I had hopes for Strange Brigade back when it came out, but it's EXACTLY the gameplay of their other titles, EXACTLY the gameplay you describe here.
They manage a diverting couple of hours out of a decent concept and then just hit the repeat button.
I'm a bit frustrated that Rebellion keep putting out games that are so thoroughly bland when they have this vast array of weird and unique IP behind them.
Where's the Strontium Dog RPG? The Sinister Dexter turn-based strategy? The Slaine roguelike? The Rogue Trooper- oh wait, they did that one.
