This was my game of choice for 2022. Based on the number of XCOM-like games I played since, it's also one of my favorite formats.
The experience is ever the same. Expect to start 10 playthroughs by the time you get the hang of it and your guys survive more than a couple of missions. It's draining and agonizing, in the best possible way. What better testament, than the fact that I played through XCOM 2, and then through its expansion, War of the Chosen, as well as all mini-missions available.
I simply loved the character builder. I made characters of all my friends, D&D and Warhammer mates, and more. I was invested in them. I cried whenever a grenade made a floor collapse, instantly killing 3 guys. I cheered when taking down huge enemies.
I don't know what else to say, other than, this is one of my favorite games, and the one I re-played the most in recent memory, alongside Medieval 2 Total War.
