Enemies that in theory should be a big boss type enemy is actually much easier to deal with than mid-boss type enemies. The level 3 base can be cleared in one turn but you have to be both good and a bit lucky. The level 4 base in many cases can be cleared in just one or two turns with minimal effort. the Level 2 & 3 procedurally generated enemy base is actually a lot harder/time consuming than the level 4 base. Because of the aforementioned OP-ness of certain things the balance can be a bit out of whack e.g.when you click on a destination the game immediately unpauses which is annoying when you need to move 3-5 different troop transport around ideally it should only unpause when the player unpauses so I can set orders for all my planes and then unpause and they all move at the same time. The way your transport moves is a bit clunky e.g. you only have space in the UI for I think 8 bases but you can actually get 9-10 bases. The game encourages and I would even say requires you to manage and maintain multiple squads (and multiple bases) but there's a lot of clunkyness to it e.g.Story is good enough for this type of game, not particularly memorable but not horrible.Less customisation of soldiers than XCOM2.If you savescum to do much better than your skill level actually allows, the game will overestimate you and at one point you will run into a wall that will seriously screw you over and probably cause a squadwipe. I imagine the original intention is to make the game more engaging by adjusting difficulty to player skill, but in many ways is somewhat of an anti-savescum feature. The game is designed to scale mission up and down based on how well/badly you did in previous missions.In a weird way as much as XCOM 2 soldiers become unbeatable superhumans in late game, the soldiers in PP can become unbeatable superhumans much earlier than that.If you understand the mechanics well this can make for some really OP combinations and tactics.

More interesting shooting mechanic with manual aiming and bullet trajectories.Bear in mind I haven't played it for a while now so some things may have changed due to patches or DLC. It's a solid game, I like a lot of the mechanics, but I find that XCOM2 still captures my attention more. Like I said, Phoenix Point is not a bad game, but if you enjoyed XCOM 2, I wouldn't count on enjoying it. I shot too many walls while aiming at what should have been a clean shot, which I guess isn't any worse than missing a 99% shot in XCOM but certainly feels more frustrating. Manual aiming was kind of interesting, but it isn't precise enough for me to really trust it. I say that as someone who felt the streamlining was one of the best improvements over the old games in the new XCOM games, though, so I definitely wasn't the target audience for this approach.ДЄlso, while the writing in XCOM isn't going to dethrone Shakespeare or anything, I thought it had a lot more charm and personality than what there was in Phoenix Point. If you felt that ammunition management and the like was too streamlined in the XCOM games, you might like Phoenix Point, but I felt like it was just adding complexity for the sake of adding complexity instead of adding complexity to make the simulation more engaging. They really tried to capture all of the granual detail and complexity from the original games, for better or for worse. I can't call it a bad game, but IMO it's no XCOM:EU or XCOM2.
