Truly the best way for avid Xcom fans and tactical turn based fans to experience xcom2. Being able to truly challenge the player with all kinds of overworld decisions that create stress and tension all the way down to every combat action deciding life or death for your team. This is just shy of the perfection of enemy within but non the less one of the best games of all time.

Argh! I was really enjoying the tactical part of this game! But then I messed up and lost quite a few critical team members. 😠I had this same problem with Dungeon Encounters, so I guess it was just a bad week for gaming. I want to play this again. I'm not sure if I'll continue on or start over. While I really enjoy the tactical side of things, I don't like the overworld decision making and strategizing. It seems like everything is so far away and is dangerous, so it's like spending effort to make your life easier. Meh, just put me on a map with my alien foes please. This is an excellent game. I'm just trash at it.
I might go back to finish this but the game becomes a real slog and I feel like they haven't made any significant improvements to the fact that the game just feels "unfair". I know it's not and it's just my confirmation bias coming into play, but it doesn't feel good to play. Maybe that's the point, but it saps a ton of my enjoyment and consistently kills any desire I have to proceed. That is the biggest reason I stopped playing and might go back, but not anytime soon.
