For anyone wondering, this game still works on a modern PC. The game is pretty fantastic, if you like Men In Black, games set in old fashioned times. Excellent world building and story. Don't compare it to XCOM, it's not even the same game type. EDIT: I lied, it can still crash a fair amount for an old game. But at least it runs. It's a valuable game to experience though

This is a dated but somewhat fun 3rd person shooter. The 1960s alien invasion aesthetic is always fun, however, this is definitely a failed attempt at capitalizing on XCOMs name. I enjoyed the story enough and the missions were very straight forward but there were enough abilities with the squad mates that it made the combat fun. Get this on a sale or not at all.

X-COM built around Mass Effect's combat system. This is the game for those of you that bitch about missing your squad shots all the time in regular X-COM. If you miss here, its not the RNG's fault, you have only yourself to blame. Good Hunting Squadie

July 2024

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is an interesting hybrid between a traditional third-person shooter and a strategic game, with elements of role-playing game; but the impression is a game crippled by a troubled production. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3297704836

This game... is okayish? There is nothing terribly wrong with it. It's just the gameplay itself is becoming a bit repetitive, the main character's voice becomes annoying and the plot is a bit silly... But just not enough for me to say it's bad. This game definitely misses the research part of any XCOM game. But it's kinda ok... You see the world through the eyes of one of the lead operatives so you don't make calls on future development + the game has a plot so I think that's fine. And yet there is nothing great about this game. Sure it looks good. This combination of retro-futurism and modern day science fiction set in the 1960's is cool. And the squad control mechanics are cool too. But something always feels a bit off... So even though there is nothing terrible with the game there is nothing really great about the game. It's just "ok". But since I did enjoy playing the most of it - this is going to be a positive review.
