Jesse this! They know for Xcom 3 they need to make changes to distinguish itself from 1&2, especially considering 2 was so amazing. So why not release a $20 beta that include some of the big changes. I assume because of having plot characters, there’ll be more plot focus in 3. Also interesting that they are letting us play with aliens in the main campaign which was an idea the community had been wanting. Interested to see how this all plays out. Been a big fan of the series and love the work done

I don't think the 7/10 would change, that feels like a fair review for a fun, but flawed game with some serious bugs, but for someone who's only information for this game comes from watching a review, it sort of frames the game in a very different way then it should be considered as a perches.

I just played the first couple of missions... "Breach" is nothing more than the "concealed" concept all over again, a even more aggressive (and less tactical) way to jumpstart the game and take enemies by surprise. As character abilities goes Xcom 2 had special armor and psi agents that mimicked aliens already. So, at first glance it seems this game is trying to flip the formula, but the major elements were always there.

Adding to the chorus of - this isn't, nor was it intended to be a full sized spin off. It's regular price is 1/3 of XCOM 2 at launch. And it is currently available for 1/2 that. In addition, in light of that criticisms of it feeling "thinner" seem laughable without that context. Finally, I suppose it is possible that XCOM 3 will ditch the meat grinder of nameless rookies, but that seems unlikely. It's helpful to Firaxis I'd imagine, to let them know what shouldn't dovetail back into the main series, but recognizing that this isn't the main series when offering critiques would make them more contextually useful. All that said, thanks for the review.

Coming from someone who doesn't enjoy turn based all that much, I can say that its an okay game. I somewhat liked the previous xcoms since you get to customize characters and all. I was a bit disheartened when I learned that you can't have your own characters. When the trailer came out, I got excited thinking that I could have an entire squad made out of nothing but sectoids. A pantsless sectoid gang screeching at everyone at everything in the effort to keep the peace. Ah well. Its $10 which I suppose is fair for the US market. A bit on the mid-range cost over in my country, though. I would recommend this with great caution.

To be honest i really like the breach mechanic, since i i believe the phase in witch you approach the enemy is the most boring one (might just be me). I understand that it is nice to be able to make a strategy while you approach, but personally i do not like that. For Xcom3 maybe you could mix it, the breach mechanic for when attacking buildings and the classical one for outdoor missions.

It is $10 because it is not really a full XCOM game. It feels like a beta release of some new mechanics that may be released in a real full fledged game. The cartoony menus and dialogues do not fit the darkness you expect from the series where you are fighting for humanity's survival. It might be really fun to newcomers of the series and maybe those who do not like bulky unit management choices. Since it costs only $10 the disappointment doesn't hurt as much which I think deserves an applause for the developers.

Some of the new game mechanics I found somewhat enjoyable and I could be eager to see them in a future major release as well.

The game does not cost $10. It costs $20. It is on sale for $10. This video will be up for long past the last day of the sale. So he has no reason to mention that it is $10. But yes, he still should've mentioned the low price point.

This game reminds me of Mass Effect for some reason.

A game where humans co-exist with aliens, and we work in a multi-species force, sounds pretty Mass Effect to me

I personally haven't seen any BUGS, besides the regular "facing the wrong way during shooting" that I expected to see from an XCOM game. Also, not having character development shouldn't be a negative...like...why did you expect an XCOM game to have a super-dense story? I'm honestly impressed with the story as it is. XCOM 1 and 2 were so watered down for narrative that this is legit a breath of fresh air. I also didn't find the lack of permadeath as a negative. I already save-scummed a lot, and after like 12+ hours playing these last 2 days...I'm finding a lot more positive than negative.

For the price it´s a very solid piece of work. If aliens ever came to earth it´s unthinkable to imagine that many wouldn´t join their ranks, we have always been divided in religious, philosophical and political beliefs. Besides, apart from global annihilation it´s hard to imagine any horrors aliens can achieve which we already havn´t done ourselves. The Nazis, Rwanda, Praga, Yangzhou and with an almost sci-fi touch the Japanese experiments on Chinese early last century .... the list is practically endless. I kinda like the concept of moving on past a war and trying things from a new perspective.

I see lots of Xcom fans saying it's only $10. But when a $10 indie game is released with small bugs the reviewer and comments always say "price shouldn't come into it" when it gets a 5/10 score.
