XCOM: Chimera Squad, Firaxis’ latest entry in the 25-year-old franchise, doesn’t quite rise to the same level of excellence as War of the Chosen. I wasn’t sure where the series could go from there, or what would be gained by more reinvention, remakes, or reboots. I called it “the definitive XCOM experience” in my review. Since then the team has moved from strength to strength, most recently with a narrative-heavy reboot called XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. It successfully reinvented the classic turn-based gameplay of the 1994 original for a modern audience, merging fully 3D environments and characters with lavish animations and challenging tactical gameplay. Firaxis Games’ XCOM: Enemy Unknown, first released in 2012, was a stroke of genius.
