Xbox One Playstation 4 Xbox Series X

Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition is an immersive and innovative turn-based strategy game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Its faction system profoundly impacts both the narrative and gameplay, and the world-building is phenomenal. The combat innovations, with firing weapons and action points, offer thrilling experiences. However, the lack of class diversity in the early game can be overcome by racing to save humanity from complete obliteration. If you're a hardcore strategic and XCOM fan, Phoenix Point is a game worth the effort.


What we like:
  • Innovative combat
  • Phenomenal world-building
  • Immersive turn-based strategy
  • Diverse factions
  • Rewarding experimentation
What could be improved:
  • Lack of class diversity
  • Overwhelming amount of content
  • Uneven campaign at some points
  • Super long load times
  • Occasional stuttering
