I think it is very well put together. Obviously, it isn't XCOM, and I am disappointed in the lack of a multiplayer option (which was one of my hurdles to get over when considering a 60 dollar price point). That being said I am having an enormous amount of fun. It allows for a little breathing room which is nice as most XCOM-esque games punish you very heavily for mistakes, but, with passive abilities and some strategic thought these missions are completed and enjoyed. All in all, if you like gears, and you like the turn-based genre this is an excellent pick with a lot of potential for upcoming DLC
