A cheap and cheerful version of XCOM. Everthing is smaller and simpler. Fights are per-room, rather than on a large map. Chimera Squad is not as good as the earlier games, but it is still enjoyable and worth playing.

Awful third party launcher makes it slow to start and frustrates me before I ever manage to even get the actual game to launch.

Frequently requires signing new user agreements for the thing I already bought and was already playing before being allowed to keep playing.

I'm a fan of XCOM 1&2, and I put off playing this one-off installment until now. I regret that I didn't give it a chance sooner because there is so much I enjoy about this one! The new Breach phase is awesome and adds an additional layer of strategy to combat. I'm also a fan of the comic book style art and storytelling in the cut scenes/dialogue between characters. Managing Unrest on the map in City 31 reminds me of playing the board game Pandemic, where things are heating up with every turn, and you need to stay on top of it as to not get overwhelmed.

Great game, and if its on sale you should most definitely give it a shot if you're a fan of turn-based tactics and XCOM in particular.
