There's no tension, no mystery, yet there are inexplicably massive amounts of time where you'll encounter NO enemies whatsoever! The most ridiculous example of this happens during the assault on Axis' tower when there are literally zero enemy troops for minutes at a time. Everytime you jump down a hole or off a ledge you just make ready and prepare for another fire fight. We never got tired of the same gas station or warehouses in EU did we?!Ī further insult, particularly in the major ops, was the continuous barrage of 'no turning back' drops and doors that sealed you into just pressing forward. Same goes for other missions, an American town in the 60s is basically an American town in the 60s. We could have had two or three different UFOs which cycled through a handful of docking or landing stations and then given them one of several mission objectives to provide dozens of extra missions. As we learned from XCom 2012, UFO missions don't even really need a landscape to play on, they still work. Why not spread out the main missions as opposed to having them come literally one after another without respite? Why make all the minor operations so scripted and linear when they could have been partially randomised variations based on a pre-determined set of mission types? Why not let us investigate landed UFOs that could be delivering equipment, sowing 'seeds' or any amount of other nefarious deeds. The Bureau would have felt a whole lot more like a REAL X-Com game if they'd added some length, some meat to it's bare bones. Where were the UFOs? Where were all the other teams? The other missions? All the story boils down to in the end is Carter (sort of) saving the world single-handedly while the rest of the bureau sits on its ass doing nothing. I rather enjoyed the Minor Operations as they seemed more familiar to me than the long ass main missions but the fact that all of it was so linear and scripted just made it feel like any other shooter (regardless of the tactical capabilities). You can't just attend a dozen missions and save the planet, it just doesn't work that way. If we know anything about X-Com games it's that success demands a serious time commitment on the players part. Well it is! It probably took me longer to write that statement 3 times than it did to complete one of the minor operations! Ok, maybe not but seriously. This game is pretty short and entirely linear. I guess we could start with the game being quite short and entirely linear? So where to start? Seems like there's quite a lot of ground to cover here despite the game being pretty short and entirely linear. Know finally this, I'm going to do a lot of whining here but I'd like to hear other opinions whether they concur with mine or not so please chime in with your time in the Bureau! Know also this, I actually kinda liked it. Know this, spoilers will inevitably follow. Today I finished it and polished off 33 of the 41 steam achievements, all that are possible without the DLC (and winning on Commander) and of course I couldn't help but coming here and dissecting my experience with it. On a recent day trip that just happened to take me near enough a 'Game' store for me to be inexplicably drawn inside, I picked up a copy of The Bureau. The following items are required before room placement is valid.Greetings Strategy Core, I trust you are well? As with the room itself, these upgrades must be researched.Ī Doctor will be required to run the room, who can be most suitably trained with the Radiology Qualification (for a 20% diagnostic boost in this room), and Diagnostics Qualifications thereafter.
The X-ray Machine has two upgrades available, these are detailed on its page. The patient then leaves the room with their diagnosis boosted, the patient will either be directed back to the GP, or, if they have passed the diagnosis threshold, sent for treatment. The doctor speaks over the microphone and pulls the red lever back to its original position.
After their visit with a GP, patients may stop at this clinic where a doctor will examine them.
