Well, the ending of XCOM was a disappointment after an otherwise pretty decent game.
I think the lore an such were interesting enough but the whole level was just a shooting gallery. Every encounter was just a few enemies of a single type in a really uninteresting, cramped space. This would be fine if it were just warm up for a really awesome end boss but it was just another handful of normal duders and one slightly upgraded guy. One rocket weakened the most of the normal enemies and some assaults picked off the rest. The boss hid behind a corner but my sniper waltzed up and Double Tap'd him in the face for an easy kill. Really I was expecting a little more; like some sort of giant laser squid or a mech or even just a twist on the environment.

I think they had to shoehorn in a sequel hook at the last minute and the Temple Ship really suffered because of that. Just a load of exposition whilst wandering through a pretty linear map.
