great deal if you like turn based strategy games. I found the gameplay loop to be super satisfying when you understand all the mechanics, just be prepared to lose a few times

Saw this recently on Sale... decided to get the Gears: Tactics (also turn based). The cut scenes and even the game (Gears: Tactics) to a point, look fantastic for an older game! (settings on 4K)

I think XCom is also 5-6 years old, but looks like a great one to sink a lot of hours into.

I liked XCOM 2 a lot. It's 7 years old now, but there aren't a ton of tactical turn-based games that come out each year. This is really meant to be a PC game and while I'm sure it's playable on console, PC is the platform you should aim for.

If you already know that you're going to like this game, then I would recommend the complete edition with the extra DLC. It lengthens the campaign a bit and adds a little more depth. Unfortunately, the expansions/DLC also add some bloat, which distracts from the main story arc. I found this a little disappointing in comparison with XCOM 1.

If you're a Game Pass subscriber, maybe give it another 6 months or so. Given that Civ 6 (same developer/publisher) just came to Game Pass, I wouldn't be surprised if the XCom games land there soon too. Also, check out Gears Tactics, which feels very similar to XCOM 2 and is a good game in its own right.

You would cheat yourself if you do not get the expansion War of the Chosen , unfortunately, it is not part of the sale.

It's fantastic, but be sure to buy Enemy within. It's the same game as Enemy unknown but adds mechs.

It was pretty much unanimous game of the year (the year telltale walking dead was released). I'm certain it holds up well.

I got this for Christmas bundled with many Steam games as a Christmas gift. Very fun game and it plays well on Linux too. Good gameplay and good graphics.
