XCOM – The Final Boss
Finally! We have come to face the final boss, XCOM: Enemy Unknown! But before I let you go, there are still a couple of things you can do before tackling this fantastic title. If I were you, and I just finished my journey of all other games in this guide, I would start tackling XCOM by getting all the tutorials done and over with, because skipping them also means you’ll not learn the unique basics of the title, and you’ll also be missing the very first fun couple of hours where everything starts to come together in your mind. Don’t rush the tutorial; read everything. You’ll get it done and over with in about an hour, and you won’t ever need to do it again. To keep frustration at bay, don’t run an Ironman mode from the get-go, and lower the difficulty if you feel like it. Remember, games are supposed to be fun, not to bang your head against a wall. After you’re done with XCOM: Enemy Unknown, I would play XCOM 2, and then XCOM 2 with War of the Chosen. After that, as a desert, I would play XCOM: Chimera Squad, which is pretty damn fantastic, so just ignore the naysayers. There you have it! Your very own guide to play XCOM!
Conclusion – Looking Forward To Other Challenges
This guide will serve you well on your journey to play one of the best turn-based strategy games ever made, and the game that’s single-handedly responsible for the resurgence of strategy we have been seeing for the last decade and a half. With this guide, you should also be fully capable of going after more complex games like Xenonauts 2 and Jagged Alliance 3, and I have an article just about that, where you can find out more about the best turn-based strategy games to play if you loved XCOM and XCOM 2.
