This was my very first Xcom game. It might not be as good as other entries, but its still a good game. And actually, the missions in original xcom could at times drag on longer than you want especially on you 100th mission or whatever. So there are benefits to the quick in and out dogfights in this game. I tested this version a bit (may 2025) and I can at least confirm that it seems to run well on windows 10. The game breaking alien probe bug is fixed I specifically tested that. I don't know if the related pirate base bug is fixed but I am hopeful. I have a minor issue when screen sharing from a laptop to a bigger monitor where the gui is stretched too much. But if I just play it straight on the laptop it doesn't stretch it which for a game unloved as this one is actually not so bad. That it is working at all, let alone smoothely and with the most game breaking bug fixed is an amazing improvement over a few years ago. its a good game with a fun atmosphere. Its definitely worth a couple of dollars.
