XCOM Removal Is A Door Out Reveal

It works like this: in Chimera squad, on the trip we are no longer the weird news when you spend half your time passing a map with your heart in your mouth. Instead, with the focus of the game now on the explosive SWAT team's performance, the action now focuses on a certain combination of room and home, and each time you move between them, you get the Brake move.

This stops the game and gives you the opportunity to plan for a new entryway, when the door is kicked or knocked down and your whole team comes in attacking, firing. It sounds like it's too fast, Call of DutyWalking – kinda, but actually in line with the established environment XCOM to him.

This point where planning meets execution, where rubber meets road, is my favorite of all video games. Total War it will ask you to spend hours dragging troops around and building fortifications in a turn-based area, but when it's time to take action, it not only rewards you, it switches to a real-time battle, your tablet is dry with replaceable screams of curdling blood and hail of arrows. This is an extreme example, but it all goes away Civilization & # 39; s military and communications forces to Fire Emblem & # 39; s the dialogue hits the same jump.

I'm not saying this XCOM the variety is as good as any of those games in general, but when it comes to the point where itch is scrawled, it's sharp as hell. The violation is funny with humor. You are given a break and time to think, as the game allows you to give each team member a door or a window, placing them in a row to go and shoot, and also the weight of who to send there, and that some entry points should be used at all as they are very dangerous.

It is probably the single richest decision you have ever made XCOM a game. Instead of narrowing down the plan for the whole team, or focusing on a single unit opportunity, here you take a little of that: planning everything to do something, but clicking BREACH is done in the same time zones as you tend to move one person.

Oh, WRITE. Click this button and all you have to do is list it off and on action. An explosion exploded inside, the first person entered the room, a gun appeared, selecting a target and fire. After that you have to do it again. Also. Also and, until everyone rushed into the room and got the gun.

The whole group goes through a cut-down, metaphorical moment Chimera squad personally, for a long time XCOM The experience is grounded in its purest form, your weapon and targeted options in seconds instead of minutes.

It is it's fun, all the time, no matter how many times I do it or equip it, until I get back to regular ol & # 39; XCOMTactics -style is on the verge of leaving while you finish relaxing the room – a heart-based experience of two of the best games ever made – almost disappointing.

Ideally, this is a little more game than usual XCOM experience, no matter how many new tactics you can bring to the party. Aside from the enjoyment of the Bulk's way you really feel the limitations of the game, and the narrative, while helping the meat in its use, robs the game of its structure, one of the strengths of the great series.

But in those shiny, shiny seconds, where the right decisions and real-time actions come together, this video game moment is as perfect as I've ever been.
