So I just got Xenonauts, it was a freebie. Have to say, compared to my only reference X-Com Apocalypse (which I mainly got because I got gifted it long ago on CD and couldn't get it to run back then) it's a lot more welcoming. I got my ass kicked by hidden monsters in a corner one square away killing my soldiers, but at least the interface is not overwhelming and there's less of a "what the hell am I doing here" factor. And of course I very much approve of giveaways. It's an obvious marketing play for Xenonauts 2 but it's a consumer friendly advertising tactic rather than the usual bullshit barrage that's advertising (sorry, games journalism).
