Not really sure why I wasnt impressed. It should be a much better game than the earlier XCOM´s, but it isnt. Apoc is still my favourite XCOM game.

Because Aftermath is missing the entire climb ladders/stairs and go inside buildings aspect that made the X-COM battles so interesting. Plus it lacks the economic side of the game. No base construction & layout. It's just research and 2D fighting. What it does, it does better. Problem is that it doesn't do as much as the orginal games did. So it leaves a lot of people unsatisified. You don't get enough of that "being in control" feeling.
