XCOM®: Chimera Squad
Description
XCOM: Chimera Squad delivers an all-new story and turn-based tactical combat experience in the XCOM universe.
After years of alien rule, humanity won the war for Earth. But when the Overlords fled the planet, they left their former soldiers behind. Now, five years after the events of XCOM 2, humans and aliens are working together to forge a civilization of cooperation and coexistence.
Welcome to City 31, a model of peace in a post-invasion world. However, not all of Earth's inhabitants support interspecies alliance. Chimera Squad, an elite force of human and alien agents, must work together to destroy the underground threats driving the city toward chaos.
Your agents are unique: each of them equipped with special tactical abilities and driven by a different motivation for joining Chimera Squad. Deploy targeted team members to investigate and combat the dangers that pervade the districts of City 31. Lead Chimera Squad through a new experience that innovates on XCOM's turn-based legacy, utilizing strategy, teamwork, and new breach-and-clear gameplay to complete your mission objectives.
The future of City 31 depends on you.
Each of the 11 agents have their own distinct personality and tactical abilities, including species-specific attacks like the Viper’s tongue pull.
Execute devastating combos by teaming the right agents and utilizing cooperative actions. The difference between mission success and failure can depend wholly on team composition.
Missions are structured as a series of discrete, explosive encounters, keeping the action intense and unpredictable.
Shape the battlefield to your advantage with a new combat phase that injects your squad right into action. Strategically assign your agents to different entry points and coordinate their assault with a range of Breach-specific skills.
An automatic initiative system slots individual agents and enemies into an alternating turn order, creating new strategic possibilities based on what unit is queued to act next—and what unit is at the greatest risk when they do.
Outside of combat, manage the operations of a high-tech HQ, where you must prioritize competing tasks, investigations, and agent assignments in the face of a ticking clock: the constantly rising unrest in the city’s various districts, driving City 31 closer and closer to total anarchy.

8/10
Chimera Squad's action remains incredibly rich, but the slightly repetitive combat mars the overall thrill

72/100
A fine superhero SWAT team tactics game smothered by a little too much admin.

4/5 stars
Firaxis lets its hair down for a fun, ragtag twist on XCOM's proven recipe of tactics and tension.

Addictive and well put-together.
I read about Chimera Squad previously when I considered buying it on Steam. Many reviews were negative and flat out called the game a garbage spin-off. As soon as it arrived on GOG, I decided to form my own opinion. The game is great, the story is nicely written and it's very addictive in general. Reminder: Form your own opinions. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/notmiketyson

Absolutely awful.
In short, it's just bad. There's none of the things likeable about X-com in there, mostly just insultingly bad dialogue and thinly veiled woke nonsense. Maps are dull and lifeless, and you start out every match by breaching an area, followed by boring gameplay to clear the room, then it's repeated over and over. The characters are just deplorable, none of them have any likeable qualities at all, and the art style just does not feel at home in the setting what so ever. Dont get it if you're a fan of the series or above the age of 12.
