#MiniReview #VideoGames Big fan of the XCOM series, I really wanted to like The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. A story, named characters, and a chance to visit XCOM facilities from the inside, all sounded great to me! Unfortunately, the combat gameplay didn't do it for me. Most of my character deaths were due to fumbling with the cover system, and the tactical slowdown to give orders to the two squad mates ended up being rarely effective while being detracting from the action.
