Where XCOM 2 can feel drawn out, like it's making me walk from cover to cover just to tempt me into doing something risky, every encounter in Chimera Squad is so constrained it has all the tension of a knife fight in a public toilet. Between the powerful abilities and gear you end up with and the limited number of enemies, it'd be too easy to wipe the floor in a single turn. I don't understand the idea that banter is a modern phenomenon that has only existed since The Avengers—the snappy patter of Chimera Squad is right out of a screwball comedy or hardboiled crime story.
