Game's sick. Oozes character. It's fast and can be played in a day, but out of a two-person team, feels great. Love the polish that's there, even if it needs more.

Xenonauts is an echo from a time when XCOM was X-Com.

What makes the game good is not that it hails from X-Com, but rather adds a new life to the game, further expanding on what makes X-Com good.

For one, the game's updated graphics allows for the concept of cover to now be a thing, rather than hoping that this wall is going to save me.

Secondly, the game adds in different weapons to help breach those pesky UFO doors and not get mowed down in the process.

Third, the game does not shaft newer players in the first month, rather, it shafts players in a long, drawn-out, painful fashion.

If you want to play X-Com, but don't feel like running DOSbox to play it, or want to see what it'd look like with a updated graphical engine, this game is for you.

Early Access Review
I'm starting to really get the hang of this game. It's beautiful, fun and feels like I literally have to CLAW for mid-pack. This is what I imagine a rally game should be.

Monte Carlo's icy turns are horrifying, Wales is clusterphobic, Germany is unforgiving, Greece is brutal and Finland is deceivingly difficult.

Even the cars are difficult to master. As I type this on the 2nd of November, I gave the new Lancer a shot. Suffice to say, I couldn't control the sheer power of the veichle.

In speaking of control, the team is very good about being able to make adjustments on the cars, from transmission type to your ABS/STC to your brake bias. The game is deliciously complex in helping everyone find their right playstyle.

I've been playing it when I get the time between my busy schedule and sleep, and I just can't help but to love it. Get the game as soon as you are financially able to so you don't have to pay more down the road.

I came from playing the original Ridge Racers. The games were fast-paced, joyous, and celebrated the mechanical marvel of the automobile.

Unbounded disagrees. The game takes place in Shatter City, where for some reason, people live oppressed or something. The story of fighting the system through vehicular mayhem just kinda feels silly to me. It's like the game treats cars as a way to complete its objective, rather than celebrating racing.

And that's disappointing. While it is alright, I can't say in good confidence that I'd reccommend this as a Ridge Racer game. Maybe a new Burnout title or a Flatout title, or even its own IP. But this is not Ridge Racer.

Pretty solid detective game. Enjoy some good investigation, classic FMV and one-liners.
