I did get one game in the Steam sale but this one has been on my list of
I should probably play sometime and at £1.74, well why not now. I
haven't played more than a couple of missions but so far seems like good
solid XCOM fun and it's seriously can one of you at least hit the
target*. Hopefully the whole base building part won't be as distracting
as I found it in XCOM:1 although I do realise it wouldn't be a XCOM game
without it but then you have Laser Squad.

 I think its not so much the RNG as the concealled RNG. It's one thing
when the random numbers say 'you hit' or 'you miss' but when the game
says "99% chance of hit" and then you miss ten shots in a row because
the game didn't show you that there wer -70% penalties... well,
there's something wrong with that.
 I think XCOM2 was more transparent with regards to hit-percentages
than was its predecessor, but it's been a while since I played the
game. But XCOM (2012) was really annoying in that regard.

I can't say I ever noticed it being a problem as having a look online I don't see where the issue is.
