I have an extreme love/hate relationship with this game. On one hand I enjoy the challenging, tactical gameplay and love both the perma-death and character creator which adds a nice personal touch, but the RNG is notorious for a reason and missing your attacks point-blank with a 90% accuracy rate is only funny so many times before it just becomes annoying and obnoxious, plus as others have already mentioned the difficulty spikes in missions and endgame is ridiculous as well.

Overall still a great game and a lot of fun if you're a masochist, but too many annoying mechanics that keep it from being the masterpiece it could've been. Still the best XCOM game though as far as I am concerned.
