Xcom 2 has been on my list for years... hit 97% in this sale, figured it's finally time.
I recommend getting the bundle with all the DLC, slightly more expensive but very worth it esp. for the big content expansion War of the chosen.
That's the one!
$3.88, only about $0.50 more than just the standalone game. If the reviews are any indication, this is a damn steal!
Holy smokes what an incredible deal. I loved the first XCOM (which I believe is actually a remake). Gonna have to pull the trigger
It's a reboot, yeah. It's quite different from the originals. Xenonauts is the spiritual successor to classic XCOM, and 2 is 30% off, but incomplete in early access right now.
I would say that's a steal. I love that game, it has tons of replay ability, and a huge modding community.
I envy you greatly right now, you're about to embark on a beautiful journey. Xcom2 is one of my favorites, especially once mods factor in, of which there are thousands covering so many franchises and ideas you can't possibly play them all.
I wish you nothing but an excellent time and lots of dead aliens.
If you don't get War of the Chosen then you will be missing out on one of my most played games of all time.
There is an XCom joke in there: 97% to hit... and you missed.
Xenonauts 2 is 30% off also. It's a modern version of classic X-COM, which is quite different from modern XCOM. It's still in early access, but it's very good. I've done one playthrough (to the end of what was available) and I'm waiting for release to do another. It's much better than what XCOM has become in my opinion though.
