Not XCOM, but still worthwhile
You will recognize lots of things: the "defending the earth from alien invasion" scenario, the geoscape, base building, tactical battles, dissecting aliens to research new technologies and more. Yet there are enough new and fresh things to catch your interest: targetable body parts, biotech, human factions and diplomacy are the ones that come to mind, but there are more. In summary, the game is similar to XCOM, but is its own game. Many of the things that have been added improve the game, and if they had been well executed this would have been the better game. Sadly, the execution is where the game fails. Not completely, but enough to make it less enjoyable. At the point of writing, most bugs seem to have been fixed; at least the game doesn't crash for me. I had to validate the game files on a few occasions, however. So the game is playable - and it is definitely well worth playing at least once or twice. As you play, however, you will start noticing that the parts just don't fit together all that well, which sadly detracts from replayability. There are choices, but they don't seem to have enough consequences to matter. Some things are weird and don't work well. Other things are different and seem interesting at first, but turn out to be pretty meaningless. I'm definitely enjoying the game, and I think I am getting my money's worth - but I don't think I will be playing Phoenix Point over and over again.
