At first I wasn't entirely sold, as I felt like there were a few hiccups in the narrative and its structure. However, I can't deny that I was genuinely, emotionally invested in every character's fate by the end.

Great game in a lot of good ways, but be prepared; in typical Silent Hill fashion, the game really drags on as you progress.

Very cute game with good times and some shockingly good voice acting. It's not particularly long, but it's very much worth your money.

It's good practice for when I'm trying to leave this hellhole!

Holy hell, I think this is the worst dialogue I have ever heard from a major publisher. It's like the localization team just threw the script through Bing's translator and then handed the voice cast their lines in alphabetical order.

In spite of that, this is a very fun game. It suckered me in and I had three playthroughs down before I touched any other game. Great soundtrack too!

Decent little game and a pretty good deal at $3, but I'd advise any potential buyers to make sure their hardware is up to snuff; this game has my RX 7800XT running *very* warm.

I can't remember the last time I played a game with "simulator" in its title and it turned out to actually be good.

This had the potential to be really good, but the core gameplay is significantly weaker than the original XCOM series. I found the breach mechanic and the change to a "timeline" turn system to be interesting, but it was seldomly well executed. The game is unfortunately just ruined by constant enemy spam and being even more luck-based than its predecessors.

Strangely, I think my biggest gripe lies with how many missions rely on reinforcement spam to push the mission along; not only is it the least fun way to motivate the player into taking risks and finishing missions quickly, it makes no sense thematically. Why is it that the highly advanced SWAT team fighting a cult is somehow less capable of securing a perimeter than the guerilla fighters taking on a global dictatorship in XCOM 2?

A wonderful game with some wonderful developers to go alongside it. Rock and stone!
