There'sa potential for a strike

Years ago, I played the first XCOM, which found a worthy successor to the second part of "Terror from the Deep" very happy. The mix of strategy, business simulation, tactics and role play was already a guarantee for many exciting hours of play.
This game now is now back to where the first part started. Here, the game is now technically up to date, apart from a few Steuerungsbugs runs it pleasant interference (which nowadays is not necessarily the norm is).
For me there is, however, some points of the game is not to give the maximum rating.

Plus points

+ The game mimics fundamentally the old XCOM.
+ Technically the game is very good ported to the present day.
+ Basic missions are more varied than in the old game.
+ Many well-crafted cutscenes that make the game a continuous history.

Negatives

- The RPG component of the game has been greatly veringert. Skills can be developed only in pre-paths. It can be used by characters only 4-5 pieces of equipment, depending on the specialization and 2-3 by a special piece of equipment.
- There is only one main base, the rest is just air base.
- There are no attacks by aliens on XCOM bases ... what was the old game with the trickiest and most exciting combat situation.
- Resource management is significantly less than in the predecessor. Previously thought to itself whether to insert a new magazine in the energy weapon, if only because the stock was limited thereto.
- More generally, one has the impression was simplified and bawled the whole of the management area of ​​the game to much.
- The game is a relatively short time already played (but it can be so more than once to start).
- Only an alien base can be attacked.
- The game develops into linear.
- Final mission ... I did not like.

If I did not know the predecessors and my expectations would not have been correspondingly high, then I would be absolutely delighted with this game. On balance it is a good and solid game that meets the basic purpose of a computer game, it has! I would now like to see an addon that integrates the complexity of the old game concept in this new game.
