I see another one branded by XCOM.

I find the XCOM comparisons funny because the game actually tilts the RNG in the player's favor and people still think it's unfair

Jup! I think in the highest difficulty they actually have the correct percentages implemented.

I don't think it's unfair, it's just that being one square away with 99% accuracy missing always feels like bullshit, regardless of whatever explanation you give.
