![]() The camera just refuses to be controlled properly. Also, I was constantly trying to zoom out to see where the enemies are - in vain. Instead of Q/E, camera should be freely rotatable, say, with middle mouse button, since it's a 3D game. Rotating the camera was a constant pain for me. ![]() I'd want to flip Q/E, T/G and mouse wheel but that's not possible. The original XComs had this tension where you could never know where the next alien will come from - that's lost here the game shows approx locations of enemies which makes the game a bit too easy. The real solution to this was offered by JA2 with its mix of real-time and turn-based modes + interrupts (based on wisdom stat and soldier's line of sight). Btw in the original 1990s XComs there was the same issue: there you could just skip 35 turns, the aliens will rush forward to find you, and you put a line of crouched soldiers with laser rifles - the game turns into a shooting practice. The game tries to discourage this by putting resource barrels which the enemy will destroy if you don't rush forward - but I guess a bit of lost loot is still far better than a dead soldier. You can put a few snipers on constant overwatch in the corner of the map and that's it. like in all newer XCom games, overwatch is still king. the aiming system is a good idea (borrowed from Fallout New Vegas), it works better than I'd expect the tutorial does a good job showing you all the numerous game systems music is great and deserves a download for listening when not playing the game Factions with their ideologies are believable the story is nicely written, it's higher-quality sci-fi with at least no obvious logical inconsistencies. ![]() ![]() extensive character customization and classes taken from the later XComs are good the 4AP system is closer to the original 1990s XCom and is a major improvement compared to the 2AP system which sadly became so common in the more recent squad-based tactical games However, it's mired with poor camera controls, glitches and lags A game in the XCom style which tries to improve on the 2010s versions by adding back features from the 1990s versions. ![]()
