I enjoyed reading this, since I've spent a lot of time on 3 out of 4 of these (haven't looked at Chimaera Squad yet).

I think Phoenix Point's got the most potential out of the four games – I played a ton of it in the earlier part of this year. It's got some issues that need work, though, and the new Legacy of the Ancients expansion was a big disappointment. I'm hoping that they keep on improving it, because if they fix its issues it could be something really special.

Currently playing Gears Tactics, and it does some things really well – the action system is nice, and the skill and level system is amazing (I love the skill trees for the classes). But the micro-management and UI for equipment is awful, and in the long run I've got the feeling that the lack of a strategy layer will hurt replayability – I can't really see myself playing through the game again once I've seen all of the story.
