Game is way too hard!

If we could have more than just 3 chars, it would be fine but stuck with 3 is bad! I got most of the way through the maps but switched to the phychic guy and he never seems to be able to puppet anyone, always fails...

Bought this game for 8 pounds on G2Play but starting to think xcom was always better.

Really? He's always been really good for me. Focus on taking over weak minded enemies. Butchers are great for that. Not only are they easy to take over, they can do decent damage to their friends. Even if they don't do any damage, they will usually get shot at, saving you from taking fire instead.

Having a well rounded team also helps. Make sure you have a good variety of weapons to chose from. Make sure you pick off as many enemies as you can before dealing with the main force. It's a good investment to level up your stealth weapons first for that reason.

Here's how easy the game actually is.

Don't watch may of them or it will ruin the challenge of understanding and applying info gained from observations.

I completed the game in 25 hours within a 2 day span of buying it. It's not hard if you learn to play.

why is it a waste of money? if those hours are nothing but fun it's well spent money. it's not about length it's about fun. besides "25 hours" means about 2 weeks for me. so it's not over very soon.

It's not a waste of money at all. That is dumb to think a game should last as long as X-COM. Also, I focused on the story. I didn't explore everything and bother to look at every inch of the map.

The game is very hard, but I'm finding a way to struggle through it. That's the thing though, once the struggle becomes too much, the fun is gone.
I am enjoying the game currently, but having no mini map and having to re-walk the numerous focus points on the map to find enemies that are no longer too difficult for me to kill is tedious

You need to sneak around and kill a few at the time. Most fights can't be won going head on in this game.

the game isn't hard at all, it's just heavily unbalanced.

So it's more like it's Unfair than anything due to Developer releasing the game too early.

It's neither of that. While I also struggled at first, because I normally don't play this type of games and I also wanted to brute-force my way through, after I learned how to play it the game was just very enjoyable.

The thing is that the devs had a very distinct playstyle in mind and trying to play it differently will hit you hard (up to the impression that it's unfair). So agreed, that would be something to criticize. And I found the tutorial rather lacking because it doesn't prepare the player for the "real game" (aka bigger groups).

But if you have arranged yourself with the playstyle it's actually really lovely. Also keep in mind you don't have to kill everyone - just sneak through and collect upgrades first, then go back and dispose 'em more easily with your more powerful stuff... works wonders ;)
