I don't think Jimmy Maher, author of the linked article, said he preferred TFTD. "Unfortunately, Terror from the Deep does little to correct the original’s problems; if anything, it makes them worse. Most notably, it’s an even more difficult game than its predecessor, a decision that’s hard to understand on any level. Was anyone really complaining that X-COM was too easy? All in all, Terror from the Deep is exactly the unimaginative quickie sequel which the Gollops weren’t excited about having to make. Nevertheless, it’s arguably the best of the _post-original_, pre-reboot generation of X-COM games." Emphasis added
