Loved XCOM 1, this is disappointing
XCOM 2's main problem is it was playtested by the same people that designed the missions -i.e. if you know the enemy's position and the map layout you can just barely outmaneuver them in time (they love timed missions) and get a good result. If you didn't design the map, you have to choose between rushing in the low number of turns you get before mission failure and fail by being overwhelmed by the enemy OR bide your time to avoid getting ambushed/outnumbered and then fail because time ran out. The way to success is to fail the mission several times until you memorize which route to use to reach the objective in time without unnecesary risks. If you play the tutorial mission you get Steely Tears as a second mission -the mission people can't beat. You just can't win this in your first try -and remember, this is your first real mission. After several tries and a change in starting position I managed to beat it, but didn't really have fun -I was acutely aware it was just me memorizing the map and timing. I never lost for having a bad strategy -I lost because I didn't knew the map and the timing to traverse it. Having a SINGLE WINNING PATH with almost no margin for deviation is NOT CHALLENGING, is BAD DESIGN. After beating Steely Tears I got another timed mission where the only way to get to the objective in time is to memorize the position of some nodes you can shoot to get an extra turn each. Doable? Yes, after several tries and if the RNG is on your side and you manage to kill the customary mind controlling sectoid quickly (Steely Tears had that too). I always played in "Veteran" difficulty, the second easiest, meant for people familiar with XCOM like me. There's a mod for XCOM 1 (maybe it's Long War) that makes the game really harder (and different). I tried it and uninstalled it because it always beat me to a pulp -but I still had a LOT of fun with it. In XCOM 2 winning feels worthless because it just means you can memorize a map layout. Don't buy.
