14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.

We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.

O jogo fica crashando no tutorial. Simplesmente kkkkk
Мені не зовсім зрозуміло, що деякі вважають цю гру невдалою. Так, вона відрізняється від інших серій XCOM, проте це зовсім інший жанр. Зовсім інша механіка гри. Навпаки, тут відтворили гру зовсім з іншого боку і покрокова стратегія сюди б зовсім не лягла, оскільки втратився б її темп і емоції, які динаміка гри диктувала. Шикарна гра, з шикарним сюжетом, з різними кінцівками. Однозначно рекомендую до проходження, проте одразу раджу ставити складність вище за другу, оскільки за всю гру я впав лише двічі, тому якби було трохи важче, то мабуть це додало ще більше емоцій під час гри.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 8: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I totally understand why XCOM fans don't like this game. As most of the players, I remember the great trailers the game had very well. Look them up, the whole premise felt like somekind of a Fallout game set pre nuclear war. The looks changed drastically for some reason during the development. It's not a AAA banger, but it's a fairly good, yet clunky 3rd person squad shooter, serving as somekind of prequel to the 2K XCOM series. It plays like a Mass Effect clone set in the 60's with aliens. After 8 years I gave it another try and found it still to be entertaining, although the gameplay is pretty streamlined and dated, but the story is still pretty good and I vividly remember the well executed plot twist towards the end, So my current mood is pretty optimistic. If you're okay with clunky gameplay and want to experience a nicely written alien invasion story set in the 1960's, check it out, when it's in a sale. At the time I'm writing this review, it's on sale for 3.99 €, which is absolutely fine. Currently I'm playing it on a Windows 10 desktop PC and it didn't crash once.
Uma experiência cativante que mistura estratégia e ação em terceira pessoa, ambientada em um universo de ficção científica fascinante. O jogo oferece uma história envolvente, personagens interessantes e combates táticos que incentivam o planejamento e a tomada de decisões rápidas. A mecânica de comando de equipe é intuitiva e bem-executada, proporcionando uma sensação de controle total sobre o campo de batalha. No entanto, um ponto negativo importante é a ausência do idioma português, o que pode dificultar a imersão de quem não domina outras línguas, especialmente em um jogo onde os diálogos e decisões são tão importantes. Fora isso, o jogo é excelente em praticamente todos os aspectos. Com uma jogabilidade sólida e um enredo que prende a atenção, The Bureau é uma escolha imperdível para fãs de XCOM e para aqueles que gostam de um bom desafio estratégico com muita ação. Diversão garantida!
TPS táctico retro mezclado con Expedientes X.
Jogo muito bom, e a mecanica de controlar o squad estrategicamento é bem massa historia interessante tambem.
If your like classic XCOM this might not be the game for you. It changes from the traditional top downish style into a third person shooter. The story overall is decent it kept me going and my god the TWISTS were good. But on higher difficulties the game is infuriating, and the friendly AI is meh for lack of a better word. They will barely scrap by in a fight without you shooting an enemy with them. The gun-play is good but the squad mechanic just feels tapped on, Once you find 2 agents and max them out there's no reason to change them because its really hard to let your squad mates actually die. Overall -Pros- Decent story Decent gunplay Good characters -Cons- Buggy Choices feel inconsequential. Get this game on sale, at most 8 hours of content if you do all the side missions and maybe 30 more minutes if you do the investigations. DO NOT GET THE DLC
I loved the modern XCOM strategy game and like sci-fi shooters, so I was hoping this would be a great mix of things. Unfortunately the game didn't run very well, and the visuals didn't have the appeal of the other XCOM titles. Probably one of the biggest things was how clunky the controls felt, feels like none of the actions were smooth.
Stürzt immer ab :(
The Bureau me surpreendeu de forma muito positiva. O jogo abraça totalmente o tema alienígena e entrega aquela atmosfera de Área 51 e bases secretas que sempre imaginamos em histórias de conspiração. É uma pegada bem diferente dos XCOM tradicionais, e isso foi um ponto muito interessante pra mim. A história prende desde o começo. Os diálogos e o mistério inicial criam uma curiosidade real sobre o que está acontecendo, e o jogo consegue manter essa sensação ao longo da campanha. A ambientação é um dos maiores destaques. O período dos anos 60, misturado com clima de Guerra Fria e tecnologia alienígena, cria um mundo imersivo e cheio de personalidade. Desde escritórios governamentais até cidades pequenas destruídas pela invasão, tudo transmite a sensação de que algo enorme está sendo escondido da população. O gameplay em terceira pessoa funciona muito bem. Mesmo sendo um shooter, o sistema tático é bem implementado: você pode comandar os parceiros da equipe, usar habilidades e montar estratégias durante os combates. Os agentes sobem de nível, têm classes diferentes e ainda existe uma customização simples de aparência e cores de roupa. No geral, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified é uma experiência divertida, atmosférica e bem diferente dentro do universo XCOM.
