    Thread necro alert!

    In case anyone missed it, this game released a few days ago. Not a good time to release, given the overshadowing Steam sale. Nevertheless, it's getting positive user and critic reviews on Metacritic.

    It's also available on GoG

    I've been playing it on and off since release and it's a lot of fun. It's like the original X-com, but with better graphics and lots of tweaks to make it less annoying. As much fun as X-com 2012 was, this is the definitive X-com experience.

    Best part of x-com was capturing the weird aliens and dissecting and researching their tech, then using it against them. I also loved the leveling up of your characters, there was always one who would end up being your point man who could really put up a good fight against the aliens. The stress you feel when he/she was in a sticky situation was quite hectic because you know the team would almost fall apart without them.

    I remember getting quite attached to characters and if they were killed thats it, no getting them back. You'd have to recruit more volunteers and train them up all over again.
