Got round to play this past couple of days...."abomination" is right.

The original X-Com games are timeless, but I still had a fair bit of fun with the reebots. Nowhere near as good, but they still held enough quality to be worth playing through a few times.

This bag o' wank though....ugggggh. The maps are garbage, the difficulty too easy (on Normal), and the general changes to the gameplay (such as units taking turns individually instead of each side exchanging turns) are all for the worse. And It's main "Breach" gimmick is lame as fuck too; something which may be interesting if used occasionally, but which saturates this game far too much and just drags it down.

But the fucking garbage story, writing and woke angle is horrific. It fucking bleeds "diversity" in the worst way possible, and turns an average game into one which you just can't help but hate.

It really is the worst thing which could have happened to the series.
It was good enough for one playthrough. Still better than their Marvel shit which killed them.

The max difficulty was pretty fair I'd say. And the breach mechanic was a cool addition.

The characters and the story were absolutely disgusting though, yes.

Personally I had plenty of fun with subj but the woke shit left a bad taste in my mouth.

There was a mod that disable all dialogues in the game. With that mod, the game is much better.
