This Is The Police meets Rainbow 6 Siege meets XCOM... It's a super fun side game for XCOM veterans, and a new experience for any strategy fan.

I've read a lot of the negative reviews and most of them stem from the fact that people were looking for XCOM 3. This is a $20 game, this is not XCOM 3. Hell, War Of The Chosen was $40 and that was just a DLC, so this game is brilliant for the price it's at.

Others had problems that the characters lacked good personalities. I disagree with this point. I enjoy the light, humorous, MCU-esque vibe that the characters give off and once you dig into the game, the interactions the characters have range anywhere from sad and emotional to mocking the XCOM franchise.

The third biggest criticism chain (sadly) is that some people think it's SJW propaganda... because there's "aliens" I guess? And there is species discrimination? If anything the game is anti-racist (which is debatable because species vs race) so are they saying they are racist? Idk, it's some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, if you're a rational human being you'll ignore those blockheads.

The worst part of this game to me is the lack of customization. Obviously you can't create troops but even the guns can't be visually modified and you can only change the color of armor. Maybe it will be something they add in the future or something a mod can fix, but it doesn't really subtract from the core of the game.

I purchased the game for $10 when it was on sale and easily my favorite $10 or below game, maybe even $25 or below. 10/10 for price to content ratio, 8/10 just solely on content. Give it a try next sale if you are unsure, but if you like XCOM, it is not much different.
