The polls were closed, the votes are in, and XCOM: Enemy Unknown was the communities choice for the next Tactical Thursday game!.
I've always had my eye on this one, and have observed it played in the past - so I was quite keen to give it a spin.
There's loads to love:
- The base-development gave me slight Oxygen Not Included, and Dungeon Keeper vibes.
- The missions themselves are intense and full of great details; like a sci-fi mix between Divinity: OS 2 and Darkest Dungeon + a bunch of unique stuff.
- The customisation of your troops is great.
- The overall level of detail is impressive.
- The sci-fi aesthetic is pure 2010's-trying-to-remake-retro in the best way.
Gave this one quite a long spin.
There was one negative, on a Council mission doing a VIP escort. The 'panic' component is one of the harshest things - but reminds me of Darkest Dungeon afflictions. However, at one point, one trooper gunned down the VIP were escorting, therefore failing the mission we were on, just after one other trooper died from an alien attack.
I'm all for 'harsh RNG', if it's balanced well - however, being able to randomly destroy the objective of certain quests/missions, crosses the line to 'unfair RNG' (there is a difference).
It was a bit of a bum-note, in an otherwise fun experience. I'll keep going with this one though.
