PushStartSelect: "Recently Game Informer has been really good at anticipating their cover stories and online portals for each month. Lately the anticipation was built around Xcom: Enemy Unknown and it is supposedly returning to the roots. However after further looking into it, and a little remembering, I decided to not get my hopes up. "
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.
Well, of course. It's awesome that they're even bothering.
But no one should be under the illusion that a game designed almost 20 years ago will return unchanged.
