It's good, like really really good and insanely fun, but it gets really annoying because of two fundamentally frustrating mechanics that my mutuals here pinpointed in their reviews:

1. Blue movement + Overwatch meta makes every match feel exhausting and boring, because of how passive it is. Alternative to that is just rushing into enemy territory and dying in next turn, which is even worse.
2. You're borderline unable to ambush the enemies, because they insantly get a turn to reposition themselves, while doing absolutely nothing until that

Because of that at some point missions become an obtuse chore that stand in your way of waiting for new upgrades. Game's good, it's just really easy to lose interest in it.

Update: I, indeed, habe lost interest in it.

Strongly recommend XCOM 2 if you like the core conceit but hate Overwatch meta and the lack of ambushes, because that game went out of its way to ensure you don't just OW creep.
