Just an observation.Xcom 2 with war of the chosen. Coming from XCOM 2, really frustrated by inability to vault over waist-high rocks. Never liked the fact that you really didn't have different strategies for dealing with different alien types in the old games(Chryssalids excluded), so, I'm crossing my fingers the various species get some more unique behaviours and/or abilities. I imagine items will fix that later on, at least partially. It was basically just a matter of forcing the aliens to come to you, shooting the ones that came close. The demo was really plain, strategy wise. Really didn't like the fact that I had to look at the guide every few seconds in the old games, and don't see the point of keeping the obfuscation in a spiritual remake. I really want to know what's the chance of triggering overwatch fire, what's the shot spread for the various weapons, stuff like that. My opinions? Needs more feedback on your actions. trees between you and the target significantly affect accuracy). Cover indicators are pretty nice, but there's still a lot of factors to it that are not obvious (i.e. Bastards seem to have better accuracy than your dudes, but don't always one shot. Seems even harder to hit anything than in the classics, takes two shots to take down the sectoid analogue, even more for the officer ayys. Graphics could use a lot of work and a whole lot of optimization (again, early alpha), but what little music there is is right on the spot. Feels very much like the old games, even including the janky parts. It's just one mission, no random map generation yet, no items on your dudes besides guns and ammo, two very similar alien species. The demo is obviously at a very early stage of development. Didn't even complete a proper campaign in the old games. Well, as a preface, I am not much of a classic XCOM player. I just downloaded it and went through it.
