At first the controls can be janky, until you get used to them, but it is worth it just for the story-line and atmosphere. Of all the XCOM remakes and re-imagines, this one gives the best sci-fi creepy sounds and atmosphere, like the original XCOM that I played in the 1990's. The original used to make me jump when an alien suddenly appeared and shot at you. This is the only one that I keep going back to replay. I like the new XCOM and XCOM2, but they just don't have the same feeling. 5/5

Like all older 2K games, it is currently unplayable ever since the 2k launcher was removed. Will change review when its fixed!

they try to make real-time 3rd person shooter and keep tactical control of a team like in "regular" XCOM. It just does not work.
if the time would pause for the tactical choices (like in other games) it could work. It does not, it just slows down. it is very difficult to do the tactical combat since there is no zoom out overview. it is necessary to run around in 3rd person view to recon the battlefield with time running, slowly at best, but running. And people shooting at you.
does not work for me. poor 3rd person shooter and even worse tactical combat. cool setting though.
