As much as I liked XCOM: Enemy Unknown and disliked XCOM 2, I've grown to really resent both games for popularizing the dumbest and most boring take on combat systems in turn-based strategy games. In Planetfall it's even worse. The painful slog of positioning, the annoying RNG, the cheap AI. This style of combat really has no purpose other than to be frustrating and soul-crushing. It's not HARD, I'm winning easily as I did in both XCOMs, it's just stupid and devoid of strategy. Stop copying XCOM combat, it's cheap, frustrating, boring and provides no strategy whatsoever. The Civilization part of the game is pretty shallow, the story is terrible. I was looking for some kind of hook in this game, but there just isn't one.
