The constant animation delay on every action ruined it for me, but there's probably mods that change that.

They patched in a setting that cuts a lot of that down

That's good. I wouldn't be surprised if like 10-20% of the mission time was me waiting for my dudes to finish animating.

Most of the improvements were good, but it still felt like the map decisions typically had one optimal choice, the UI still don't make it clear enough where you have vision, and it seemed like there existed a difficulty plateau you could reach where you had enough tools to reliably counter anything the aliens threw at you. Maybe I should have played ironman, but I don't feel like doing that with a game that takes 30-40 hours to complete.
