What does that mean? What, exactly, will I get if I decide to build X instead of Y. Not just vaguely worded flavor text that alludes to combat capabilities, like “you can staff more engineers here”. I need detailed information about facilities and upgrades before I build them. Just doesn’t jive.Įngineering and item data. Or perhaps there shouldn’t be scientist slots at all because they’re all doing research. Too many engineer slots with not enough scientist slots. Every decision is based on “will this help me take out an enemy before they get a turn?” The risk averse nature of this gameplay characteristic permeates every decision the player makes and frankly it's boring and monotonous. This lessons is reinforced early to players with seemingly successful missions with zero KIA resulting in a restart because you just can’t field a team due to injuries. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen because literally every decision regarding enemies is “kill it before it touches me”

It would be fun to interact with them and make calculated decisions about how to deal with them. XCOM 2 has a variety of enemies each with different tactics, strengths and weaknesses. 'Shaken' condition is the cherry on top of this sundae. I know it’s not realistic but realism here forces the player to make “unfun” decisions. And healing soldiers on the battlefield should make a difference as well. Injuries shouldn’t occur unless serious damage happens on the battlefield. One pip of damage means a team member is out of commission for a random amount of days? This is in contrast to most other combat games which have purposely gone AGAINST realism in order to make a better gameplay experience. The game is FAR too punishing of combat hits. Starting to transition into the macro side: I need to know what can explode, what it takes to make it explode and on which turn it will explode.

I should know for each visible enemy on the battlefield why I cannot target it. Weapon ranges – mine and visible enemies. Which abilities will be active? Which enemies will be attackable? Can I get to the evac zone next turn if I stay there? I need more data about a tile I’m moving to before I move to it. I’m managing 6 guys here and I have to manually tab through to find this every time. It should be obvious on the UI which soldiers have yet to take their turn. But it infuriates me every time I play seeing design decisions that don’t match it’s peers and don’t make the game better.
