They fixed it, all is right with the world
New dialogue options have a lot of potential too

Good stuff

Very good

I'm in love with this game. It is the cutest thing ever.

The game relies far too much on bad RNG and unbalanced action economy, coming off as "hard" when in reality it's just unfair. It does not offer any reasonable way to approach these obstacles and as such they aren't true challenges, they're just games of chance.
AI does not get smarter with greater difficulty, items and new areas merely cost more and enemies are stronger, rather than more intelligent. The AI in general is stupid. When it does flank, it runs out into the open where it can be shot by your entire squadron.
The timers on everything other than VIP missions are nonsensical and unfair.
Stealth is terribly done, with enemies often seeing through walls that they ought not to.
Far too often you can shoot enemies behind multiple layers of cover/walls, when you clearly shouldn't be able to.

It's worth it if you can get it on sale, but only because firaxis finally caved and allowed regular mods that remove some of these issues.
6/10

Victory depends on your teammates doing their job more than your own skill.

Fails to live up to the original, but it's not bad. It's good if you REALLY enjoyed the original, but the story structure and themes that made the original so creative are absent here.

If you love the universe to death you'll like it, otherwise don't bother. You're better off watching a walkthrough if you really want to see what little relates to the build up to the next game.

If you're going to buy it, get it on steam sale.

So happy I got this game. It's fun as hell, even if a touch difficult too learn. It's really rewarding too, and you can be surprisingly creative with factions, alliances, etc.

This game is overhyped trash. It's worth it enough for 3 dollars, yes. But in just shy of 2 hours I've completed nearly all possible endings. Woe unto anyone who buys it full price. It isn't worth other games you could get for 5 dollars or less.

It's fun, balanced, entertaining, and free. A must have for any starting member of the PC master race and steam. Features a hell of a lot of game modes of every variety and combination of CTF, King of the Hill and TDM. It also features a cooperative mode and actually has a surprising amount of lore.

Tl;dr: There is no reason not to get this game.
