Great reboot of the series. I strongly recommend playing in Ironman mode (no scum saving) to get the right feeling from the game. It also has a great mod called Long War that adds a ton to the game and changes it a lot. Typically to Firaxis, the game is a bit "gamey" (unnatural mechanics thrown in for the sake of complexity or because they couldn't do it better). For example you have 2 actions in place of the old Action Points system, only one base, and a pretty limited squad (both in number and items). I guess it's pretty hard to make a game balanced and not (too) gamey. Pros: big improvement(s) over the old ones. Cons: gamey , only one base, pretty limited squad Rating: one sticky alien that likes getting prodded. *Editors' Pick* https://pixelloot.com
