              Excellent point!
              
              And on the flipside, think of System Shock and Bioshock. They both have the same (basic) mechanics and a similar feel, but they are completely different games. Bioshock doesn't quite have the shine and vigor of it's predecessor even though it stayed true (for the most part) to the formula. So it can really go either way.
              
              But I agree, this isn't X-Com. It's not a point of saying the game will be bad, but just that there is no need to slap the name X-Com in front of it.
