I didn't find a press forum yet, so I'll post this here instead of Offtopic as this is Xenonauts related.
Finnish game magazine Pelit had a preview of Xenonauts. I translated it below to best of my ability.
Normally I don't follow press so much, however Xenonauts was previewed by Niko Nirvi who is a long time gamer, strategy game fan and has listed original UFO as his favourite game as well as written columns where he has positively compared game mechanics of original UFO to more modern games. Same magazine (08, 2013) also had a six page article about the history of original UFO game as well a two page review of OpenXcom (scrore: 5/5). Given this context I thought it was an interesting preview of Xenonauts.
It is unclear which version he played. Based on the preview I would guess he got the game through Stream and has not been reading these forums.
