Set in 1983 during the Cold War, Phantom Doctrine is an alternate history thriller in which players lead The Cabal, a secret organization dedicated to fighting a global conspiracy committed to controlling the world by pitting world leaders and nations against one another. Deception is the great equalizer as players will have to operate from the shadows to exploit every vulnerability - ruthlessly interrogate and brainwash enemies and allies alike to create double agents, saboteurs or unwitting collaborators. Develop and defend your base of operations, recruit agents from the world’s many factions, and research new tech to give your operatives the advantage. Campaign missions deliver sprawling tactical encounters that revolve around two key pillars: stealth and explosive, all-out attacks. Your team of operatives can be deployed into the field either fully armed or disguised as civilians, allowing them to infiltrate dangerous areas undetected at the expense of heavy weapons and armor. Decode and analyze your way through immersive investigations to expose far-reaching conspiracies and elusive targets. Delve into the oppressive dark corners of the volatile 1980s with atmospheric visuals and an unnerving soundtrack by award-winning composer Marcin Przybylowicz of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt fame.

That's the best game about Mossad operations ever. It gets so many things right: the narative, the athmosphere, the preparation for missions and disguises. Sniper support is one of the most interesting features in years.
Also, the weapons are great, true to the era. A bit sad they didn't add more historical facts about them, though. Like the Gyrojet pistol, …

Yes, it can be a bit repetitive, and I wish there was a "quick extraction" option if you didn't trigger any alarms. Still, an amazing game.

I can't decide if i like this or not. In the beginning this game really rubbed me wrong, but I read a lot on it and It's taken me a while to get the hang of how it works and now that I got an understanding of the mechanics i'm having more fun, its a very dry game though, but it definitely hits some of the strategic switches though that are wired into my compulsive/OCD complex. There are some odd things in this game that are kinda unique and novelties in the genre. (Like... recurring battles with enemy agent personnels. in this game you are the alien and you abduct THEM. And you do various little alien experiment things then bring them back into the wild, lol.)

It flourishes a lot of nice little details here and there but the underlying design is a bit flawed in some ways, and there are some things that feel half baked. This game still needs work.
