"All in all, XCOM Enemy Unknown will have you feeling overjoyed and upset all at once, but that’s the beauty of it."
In this opinion piece, Gamespresso's Steve takes a look back at the brilliant but brutal XCOM Enemy Unknown. What did you think of the game? Are you excited for XCOM 2?
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.
yes good game But!! there was allot missing Xcom from the original games witch I still play today, unable to throw equipment to other solders or swap weapons, multiple bases, pick up alien weapons to keep, sell and research,kneel down making them more accurate.
