I want to tell you about an often overlooked game that I really enjoyed my time with.

The setting is AMAZING, you are in 1960s America trying to contain an alien invasion with your team.

It got a lot of flak because it used the XCOM name while being a completely different type of game and it definitely had some flaws (the gameplay reminds one most of Mass Effect 1) - but if you see it on sale somewhere give it a chance, I think you won’t regret it. If anyone else has played it, do share your thoughts :)

It has beautiful maps, but also one of worst plot twist in gaming, story was engaging until that point.

Honestly it didn't bother me that much, the story to me was more 7/10 forgettable rather than off-putting.
