More information.

A quick summary of any review vid posted could be a benefitial addition.

Skipped through the vid, not enough to fail to notice that the review speaks of tactics, states about soloing bits and collective bits, failed to illustrate any coordinated bit while showing a lot to support the soloing bits.

From the vid, the product is closer to an ekko or that resident evil when characters are activated sequentially to solve puzzles rather than something tactics.

Nothing could be further from the truth. You often have to examine the scenario carefully, plan ahead and combine, simultaneously, you characters' personal talents. Some situations are pretty much impossible to overcome without creativity and clever use of two or three characters in tandem.

A video?
Good luck to everyone who'll watch it, I don't have time to waste.

I prefer written reviews, but actually looked at this entire video. Generally, I like it, I'll probably buy this one.

Stumbled across this on Steam a few days ago as it was highlighted on the front page of the store with a 10% discount. Clicked on the link and saw they have demo, which is a great way to check out the game. Played thru first two scenarios and I liked it a lot. The best description I found (which I will pass along) is "A 2016 re-imagining of the 1998 classic Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines." That is dead on in my opinion. I remembered playing that one on my old PC back in the day and it brought back good memories.

Might be the case. It is not shown in the vid though.

Agreed, he mentioned it but never actually showed a situation where it was required.
