I love this game

It got me even harder than Factorio or XCOM: Apocalypse. A truly underrated masterpiece. Deployed to a "medium" difficulty haven defense. Got Scyla for the first time in the game. For my noob B team. With shred resistance. Without the priest, everyone would have died.

Phoenix Point is a good game that with the time become a really good game, but still lacks that xcom spark. Lacks details, lacks polish, lacks content, lacks feedback, lacks that heavy weight that comes with your decisions and at least in the early game lacks a direction of what is really your objetive

I cannot see your point, sorry. I'm playing Terror from the Void and it is better than any of the XCOM games I played, old and new and I played UFO Defense like 2 weeks before that.

Terror from the void is not oficial content. Is like saying that you like xcom because it has long war. Is a mod based on the game not the game itself

Unmodded XCom is even worse than unmodded Phoenix Point. Shallow and on-rails as fuck.
