I'm hoping for a PVP dlc or mod in the future, because (perhaps an unpopular opinion) Deadly Games was my favorite entry in the series; I played against my brothers all the time when I was a kid.

I ran out of money by spending too long doing everything on the island before securing a mine on the mainland. I was only $500 or so in the hole, but you can't charter a boat without cash.

On my second start, I ran to the closest mine possible to make sure I wouldn't get stranded again.
