Haven't completed a campaign, but I enjoyed the experience so far.
What I like:
- Ballistic system is certainly better system compared to traditional dice roll in XCOM.
- Geoscape is more complex with multiple base, squad, and aircraft which you need to micromanage
- Classes and inventory system are flexible and push you to be more creative, although the skills are not really flashy
- I love the overall thematic of the story and how they presented the cutscenes. Good way to present the story in budget

What I don't like:
- Lack of level variations. Most places feel similar
- Lack of enemy variations. The variations are only presence in what weapon they bring, or armor in some part.
- Lack of excitement. Due to lack of variations I mentioned above, combined with mediocre VA, BGM, and SFX

Overall, it's not as bad as most people said IMO. Sure it has flaws, but I think you should give it a try if you're fan of the genre. There are 2 more DLCs that will be released, with addition of more QoL improvement in the future so I can only see the game keep getting better

edit: Finished a campaign, finally! Do I change my mind about the game? not really, I still think it's a fun game. Late game can be quite grindy and boring, but I will still recommend it to the fan of the genre
