MY REVIEW • PLAYTIME NOT RECORDED
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
RPGActionStrategy
6/10
What I liked
I can appreciate the amount of strategy involved. Managing your squad, choosing positions and deciding how to approach each situation gives the game a lot of tactical depth.
What I didn't like
Turn-based combat isn't really my preferred style. I prefer controlling the action directly instead of taking turns and planning every individual move.
Combat & Gameplay
There is clearly a lot of strategy involved in positioning, cover, abilities and managing your soldiers, but the slower tactical gameplay isn't a great match for me.
Final Thoughts
I understand why people who enjoy tactical games can really like XCOM, but the turn-based gameplay doesn't fit the way I normally like to play. 6/10.
