Good game, very relaxing. Story is fine and has 3 possible endings.

the best and most complex colony management game that ever existed. Now with graphics!

Very relaxing game, but little short. In this game you restor eco system. It is puzzle stale game, but not very hard.
Game has 4 regions with 2 map types each and takes about 7 hours to complete. Overall its fun and realxing, but price tag of 15€ would be better.

Its good. And fun.

Game runs like crap. 20 fps, 5 in combat. Looks like my 4 Ghz i7 CPU is not supported.

It was fun, but first game was better. Story is ok, but the wow and sense of exploration is kinda missing.

Let's star with positives. Shooting mechanics is fresh and interesting. You have to see target or its parts and aim at it. Damaging body parts disable them. this is especially useful against enemies with guns, as you can break arms so they cannot shoot you.
Sadly, that works for you too and there is only on class (technician) that can fix broken arm. To make it worse, most common type of enemy, can regenerate. So disabling them has no effect.
Other thing in tactical combat is continuous spawns. On some maps, you have to do the thing and retreat. This wit combination that you have to pay for ammo (this is main resource drain) makes it quite annoy.

Overall, the game quality decrease over time. Early game, research has lots of flavor text, but longer you play, you get almost now extra info after you finish research. Also most research is irrelevant, it gives nothing interesting or better. Like having +15% damage on enemy that needs one shoot to kill. That is just lazy. You will also get most of the weapons and armor early game.
Mid game, you found out, that nothing really matters. Things happen on Geoscape, but no matter what you do, there is no progress. You just play, or stay at home base. Saving havens only matters for reward.
In the late game, you will found out, that all 4 ways to finish the game leads to the same final mission. It doesn't matter who you ally with. You can just let the game flow until you get to experience the worst part of the game. Final mission is arena, with bullet sponges enemies, artillery enemies etc. It is just designed to be exploited.
Overall the game feels rushed and unfinished. Late game is boring, you can see how quality declines and early amazement is gone.
DLCs add something that were planned but didnt make it to the game. Like air combat. That said, there is no research on flying enemies, weapons are questionable. And some dont even work on enemies, like EMP damage. This whole thing is confusing.
Next DLC expands on the precursor civilization idea, but it is implemented too early, so in main story line, you get shocking reveal, yet you already mine precursor tech.
And corruption DLC adds enemy that calls reinforcements, because thats what we needed.
So yes, the game needs year or two of development. It was already delayed on lunch and thanks to epic, released in this sorry state. Late game needs complete rework, as well as final mission.

I would say its the first game of this type. Building factory and exploiting natural resources. This game wiil pull you in like no other.

Game blocks A4tech mice. If you have one, you will not be able to join any server.

This game looks nice. Enviroment fits well with characters. Dialogues are fun, oraganic and shows character of each girl. I think this game is done well and its a lot of fun.
