I'll try to be reasonable here: Chimera is NOT a bad a game. But that's definitively not a good one and that is very disappointing when you're an enthusiast of the previous games. Sure, it's cheap but even cheap is expensive when you get something that dull for it. I knew before I bought it that its gameplay would be a lightened version of what we know but "amputated" would be far more appropriated. Your soldiers only get a handful of abilities, half of them being useless... As for the really "new" addition, the narrative aspect that is teased in the trailers, well, I would have been interested... if it has been written with a little more conviction. The characters are dull archetypes half-heartedly throwing lame punchlines here and there while shooting dummies. I had a bad feeling about this games before I bought it. I should have trusted my guts...
