It's sequels essentially kick it's ass three times over in every way, but there's something kinda loveable about this first go; the XCOM-lite gameplay is satisfying in a dumb guy 'I'm so fucking smart because I put my guy in cover and had him aim better instead of rushing in'-way, but what really had me smiling and nodding in delight was the story. Nothing much goes on in it, at all, but the player character and their voice in this manages to be oddly endearing, and it leads to one of my personal favorite player-driven bullshit choices in any game.
