Really good xcom/RTS title just the save system could use manual saving. The devs really need to understand that this style of gameplay is really good just doesnt have any replay value once you beat everything. Aside from that, the game doesnt waste your abilities with nonsense as everything DOES serve a purpose except for maybe the flamethrower. Guns are good but the sidearms i never used as they never had a real time to be used as you looked and tried to prevent having to do so.

If there is one apsect i really want hammered on is the way the missions are presented in a way of being able to move around the map and being able to tackle objectives in whatever way you want. They warn you about not trying to tackle missions in one sitting which you can but i dont get enough reason to not retreat back if you are playing carefully. Playing recklessly will just get you over ran and i like that, the hunt mechanic i feel starts to get obsolete or just broken in someway. its hard to explain aside from it feels silly one lone bug away from everyone sets off a chain reaction of harassment which just leads to you making a kill zone and waiting till the fighting and the hunt is over.

Stress mechanics are nice, i just wish there was more of a reason to have stress than to easily wane it off with a pit-stop to the closet and moving on. The trauma system is really nice, there are some you can easily work with and some you just will not take out again till they redeem themselves or you just have someone who is just better to train out in the field.
