Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition

The incredibly detailed combat, deep strategic layer, living world, and immense variety didn’t just fill the void in my heart left by the absence of X-COM 3, it replaced it entirely.

Phoenix Point is an excellent retainer for fans of turn-based strategy games. Despite being a style that doesn't have a wide range of connoisseurs, it is still well defined in all aspects and with a deep strategic system to be considered by those who want to try it. The flaws noted do not leave negative feelings that prevent us from enjoying this title. If you want to try the genre, here without a doubt is an excellent option. For fans, including those who have probably played the X-COM titles, they won't feel that it's a copy. Certainly with some similarities, it's true, but with quite a different feeling.

Phoenix Point can be hard to even start up on the PlayStation, but there is still the potential of enjoying the game for how the story plays out. In the future, I hope that many of the bugs for Phoenix Point on the PlayStation 4 are fixed.

The changes that have been to the formula that was created for XCOM are welcome ones, and hopefully this isn’t just a one-off adventure into this universe.

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.

‎I had been waiting for a long time for the launch of Phoenix Point on Xbox, and as I said at the beginning of this analysis, the wait has been worth it. ‎‎Phoenix Point is everything we could expect from a new installment of the mythical X-COM saga, the‎‎ only thing that instead of being called X-COM 3, is called Phoenix Point.‎

Phoenix Point is a good game, but marked by a series of issues that truly limit its quality. The technical issues make it so even the most hardcore fan has a hard time enjoying the many good ideas it has.

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.

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.

A worthy successor to XCOM, Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition is an ideal game for those who are looking for a complex turn-based strategy title. It may be difficult, but it is a completely immersive experience.
