Now that 2019 is here, let's look at Wccftech's most anticipated Strategy and Simulation games of 2019, with a host of superb looking titles to look forward to.
From PC Gamer: "X-COM: UFO Defense, known as UFO: Enemy Unknown here in the UK, is an integral part of PC gaming history. It was part of the MicroProse glory days of the mid-'90s, when ground-breaking strategy games were being spat out at an unbelievable rate. It spawned sequels, questionable spin-offs, and multiple successors, spiritual and otherwise. It's an impressive legacy, and for creator Julian Gollop, the X-COM itch "never goes away".
While the X-COM/XCOM series is now 10 games deep, Gollop was only responsible for the original and Apocalypse, the third game. Of course, none of them would have existed without him, his brother Nick, and the tiny team of artists that built the game that started it all. And now you can't fire up a store like Steam or Epic without seeing countless turn-based strategy and tactics romps, many of them capitalising on the success of Firaxis's XCOM. "
Playing Expeditions Rome right now and it scratches the XCOM itch in a different way
tried phoenix point on ps4 and enjoyed it when it worked.....constant crashing (every 2-3 missions) and bugs meant i ditched it pretty quick....gave it another whirl on ps5 when they released the ps5 update and unfortunately nothing was fixed so dont think ill ever touch that again
I had issue day one also planned on going back to it after some updates. Pretty sad to here its still broke.
Since playing xcom on ps3 and xcom 2 on ps4 they are in my top. A couole of games i really go back to and play almost yearly. I loved everything about them except the loading took forever lol. Im still hoping we get the spinoff that was done and is only out for pc.
I know the next xcom will not disappoint even if i wait for goty edition cause they always have pretty good dlc. I remember getting part 2 day one and then selling it and waiting for the goty i cant say enough about it if you cant tell.
I never did get to play xcom declassified i think it was called. Maybe itll end up on ps plus or gamepass so i can finally play it.
From Xbox Wire: "I know, June has been a wild month so far already (this is my subtle plug to check out everything announced at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase). Act surprised, but we’re not done yet. We’re closing out the month with more games you can look forward to very soon (some very, very soon, as in available today!)."
Looking forward to playing Far Cry 5, I have not played that one yet. I have to say I really enjoy GamePass, a wide variety of games especially with the EA Play stuff. I find myself trying all sorts of games I never have played before. I enjoy the cloud aspect so I don't have to download it then figure out I don't like it and delete it. Worth every penny in my opinion.
Nice. Thought it was cool Gamepass was getting the remasters of the Shadowrun trilogy, but Farcry 5 is also a good one.
Personal favorite of the series, but only have it on PC.
Some excellent additions to GP and just in time since I just finished Elden Ring.
Naraka looks extremely fun and then there's Far Cry 5, good job GP
FC5 I’ll have to play - it’s been on my backlog for a while and I just never got around to buying it. Looks pretty fun from watching YT plays.
It’s my favorite Far Cry so I hope you enjoy it too. It’s full of little Americana jokes and satires that might go over one’s head if they weren’t an American or a Canadian rancher. Great fun though! Gameplay, setting, and music really fit the tone well
Ace said: With a game mechanics that is highly similar to XCOM, many might say that this is a poor man’s XCOM.
