It's not bad but it's not great either...

The campaigns don't have much closure and the Scrin one seemed very unnecessary.
There are some bullshit mechanics in play but you also get used to them in time... Also lots of micromanagement compared to previous titles.

The game was kicking me in the ass constantly and then I found out some official patch changed the economy for the main campaign unintentionally (it was supposed to be a multiplayer-only change). After installing a mod to fix this issue the game was more enjoyable.

The biggest flaw for me is the lack of a good soundtrack... Most of the time the game is silent and when you're in combat a minimalistic song plays here and there but this is nothing compared to the rich and immersive soundtrack the previous titles always had.

Frank Klepacki you are so missed...
