It was NEVER as good as the first one
XCOM Terror from the Deep was indeed a BAD re-skin of the first one. The setup bellow the water was interesting, the new things to tactics worked out well, but in general has some big flaws. - Graphics were horrible, in artistic terms, compared to the first XCOM. Characters, weapons designs, spaceships, everything lost their manga feeling pixel art and became a strange mess. - Difficulty is absolutely unbalanced, trying to make a harder XCOM than the previous, just to appear a more "modern advanced game". - Many "underwater" gadgets feel like the idea of sub-aquatic XCOM was just "patched up" in the last minute over the original XCOM. I give it 3 stars because there are not many games like this anymore, it still drinks of what it was good in the first one, and because nostalgia. But in it´s own time I were given it 2 Stars.
