I've been going back and playing all my "old school" games from better times. It's amazing how "average" games and movies from the Olden Times are literally masterpieces compared to the absolute slop we get served up now. This is a fun little lore ad on for the Xcom games, nothing earth shattering, but a solid story and light tactical shooter where you can order your squad mates. Def worth the 3 bucks or so it regularly goes on sale for.

most reviews seem to be coming at this from being old x-com players which makes sense its part of the franchise but its not xcom... its a nice little mash up of the 360/ps3 days cover shooters like gears of war mixed with the squad commands of mass effect story is ok and gameplays good by no means a goty contender for the year it released but its a good game that wears its influences for all to see and a good one to pass a weekend by

Actually a solid, if flawed, game. More or less a Mass Effect clone. Combat is effectively the same as that game, except that you can pause time to give orders, More so than in Mass Effect, your teammates can actually kill things when given the right equipment and perks. At the start they feel useless but by the end of the game they were accounting for more than half the total kills for me. Technical issues: -PhysX breaks the game, like literally there is a point early on where the game will always crash until you turn it off. -When selecting combat abilities and moving about the map to decide where to place them, the movement marker gets stuck against barriers or vertical drops. Most of the time this is not a problem but it does get in the way sometimes. Other issues: - The storytelling towards the end gets really janky. I'm not going to spoil it, but the ending gave me whiplash because your roleplaying choices and how it actually plays out may not align at all. - Weapon balance is not great. A lot of weapons are simply not recommendable either because they are too weak or so limited in ammunition that they become a liability. So by the end of the game you are realistically using a very narrow weaponset.

Not the greatest game I played, but also not bad - and definetly worth a playthrough for any XCOM fan. Bought the game for like 2€ on sale and played through it in like 3 days. As someone who sometimes finish to struggle games, this one got me hooked enough to barely play anything else until it's done. If you look at the different peaces this game is made of, none of them is really great. The voice acting is kinda meh, the 3rd person shooter aspects are okay, the story isn't necessarily a novelty in the series. But as a whole, it does manage to be enough fan service for me to really enjoy the game. The biggest highlight was the mechanic to order around customizable squadmates - this did make it feel like you're one of the guys on the ground you usually control form bird's eye view in the other XCOM games without losing too much tactics.

It’s hard to recommend. 3 out of 5. Only if you’re a fan of the Xcom franchise and want to check out all the games in the series. Going in with an open mind it’s not a terrible game but controls, ai and some questionable story moments bring it down a lot. The atmosphere and setting are great but basic gameplay and weak characters such as the lead counter that. If you’re a big Xcom fan maybe give it a go but lower your expectations
