Is it weird I fucking hate the ADVENT retaliation missions in X-COM 2. The first one especially. Like, I like attacking and having this clockwork trap fall into place and having these tense moments in extraction where you're not sure if someone's gonna make it and you might lose a trooper or a trooper might get knocked out before extraction or the VIP might die and any mission with some element of defence. But retaliation just feels scary to me, the prospect of losing the level and some troopers as well as some bigger bastard enemies is just fucking terrifying along with the fact that none of my tactics can work in time to secure an area and save the hostages AND keep my own troopers on the field for the next civilian. I'm probably just scared of doing the mission but... I really hate the retaliation missions.
