A Love/Hate relationship. ****SPOILERS***
Not a fan of the Alien stuff generally nor the turn-based gameplay especially but, I was drawn to this game for a reason that I can't explain. It has such a classic looking UI and the game feels very foreign and exotic to me personally; since I'm not used to these types of games... Alright, I was trying to romance the Vipers ok!? Sadly to no avails.

This game has the most bullshit hit probabilities, I have ever seen.
Started playing this back in 2018 but stopped when I got a game over on my first playthrough. My playtime was intermittent throughout the years. Finally winning the second time around; all thanks to my blatant and excessive save-scumming. Thinking back on it, I believe I was so moved by Ahoy's video about the old XCOM games, that I decided to return to XCOM 2 and it checks out, since his video was released in 2022 which is also the year that I returned to this game.
I got goosebumps playing the finale. I was invested in what was to come, weirdly enough.
I'll dump my screenshots, once again this post is very SPOILER heavy. Without further ado:
 |
| They make you connect with your characters, so that you get hit by their death. |
 |
| Trickshot! |
 |
| "Damn bro. You got the whole squad laughing" |
 |
| Goosebumps territory |
 |
| Trickshot 2 |
 |
| I know, I know. ROOKIE difficulty. I was trying to have fun, alright? |
I had fun playing this. I have XCOM: Chimera Squad in my library too, so who knows, I might play it one day. Man, I'm not beating the Lamia-lover allegations ain't I?
