GodisaGeek: "The scope of Enemy Unknown is huge, I wouldn’t even like to guess at how many hours it’d take to see everything on offer, and the execution is beautiful too. The genre may be crowded, but you really ought to be paying attention to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, as it really does feel like something rather special. Only time will tell if it can break through on home consoles, but it is already shaping up to be a superb title. The Daddy of strategy games is back and it is incredibly addictive."
XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.
Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.
There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
Some games age better than others. When a game is getting on in years, mods can help give the game a little push and make it worth playing again.
