The various mechanical picadilloes of nu-XCom 1 were too much to take, so I just watched all the major cutscenes on youtube.
I purchased both 1 and 2 during the GOG summer sale, so I wasn't going to let 2 pass without at least giving it a try.
Wow, it's the complete inverse of 1. All the gameplay gripes I had with the first have been adressed, all the things I liked were expanded. But the whole alien horror setting has been chucked and it might as well be a GI Joe game at this point. Plus all my new recruits look like total douchebags. I almost bailed on the game when the second non-tutorial mission took place in a sewer, but I'm finding the gameplay compelling enough to keep going at this point. But holy crap these moustache-twirling chosen eliminate any remaining trace of horror in this game. |
