When looking at Phoenix Point, saying the game definitely isn’t X-COM might sound ludicrous.
An experience of truly behemoth proportions. The Behemoth Edition drives that point home with the inclusion of several DLCs that can be overwhelming at first but adds undeniable value and enjoyment to the game. Not because Phoenix Point is necessarily better, but because it takes that formula and molds it into a game that is definitely not X-COM, but everything I wanted X-COM to be. In fact, I doubt I can go back to it at all. Well, after playing Phoenix Point, I’m not sure I care about X-COM anymore.
Interested in a video version of this review? Check it out on YouTube! Don’t be fooled by appearances, Phoenix Point makes serious changes to the X-COM formula From the release of Chimera Squad, which carries the X-COM name without anything that makes X-COM great, to the reveal that Marvel’s Midnight Suns “won’t share a single mechanic with X-COM.” I have eagerly awaited even a sliver of news about X-COM 3 and have only been met with disappointment. X-COM 2: War of the Chosen is one of my all-time favorite games. Phoenix Point has some very big shoes to fill.
