    Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition is a fantastic turn-based strategy game. Its unrivaled world-building and innovative combat make this a must-play for fans of the genre. If you can overcome the lack of variety in the early game, then be prepared to lose hours upon hours as you race to save humanity from complete obliteration.

    It definitely has its issues but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition. From its clever battle mechanics to its depiction of a world at the brink of utter annihilation; it's one immersive and exceptionally rewarding SRPG.

    An SRPG big hitter just got bigger, but did it get better? If you are up to the challenge, this is the best the genre has to offer on PS4.

    Phoenix Point manages to blend the very numbers-based approach of classic X-Com with some of modern XCOM’s streamlining. The result is a colossal, cavernous tactical strategy game that struggles to hold its shape at times. Its wealth of information and systems requires patience, but if you can persevere, it’s very much worth the time.

    As a big fan of Xcom, and after playing over 50 hours Pheonix Point here's my review:

    1. The idea is great indeed and promises a lot but    As a big fan of Xcom, and after playing over 50 hours Pheonix Point here's my review:

    1. The idea is great indeed and promises a lot but delivers very little.

    2. The game is very unbalanced and after playing for a few hour, fights are not fun at all but rather repetitive and annoying.

    3. The resources are TOOOOO scarce and super annoying. You don't feel like making any developments. Scavenging missions are so not worth it: spending an hour of a boring fight for very little amount of resources.

    4. There are no useful and cool research development for guns and armors.

    5. I see no point in air fight! Super boring and just based on chance.

    6. Armoured vehicles are totally useless!

    7. Every action and development is so expensive and doesn't really make that much difference.

    8. Soldiers are the wose. You technically just need snipers!

    9. When Pandorans are going to attack your base with thousands worth of facilities you should receive A BIG NOTIFUATION but instead there's just a small note on the top right corner which it's highly likely to be missed!

    10. There's no defence system for bases!! How's that possible??????

    Overall, the game is so annoying and lot fun at all.    … Full Review »

    Я так и не смог оценить игру, вылеты каждые 2 миссии, а иногда и при сохранении.
