XCom 2 is a TBS masterpiece. That said, all the XCom games do need a bit more "readibility", in terms of when you're in range, cover advantages, when walls actually protect/cloak you, enemy ability/shot range, etc. You get used to it after playing the series after a while (almost all cover is just that, cover, and it's pretty hard to be untargetable in the game, etc.). At the very least, they should borrow from the Fire Emblem series, and allow you to backtrack your movement in order to see what the best shot you can get is, and how vulnerable this leaves you to an enemy. What likely happened to you is you moved into an area that had an unfavorable angle on how the enemy was covered.

That said, the XCom2 DLC makes the game such an ass-kicking of a good time. Had a level with one of the super-mutant things and a Chosen, and a super tough boss. My elite squad barely made it through it.
