Give it another chance
I loved The Bureau back when it originally came out in 2013, but I wasn't entirely sure what my experience with the game would be in 2018. Now after having replayed and sinking 40+ hours across Steam and GOG I can safely say this is one of my all-time favorite games. Commanding your squad and dominating the area by throwing down turrets, helper drones, and mind controlling enemies is a pure joy. Engagements are often tense and exhilarating on max difficulty where you will more often than not be constantly on the move and reshuffling the positions of your squad so they aren't obliterated by one of the many hulking opponents in the game. The lack of a complete pause when giving out orders, instead applying a slow-down effect where you can still be damaged, causing you to think fast, only increases the tension of combat. On top of that what really hooked me was the story and world design. Everything is played completely straight, you're never taken out of it with horrible comic relief characters. The vivid depiction of 1960s America ravaged by an alien invasion is taken seriously, which allows for a lot of quality character interactions and story developments. It's really quite immersive. If you account for The Bureau going through and surviving multiple reboots during development, which unfortunately turned it into more of a lower budget title, and the fact that the regular XCOM series is still kicking, then you might very well find something special here with this one.
