This is a PSA: Steam has finally updated their side and the game now works. You need a clean installation for it to work.


XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a great game, definitely recommend. Shame it took so long for Steam to update the game on their end to actually -work- without the Take2 Launcher.

I'm honestly conflicted about this game; don't get me wrong, I love it and have since I've been a teenager, but I can't honestly say it's actually a 'good game.' You can have a lot of fun with it, but you will also probably have a LOT of frustrations with it; it's so RNG heavy and kinda simple that it's all down to blind luck. So, should you buy it?

Ehhhhhhhhhh

There's a lot of technical problems others have been experiencing (not mine personally, but there's a reason its current rating is Mostly Negative), so I can't in good conscience recommend it.

Overall, I'd say YMMV

A tactical turn based shooter where a tiny gray man can 6 crit me 80 yards away with near pinpoint aim and my sniper missed on a 73% hit chance
