XCOM® 2

Teamsteuerung macht Spass, immer neue Fähigkeiten der Soldaten. Einfach gut.

the aliens in this game are basically Israel

This is such a fun game. At first I didn't think I would like it but now I can't stop playing!

Really enjoyed the gameplay. loved the alien tactics. wish there were some more to the main story line though. once the chosen dies the game is just straightlined.

things have changed a lot since 2014 in terms of what i consider acceptable from a tactics game. at a bare minimum i expect the UI to accurately reflect what will happen when I click a button, or offer confirmations for important, irreversible actions. i also expect that if you want your game to look nice, you first make it systemically robust and not obscure crucial information for the sake of aesthetics. there is a system in this game which tells you if a move will break cover, but it's not always accurate. even if no warnings are showing, it's possible that a move will clip the corner of a watched tile, or move into the LOS of an enemy which you don't know about and thus don't have warnings for. i can accept the reasoning behind the latter, but it's also not clear which tiles are in "fog of war" and which are just dark, so it's impossible to know where enemies could be. any move can result in breaking cover and you have no way of knowing, which could be intentional but just feels oppressive to me. the game is really 3d, with multiple height levels and detailed scenery, all of which can be used as cover or destroyed. there are also frequent bugs with this system as characters can noclip melee and shoot through walls as though they didn't exist. sometimes the visual placement of a character model implies something other than their actual cover / LOS status. shots that seem to clearly be possible are actually blocked, parsing which tiles will allow you to shoot an enemy is difficult, and knowing the chance of hitting from any given tile is impossible without committing to move there. I finally quit when a soldier running up onto a building was spotted by an enemy I had vision on and no warning that my move would break cover. Then a snake inside that building clipped its tongue through the wall and pulled her inside. the aliens then had perfect information on where my squad was and mostly killed me on their next turn. you can abuse some of these issues to your own benefit but it doesn't feel fair. it's always possible that i'm just bad, but when I break cover or lose a soldier it never feels like i made a tactical mistake. it just feels like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
