XCOM: Terror from the Deep is basically the same game as XCOM: Enemy Unknown, only much harder and with different graphics and assets. They clearly didn't want to mess with a winning formula when they made the sequel. But, like, it's really hard. I very seldom survive past my first few missions before giving in up frustration.

And yet... I prefer it. It's better, somehow. The underwater aspect, starting with those retro diving suits that your aquanauts wear into battle, the coral reefs and cthulu-esque monsters... I guess I've always liked the aesthetic of nautical horror, with the ships and the mysterious depths and all that.

 @8b6472f9 I love how the original X-Com had the bug where it reverted to Easy after the first Battlescape, so everyone thought it was "too easy" not realising they were playing on lowest difficulty. For TFTD they ramped up the difficulty, and golly was it harder lol
