I'm having a ton of fun in XCOM 2, but...

It's no Long War.
The game is a lot of fun, and I haven't finished the campaign yet, but I've definitely come up with a routine way to do each of the maps. While I'm pleasantly surprised at times (the Avatar was a fun one... I popped it the first time in the middle of a mission; it took control of my best sniper, who proceeded to wipe out everyone but my Ranger - and she only escaped by killing her best friend & evacing out), but, in general, it seems like this is a step back into the kiddie pool. I haven't had a "that's XCOM, baby!" moment yet; maybe I will at harder difficulties...but still...
It's a testament to just how good a game Long War is, how deep the system goes and how masterfully wrought it is. Thanks for creating it!
