Immersive and fun
I first was exposed to this game when I got it for PS3 on sale. I played XCom games since the mid 90s and loved the 60s era idea. I loved it on PS3 and later purchased it from Steam. This is now my third copy of this game. This is a 3rd person, squad-based, tactical shooter. It is an alternate timeline to XCom Enemy Unknown and Within. You play an agent of The Bureau, which was created with XCom to deal with an alien invasion. You are an FBI agent recruited by XCom as the alien invasion begins. You get to upgrade your character and your squad as you go, just the way you do in Enemy Unknown. The underground base is slowly developed throughout the game and you can visit each of the different areas of the base. You collect different weapons and equipment to use yourself or distribute to your squad mates. In the base is a map, which shows various missions available outside the main quest. You can either choose to take the missions, or send some of your squad to deal with it. If you choose to send your squad, they could be injured or killed, they will be unavailable for a set time until the mission is completed, and you will gain a reward for them completing it. You can then go on missions with other squad members while the other squad is taking care of the other mission. It really adds a layer of strategy and makes it more interesting than your typical shooter. The missions themselves are pretty linear, having you follow a certain path to your objectives. You control your character in 3rd person like a typical shooter with the ability to switch weapons, aim, and take cover the way you would expect from a shooter. You typically have two or three (I haven't played it in a while) other squad members with you, which you have to strategically choose based on their skills. You may have room for, or need a medic if you know you're facing a lot of resistence. Engineers can hack aliend technology or may be needed to difuse a bomb. You then have a soldier and sniper class. You face the various aliens that you find in Enemy Unknown and Within, but there are additional aliens and vehicles you face in this game. There is typically some sort of boss at the end of each stage, which they have different ways to kill. The story is the typical XCom alien invasion story, but they go into more detail about each different type of alien and their plan for humanity. The story itself is interesting and fun, and will keep you playing on to find out what happens next. I don't know why this game had some average to low reviews, but I loved each version of it I played and it is a game I go back to and play over pretty often. I highly recommend this game, especially at the price it is being offered on GoG. If you are a fan of sci fi, shooters, tactical shooters, or strategy, this game will not disappoint you!
