Rest in Peace Soldier

Seriously though XCOM is one of my favorite games to come out in forever. It has an amazing potential to create stories as things go wrong (and they will go wrong) and you struggle to wriggle out of the mess you’ve made. The absolute pit in your stomach feeling when a unit you’ve grown attached to and come to depend on is killed in the line of action is on par with any attempt at emotional storytelling in video games I’ve seen to date.

Highly recommended.
