XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to XCOM’s mobile headquarters.Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order. XCOM, the planet’s last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. Also the Adelantado trilogy and its newer sequel Romans Britons series, plus Northern Tales series for a different style of gameplay.XCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year.Įarth has changed.

I got Civ6 + expansions + DLC finally a few weeks ago when it was on sale in Steam, so I've started on that-seems interesting so far.Īpart from those 2, Supreme Commander Forged Alliance, Total Annihilation, Dark Reign and Endless Legend are the others which grabbed me.Ĭasual strategy: Royal Envoy series is tops-try the free demos at BigFish Games if you haven't played it. I have a few hundred hours in Civ5-love the art style, but not mad about the nerf on playing wide and general slower pace. Civ4 got me good though, way over 1,000 hours in that-and a big shout out to the BAT/BUG mod people, thank you, you took the tedium out of it. I played 1, 2, & 3 but they didn't hook me. 'Let's give 'em an airshow' 'Are you ready for a chemistry lesson?'Ĭivilization is my other biggie. Fav of them all is Generals Zero Hour-the Generals' Challenge is great. Whole CnC series gets my #1 spot-currently slowly making my way thru Remastered.
