I've been a fan of XCOM since the original, but some of the spinoffs have been pretty crap..... I fear this may be another one of those. No gameplay reviews out yet and the pre-order giveaways on Steam seem just a bit too desperate.
Destructoid accidentally put their review out early, the review embargo is suppose to be when the game releases (Not a red flag there at all). It's apparently shit.
It looks like Mass effect with a 'command your npcs' mode thrown in. Looking at the video's on YT, it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be but I'll be waiting for a price drop before I get it.
