U-don't-play more like

This Free-LC is ok, honestly it compares pretty even with the rest of their DLC, only difference is this doesn't cost 1/3 of a new game

Download it and try it yourself

Its just a good FreeLC, something they should have done a long time ago

Just when you think they can't make the AI worse... They go ahead and surprise you again!

Pros:
- interesting builder system, kinda works
- Nice artwork for the tiles
- Love that a city isn't just 1 tile anymore, but hate how they went about doing that (see below)
- Fluid culture system
- UI is ok, similiar to Civ V but a little cleaner design

Cons
- Terrible AI
- Boring gameplay
- Too many limitations that are designed to force you to "specialise" your city, but just result in tedious placements and WTF moments of why you can't expand your 24 person city because you can only have 6 buildings adjacent to the main city tile
- Combat is pretty weak
- Techs are pretty boring
- Maps seem repetitive, despite removing "starting bias" and always using randomised
- Civs are ok, they have a nice characteristics attribute, but its nullified due to the steaming turd which is the warmongery system
- Diplomacy is a myth
- Terrible AI (just to reiterate)
- Worst "DLC" (since thats what they call it, even if it has less content than a premium packet of crisps... the ones that just come with air) for a fairly reliable company
- AT THE TIME OF THIS REVIEW: they disabled workshop, meaning even if people wanted to fix the game for them... they can't


In short: Buy Civ 5; its cheaper, it allows for steam workshop and its pretty much the same game except the culture rework (though there might be a mod for that soon)

Maximum amount you should pay for this game: £20 - $25

Boring and should be in the main game

First off; I was super excited about this game, and sadly its pretty disappointing, rather than write an essay i'll give a simple list

Pros:
- great graphics/visuals
- like the customisation and base building, improved from the first one which was already good
- great mods and customisations to weapons and armour
- Squad building is great fun and lots of customisation to really create unique characters (I was running around with Tracer from Overwatch and Rex from Mass Effect)
- 2 enemies are quite cool and fun to go up against, and challenging too but not in a "FFS i missed again!"

Cons:
- 80% chance, you'll still miss every bloody time
- repetitive missions, "go to X and get X"
- Constant missions which serve little purpose and you're sat there wondering "i just did this mission?"... see above
- Science research is tedious
- resource aquisition is sooooo tedious "go to X and scan, get interupted by this message, now this thing has happened, and its not important but heres this thing..." it goes on for the whole game but you get my point
- If you've played the first one you'll remember that you struggled to rid the earth from a savage alien invasion, it was great, people died, heroes were made and the earth united in a struggle against outer space. Well... screw all that cos they took over anyways and now they rule the earth and its the rebel alliance vs the empire all over again
- you're people will get gravely wounded if someone sneezes in their direction, and even if a hummingbird gently rests on their shoulder whilest on mission... they'll have trauma
- Again, mission designs are so lazy it deserves mentioning twice
- Repetitive enemies

In short: get XCOM 1 with expansion, otherwise this game is a big grind to a pretty mediocre end which will result in you going "meh, can i still get a refund?"

P.S. DLC's are a joke too, but for different reasons

The devs are trying to rez this game like a father poking roadkill with a stick because he doesn't want his kids realising he killed the deer he just hit... but the stick ain't infused with jesus

"Stanley decided to upvote his favorite video game, he had purchased it a while ago and continuously returned to it even thought Stanley already knew that outcome.
Day after day Stanley listened to my voice and did what I said, but something is odd about Stanley today? He's reviewing something instead of doing his "work" and typing everything I'm saying into the box?"

- Stanley ? No.427

What does this game and Star Citizen have in common?
They'll both never be released

you'll get bored of the 2 years of content they put in in about 1 hour, at that point you'll realise its just coconuts

Auto-resolve simulator because all the battles are repetitive and have the strategic prowess of a small cub in an officers hat, this game was made by scrubs for scrubs
