Master piece from old times

This is one of the best x-com game. I wish they make remake or new one with same gameplay mechanic.

Aggravating Mechanics

There is a lot of jank in this game. The core is beautiful, but the amount of BS that happens while trying to enjoy it really sours the experience. Slightly departs from it predecesors, and, in my case, showed me where my allegiances lie. I will continue to experiment with it, but I can no longer approach it in a serious, tactical mindset.

Trial and Error Apocalypse

A most painful experience. Not sure I will ever finish the game. If you're serious about playing it then read or watch as much as you beforehand. Otherwise you'll probably have to restart it half a dozen times in order to succeed. Imo this game was never really finished. It gives almost zero explanation on what to do when and how. Have fun! PS: I'm a big fan of the original UFO and I love turn-based strategy (btw the RTS option here turns the game into a total mess) so it's certainly not the concept or genre.
