I'm not sure why the X-COM nerds feel the need to downgrade this game. This is not better or worse than X-Com. This is simply a different game. Personally I love X-Com you can check my library. I have X-Com and the DLCs. This game if you don't compare it to X-Com is a very good game. I love the Jack addition and it's updates. Don't be that guy/gal that rates a game based on X-Com. Enjoy similar games that are simply different. FFS.

Ignore the Mostly Positive, this game rocks. The most aggressive tactics game I have ever played. If you like Gears, even if you hate turn based, this is pretty great. It is occasionally a tiny tiny bit buggy but never game breakingly so. This deserves a lot more love. Seriously, I have never played a more accessible tactics game, and one which has this much "it is so over" and "we are so back": in the same turn.

Amongst the tactics game I have played, this one is at the top of the list when it comes to the production value. Sounds, voices, atmosphere, graphics are all slick. You have some simple customization for your weapons and armor and this system will carry you on to the finish line as your search for these parts in every mission. However it is sad for me to say this quality does not apply to the story as we are exposed to a mediocre one throughout the missions so all that remains for us to play the tactics side of game. Unfortunately, Tactics part of the game didn’t captivate me as much as other tactics games I’ve played recently. I found myself alternating between brief play sessions and breaks, unable to fully immerse myself. Still this is one of the playable tactics game, released in the recent years and there are enough pieces here for me to recommend it.

It's like Xcom but somehow lacking something. The maps are very repetitive, you feel like you go to the same gate, open and kill all. Story was OK, good graphics, good cinematics. Progress of your chars is lackluster, many times feels better to just recruit a new guy with +1level than do missions with your old roster. It's still fun to play if you like Xcom type of games. It's a 7/10 but makes no sense to play it after you finish the SP story line (around 27hours).

It's like XCOM except it's good because my stupid shooter-rotted doodoo peanut brain can understand it.
