![]() Also, I was constantly trying to zoom out to see where the enemies are - in vain. Instead of Q/E, camera should be freely rotatable, say, with middle mouse button, since it's a 3D game. Rotating the camera was a constant pain for me. I'd want to flip Q/E, T/G and mouse wheel but that's not possible. ![]() The original XComs had this tension where you could never know where the next alien will come from - that's lost here the game shows approx locations of enemies which makes the game a bit too easy. The real solution to this was offered by JA2 with its mix of real-time and turn-based modes + interrupts (based on wisdom stat and soldier's line of sight). Btw in the original 1990s XComs there was the same issue: there you could just skip 35 turns, the aliens will rush forward to find you, and you put a line of crouched soldiers with laser rifles - the game turns into a shooting practice. The game tries to discourage this by putting resource barrels which the enemy will destroy if you don't rush forward - but I guess a bit of lost loot is still far better than a dead soldier. You can put a few snipers on constant overwatch in the corner of the map and that's it. like in all newer XCom games, overwatch is still king. the aiming system is a good idea (borrowed from Fallout New Vegas), it works better than I'd expect the tutorial does a good job showing you all the numerous game systems music is great and deserves a download for listening when not playing the game Factions with their ideologies are believable ![]() the story is nicely written, it's higher-quality sci-fi with at least no obvious logical inconsistencies. extensive character customization and classes taken from the later XComs are good the 4AP system is closer to the original 1990s XCom and is a major improvement compared to the 2AP system which sadly became so common in the more recent squad-based tactical games However, it's mired with poor camera controls, glitches and lags A game in the XCom style which tries to improve on the 2010s versions by adding back features from the 1990s versions. ![]()
