Not really. In most games, when you start you can finish the game even if you screw up in a few places. In Xcom, if you screw up you will be f***ed. And once you are f***ed you will need to start a new game as you won't be able to beat it.
Wow a positive review! I think zero puncutaion's are hilarious, but they're always negative or at least gives that impression regardless of weather he was in favor of the game or not, good to see one that finally was clearly liked.
