    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.    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.    … Expand

    I am very disappointed by this version. Here are my gripes.
    1. Crashes way too much.
    2. Tactical nonsense. For instance, an enemy cannot be seen by standing directly below your units if yours are on a higher level. Bears no relation to reality and was evidently coded by a fool. Players units can look round corners but not over ledges? Sack whoever did this. 3. Psychic warfare? Give us    I am very disappointed by this version. Here are my gripes.

    3. Psychic warfare? Give us a rest. Leave it out. Its bollocks.
    4. The air to air combat is the most ridiculous, childish, space invaders nonsense. Again, who thought this would be a good idea? Its poorly thought out rubbish.
    5. The politics are half baked nonsense culled from any half dozen pulp sci fi novels. Come up with something original for goodness sake.
    Good bits.
    1. Tactical movement and firing are more flexible.
    Overall? Wait till you can get it for a fiver.    … Expand

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

    Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition offers the same wealth of content available on the PC, and the controller support is good enough for those willing to overlook some fiddly inventory and menu management. However, the technical performance is far beneath what it should be, so your best bet is to wait for the promised patches to arrive, or simply enjoy a smoother ride on PC if you can.

    Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition is a solid turn-based strategy game, which in this version can count on the addition of four DLCs that further increase the contents and therefore the duration of the experience. However, controls can be very tricky and cumbersome on console, while loading times are pretty long.

    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.
