Really, truly fantastic on the strategy side of things, playing on Hard/Classic had me hyper focused and genuinely invested in every single main chapter. The map design is really well considered and varied, easily some of the best maps I've seen out of my admittedly limited experience with the wider series.

But man this story is utter pablum lol. IntSys, idk what's happening over there but you used to be the best of the best, not sure how it ended up that one of your major franchises now feels completely directionless from a mechanical perspective and the other directionless from a tonal one.
