There have been plenty of ups and downs, but there’s no doubting that Firaxis did a bang-up job with its modern reimagining of iconic turn-based strategy legend X-COM. 2012’s XCOM: Enemy Unknown set a gold standard for tactical strategy games, and few have managed to bottle that special blend of magic since.
Even XCOM 2, which launched in 2016, had a fairly rocky start and wasn’t really set right until the War of the Chosen expansion dropped in 2018. Then came XCOM: Chimera Squad, which released last year and was a different take on the formula. It’s probably not what hardcore XCOM fans wanted, but it’s a fun entry into the universe and had some worthy ideas of its own, as our review lays out.
You can now own all of the above, plus all associated add-ons and expansions, for as little as $40 / £27. The XCOM: Ultimate Collection is a new Steam bundle that brings together every game and DLC between XCOM, XCOM 2, and Chimera Squad. It’s integrated with Valve’s ‘complete the set’ feature, so you only pay for what you don’t already own, plus there’s a special introductory price that makes the whole whack insanely cheap for newcomers and completionists alike.
