Not XCOM, but it's not the game's fault
This game has nothing to do with XCOM, and that's where the majority of dislike for it comes from. If you're a die-hard fan of XCOM and aren't interested in anything bearing the name if it's not a devilishly hard strategy/tactics game, that's all you need to know. If you don't particularly care about the real XCOM games or are simply willing to look past the irrelevant title, this is actually a surprisingly fun little third person shooter. You play a cyborg with a jetpack and unlimited ammunition shooting your way through hordes of aliens. You collect credits as you go, and at the end of each level buy various upgrades. Some are things like more health or speed, but the important ones are unlocking and upgrading new weapons. Once unlocked, weapons constantly spawn as powerups throughout subsequent levels, with limited ammunition but frequent enough spawns that you'll quickly find yourself picking up weapons much faster than you can use them up. The biggest flaw is that it takes too long to get going. The first several levels don't have many enemies or much variety in their type, and you're stuck fighting them with just a couple of rather lame guns. Once you get further in, you'll be running through hordes of aliens with your finger jammed continuously on the fire button flinging grenades, plasma balls and nukes at giant robot dinosaurs. Voice acting is limited to your incredibly camp creator shouting at you to kill aliens over the radio, and he would sound more at home in the Rocky Horror Show than an XCOM game. Story and strategy are essentially nonexistent, it's mindless twitch-based flashy fun, not a thinking game. If anything, it's more bullet-hell than standard shooter. If you want a tactical, cover-based shooter, this is not it. If you want an old-school, resource hording shooter, this is not it either. If you enjoy running around in circles blowing the crap out of everything with a variety of over-the-top flashy weapons, you may well enjoy this game.
