"XCOM: Chimera Squad"
|
It's five years after the War of the Chosen, and this time the humans actually won. City 31 is a beacon of integration where humans, aliens, and hybrids are not actively opposed to each other. Chimera Squad comes to town at the invitation of Mayor Nightingale, to do what the Reclamation Agency does - get restricted alien technology off the streets. And then things go south. I'm enjoying this more than the usual XCOM experience, because my agents get to banter with each other. Also, I'm not walking into fog of war, discovering a group of Mutons, and getting slaughtered. It's a familiar-yet-different game, and I definitely want to reach the end of the story...and I feel like I actually have a chance to do that. I recommend it to anybody who liked XCOM.

LAST EDITED ON May-15-20 AT 05:42 PM (EDT) >So wait. Is this an actual *new* XCOM game, or a fan thing? I don't >mind either way, but it's an important distinction to make. It's an actual new XCOM game that feels like a fan thing. I can't think of a better way of summarizing the experience than that. Which is not to say it's bad, as such, but I would say it's priced fairly vs. the "main" games in the series, so let that guide your expectations vs. same, put it that way. --G. -><- Benjamin D.
