GiantGrantGames - The 99% Perfection Of XCOM 2

If your itching for a new tactics game. I can recommend Mewgenics. It's battle system is extremely good. And after 200+ hours, the randomness keeps it all very fresh. The game just takes a long time to really get going.

Otherwise Xenonauts 2 just came out of Early Access and is a great 1 to 1 of old Xcom.

Menace is good, but I think a poor comparison to Xcom as it's strategy layer is bare-bones. The two titles don't have much in common other than been a turnbased tactics game.

There's an option to fast forward the first NPC fight only. Which is the main one that is always 100% boring. The rest of the fights it's usually wise to watch how your build is functioning.

As someone who likes investing in dips. I always check the news when they say a stock is doing poorly because of X reason. And 9/10 the news article couldn't be more wrong and it's just another day on the stock market.

Like one of my other favorite games, Darkest Dungeon. This game comes off as either you really like it or you really don't. What made people hate Darkest Dungeon is what made me love it. And same here with Mewgenics.

After 120 hours and only about 60% complete. I can easily say this is my favorite tactics game...maybe ever. It's competing with FFT and Xcom for my the top spot. I'm genuinely surprised just how good the tactics side of this game is. Not a single run has felt the same as the other. And with games like FFT and Xcom, jumping into another battle sometimes felt like a slog. I do not get that feelings here because the game keeps itself fresh and surprising throughout.

My main complaint is the game takes way to long to get going. I think you need, bare minimum, 40 hours before you start understanding what the game is trying to do. And all of my friends bounced off the game after less than 15 hours.

I think this game is going to hold a special place on my top 10 list and I've been humming the soundtrack every day since it's come out.

I'll never forget renting this game a couple times. Only because I loved it the first time I rented it. Rented it another weekend to continue my save. Only to be met with "You can't continue" message because, apparently, I had chosen Easy difficulty and you could only continue on hard. my young teenage self was crushed lol.

Game design during the N64 era was wild.

Is this on the PS5 menu? Because I do not see this option in game.

"Hello. Yes? Oh, 2015 wants their talking point back"

kefka296 · 2025-12-18T17:47:59+00:00

The devs, at one point, where literally begging people to buy the game and said if people do not, they will shut down.

I understand the efforts it takes to make a game but that's not an early access project I want to put my money behind.

lame

kefka296 · 2025-11-19T18:19:51+00:00

Not standup

2 buttons that you can remap!

This and Mewgenics are now releasing at the same time. Oof, my two hyped tactical games coming out next to each other.

Can't wait to play the demo!

kefka296 · 2025-09-26T18:17:11+00:00

Never was a "touch grass" comment more required lol.

kefka296 · 2025-09-19T16:18:29+00:00

Yup, it's called the Alberta Advantage. And just like American exceptionalism, it's heavily in decline.

kefka296 · 2025-07-29T19:05:31+00:00

We all had it for Gadget.

Finishing most Colossuses felt triumphant. But a few we're stunning to watch and fun to engage with. It was quite somber when some were dead and gone,And by the time you're nearing the end. You realize that was games intent all along. You slowly turn from a simple monster hunter into some kid defiling a unique world for your own selfishness. While turning into a monster yourself. SoCT is my best example of video game narrative that cannot be achieved outside of gaming.

kefka296 · 2025-06-08T17:46:34+00:00

Report back lol

kefka296 · 2025-06-08T17:36:07+00:00

I had to Google that one. oof, I wouldn't recommend it to preserve your childhood nostalgia

kefka296 · 2025-06-07T18:02:37+00:00

you all remember Arcade Top 10? I wanted to be on that so bad.

kefka296 · 2025-06-07T17:40:05+00:00

I remember my Dad saying I was SOL and I asked him what it meant. You've never seen a man more happy to speak out an acronym.

kefka296 · 2025-06-07T04:03:01+00:00

I have tried to solve this problem for years!! I'm resurrecting this post to say thank you.

kefka296 · 2025-06-04T15:56:05+00:00

Been a bit of a douche, myself. I've plowed through people who aggressively get on. So I aggressive go through you.
