XCOM2 Lite.

It's good, has some unique things going for it (breach mechanic most notably).
Unfortunately budget and scope constraints do show here:
- EDIT: mostly patched: random bugs and glitches
- comic style cut-scenes (I don't really mind these, the XCOM2 ones weren't much too impressive)
- plenty of recycled elements (android hacking animation for example)
- technically shallow alien voice work (can't tell viper's and human voices apart, really needs some filters and distortion)
- the story is serviceable, thought more world-building is appreciated
... oh, it does cost less than a fully-fledged title though..

Regardless of all that, the game retains the same XCOM thrills and is quite enjoyable too play!
