I was quite excited for this one, but it turned out a little bit too similar to the original. It offers little in terms of narrative, base management is just like it used to be, and the overhauled tactical game-play, while fun, gets old through repetitive missions eventually.
The original was a fantastic game way ahead of its time, so I still had fun with this one, but I expected more innovation from a game carrying XCOM’s name.
