The 1st "true" successor to the X-COM series

User Rating: 8.5 | UFO: Aftershock PC
Let me preface by saying that I first played X-COM back in 1993 when it came out and have been an X-COM fanatic ever since, I am huge fan of turn based strategy/ Tac Sims and have played them all. From the JA series to Laser Squad Nemesis. While not more than superficially impressed with it predecessor UFO: Aftermath, UFO: Aftershock addresses the lacking areas of that game in spades, while there is no ship to ship combat in UFO: AS, every other single aspect of the original X-COM exists here. It's not officially turn based, but the 3 phase "pause" system is the next best thing.
Like ANY PC game worth its salt these days, this game ships with a share of bugs comparable to the complexity of the game, It been patched once already
and user work arounds are readily available on the forums. in short if you are
going to whine about bugs stick to the console game kids, that's why they exist to make you feel safe and warm and simple . If you want relive the glory days of X-COM, in a complicated, challenging game with tons of bells and whistles UFO: Aftershock has the best chance of giving you what you're looking for.
