The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

Pros : -OK Story Line -Good Graphic Cons : -Non So Far

This game has been in my library for a really long time because I love X-Com games. But I was always put off by the fact that it wasn’t quite that. I just checked it out. It was a waste of time... The biggest problem is that this game appears to be an X-Com game with a pretty good story, but it isn’t turn-based—it’s a hybrid of a third-person shooter and a turn-based game. The boss fights are annoying, the levels are basically ugly, and the essence of X-Com is missing from the game. I started on Veteran difficulty—that was a mistake—then switched to the easiest setting, but it was so boring. The second difficulty level might have been enjoyable if I’d been able to improve. I couldn’t coordinate my team—the squad members are dumb; they get themselves killed; basically, they just follow along mindlessly. The abilities aren’t very good, and using them is repetitive, but by the time I got anywhere, the boss would show up and kill my character. I don’t think this is a game you can play for years—at most, if you play on the basic difficulty and are interested in the story, which isn’t that bad, but I think it’s better to just watch the gameplay videos on YouTube.

Interface mess between game pad an keyboard, uninstalled.too bad:-(

Absolutely worthless game - after about 20 crashes and various fixes, the game still doesn't want to work properly. I might've tried a couple more times if not for the fact that the intro credits are unskippable and all the menus are terribly coded.

It’s a relatively old game, so the gameplay and graphics reflect that. I owned it on the Xbox 360 back in the day, and when I saw it here on Steam, I decided to grab it. I hadn't actually finished it back then. I probably only played it for about three hours and never went back to it. I have no idea why, though I really should have. It’s quite entertaining but it might not be a massive blockbuster, but it’s definitely fun. I picked it up for 10 euros including all the DLC, and it was well worth it. (If anyone is having crashing issues, stick to the default setting when launching instead of choosing dx11. that solved the problem for me, at least.)

good game
