XCOM: Enemy Unknown

XCOM: Enemy Unknown (PS3, 2012) is a tense, tactical masterpiece that revitalizes the classic franchise with turn-based strategy, permadeath stakes, and deep base management. Command a squad of soldiers against an alien invasion, where every decision matters—research tech, manage panic levels, and sacrifice rookies to save the world. The PS3 version delivers the full experience, though controls feel more at home on PC. A must-play for strategy fans, dripping with replayability.
