XCOM®: Chimera Squad

Kinda simplified compared to its predecessors, yet enjoyable. The addition of pre-made characters (as classes, basically) greatly enriched the story and it was fun to play around. Just have to ignore the silly cliffhanger at the end.

Bonjour. Bon jeu si vous aimez la licence. 2-3 nouveautés qui changent la façon de jouer. Par contre, je trouve le jeu un peut répétitif à la longue et je n' ai pas encore joué plus de 4 H. Mon avis changera surement au cours du jeu.

In general a nice spin-off for the XCOM series. Overall if you liked XCOM 1 and 2, you'll like this one. It's smaller in scale, but in the end I liked it. It didn't overstayed its welcome. Good: - The breach mechanic works well, better than I initially thought. At least for the length of the game. It's not perfect, but it's something fresh. - Encounters and enemies mechanics are (mostly) more balanced. It's clear Firaxis had experience from previous two games. Same about the general campaign flow. - Each agent being its own class is nice, makes for more variety and unique playstyles. It was satisfying to explore how different squad combinations work and synergize. And when I found a nice combo - it was fun Bad: - My biggest problem with this game is the general vibe. First, the general direction Firaxis took with the series, of different alien species living amongst humanity together, all that blabla. I don't like it. What makes it even worse is how cringe the agents/characters are. It's really the modern "Netflix" sensitivity in how they talk and behave, and in the end I didn't like any of them. - Story is okay during the investigations (nothing special, but not really bad), but in the end it's the classic reveal out of nowhere that's not satisfying. Too sudden and I didn't really feel the stakes. - I said the game is mostly balanced but there ARE some broken points - some agents are clearly more powerful than others (by the end of the game some were downing multiple baddies each turn, while others barely made a difference). There are some enemies which can quickly spiral out of control (yes, the Ronins). But it's not as bad as previous XCOM games. - The research part of base management was very meh

Consigliato poiché una leggera variante dei predecessori nonostante non ne sia all'altezza. Si vede che è un prodotto al risparmio. Ci hanno provato ed è uscito un gioco gradevole, seppur semplice. La storia poco interessante, personaggi macchiettistici. Ammetto che non mi sia piaciuto molto, e non solo per i bug grafici, ma l'unica novità degna di nota è l'inizio degli incontri. Mappe minuscole, poco rischio in genere. Un piccolo zuccherino a chi manca il frenchise di Xcom ma senza piena soddisfazione.

Meh. The game is a really strange addition that nobody wanted nor asked for.. For what it is, it's a decent game if picked up below 10€.. Please, devs. Give us a proper new XCOM entry. If the premise of this one was to be taken further, it'd be interesting to be the attacker and/or conquerer, utilising the aliens and their powers.

I am a big XCOM 2 fan and this game just gets me my fix ^^

It is decent.
