It wasn't until I actually finished the game that I decided it was worth buying, and this is because of how difficult it was to beat. I'm definitely sharing a love-hate relationship with this game in which I am loving that I hated it. You see, I like a challenge and a narrative, but XCOM pushed me to my limits as far as capabilities go. When thinking about how to review this game I wanted to end this in a negative way, and I wanted to do so because I haven't enjoyed turn-based combat video games since the KOTOR series.
Final Verdict: A Must-Buy for Any Hardcore Gamer
