Brought the Genre Back to Life
This game single-handedly brought this genre back to life. And man... it's not hard to see why. The atmosphere and tone of the game - I wish I could experience it for the first time again. There's nothing like wondering what unseen terrors await you in the fog as you listen to the horrifying atmosphere. For a first playthrough, XCOM EW really captures that classic terrifying XCOM vibe in a way that none of these other games do. Sure, XCOM 2 made refinements and added more mission variety, snakemen were back, and it provided better character customization and different game modes. However, XCOM EW is still the best game we've had in this genre since the old games. It's just master-class at nearly everything it does.
