It’s only going to go downhill from here. On a more serious note, the game does indeed become much easier a few hours in. Haven’t lost a single soldier or objective after the first ten missions on veteran difficulty.

Once I got past that initial zone of ignorance (well, unintuitive mechanics) and weakness, it’s become absolutely amazing.
