Not because Phoenix Point is necessarily better, but because it takes that formula and molds it into a game that is definitely not X-COM, but everything I wanted X-COM to be.
In fact, I doubt I can go back to it at all. Well, after playing Phoenix Point, I’m not sure I care about X-COM anymore. Interested in a video version of this review? Check it out on YouTube! Don’t be fooled by appearances, Phoenix Point makes serious changes to the X-COM formula From the release of Chimera Squad, which carries the X-COM name without anything that makes X-COM great, to the reveal that Marvel’s Midnight Suns “won’t share a single mechanic with X-COM.” I have eagerly awaited even a sliver of news about X-COM 3 and have only been met with disappointment. X-COM 2: War of the Chosen is one of my all-time favorite games.
Phoenix Point has some very big shoes to fill.
