PCGamer covered the game pretty well, I agree with what they claim.
87/100
As for Dishonored - unless you absolutely have to ply it now, I'd wait for the GOTY edition.

That's my plan for Dishonored, either GOTY or I'm expecting a price drop before Christmas.
As for X-Com, my initial impression was that they simplified things but the reality is they just streamlined it. I've been trying Classic difficulty with Ironman mode and it's brutal. Maps seem a bit smaller than I remember but that's proving to be a good thing, it was never fun to have to slowly scour a map trying to find the one last alien.
The combat interface seems to have been designed with a console in mind but not necessarily as the primary input method, it just seems like it would work smoothly the exact same way across all platforms. Not a big fan of the 1 global base method either but whatever.
Either way it's a definite pick-up for anyone who enjoyed the classic X-Com games. |
