The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

Классная игра,что то в духе mass effect,лучше чем мерзкая вторая часть

Alright, let's get the obvious crap out of the way so we can focus on the gameplay. [h2]Graphics[/h2] The graphics are holding up pretty well. Lots of love went into the modeling work on the guns, clothes and environments make me wish we didn't get into freaky fashion the way we did. Or discard dope pants and that vest-tie combination. What's wrong with that? I'm gonna wear that stuff when I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... wait, what was I saying? Right. Textures are alright, mostly crisp and sharp. You can tell they had to bend the rules in some places, but it's largely in parts of the environment that you wouldn't look at anyway, so increasing the texture resolution would arguably be wasted VRAM. Overall, graphics are good. As is wearing a vest with a tie. [h2]Sound & Music[/h2] They... exist? Seriously, all you have to know about the music is that it's there. It has your zingers, your build-ups, your epic conclusion music, but it's not at all groundbreaking. It's there, it adds to the atmosphere, it leaves your brain. Which is by no means bad, mind. The sound effects of normal guns are completely average. Sci-fi guns are dang good though, I found them to feel satisfying as hell. They feel nice to shoot and they got an impact in both sound and gunplay. [h2]Gameplay[/h2] FINALLY. The gameplay is like [b]nothing else[/b] I have seen so far. I mean, sure, you equip your soldiers, you got your AI buddies and your loadouts and whatnot, same old. But the AI buddies themselves are where the fun really begins. When you get started, it's all very cover-shooter-ish. Except you can give your squadmates very detailed orders and they're pretty good at getting them done. Before long, however, you might find that they deal no damage and take a dirt nap within seconds. Guess what? The cover percentage and flanking symbols aren't for show: Your squaddies are actually playing real-time XCOM! Shove them in full cover and they can take ridiculous amounts of fire. Pull off a decent flanking maneuver and watch them solo an entire "action-arena". Can't flank? Lay a trap with your mates and flush out the enemies yourself! Combine this with the choices and the dispatch missions and you basically have XCOM with real-time... nah, I'm just kidding. This game is way too short for any mechanic beyond the above to actually matter and they wasted a [b]ton[/b] of potential here. I'm still recommending it for being innovative, but buy it on sale.
