I played all four of the XCOM games. (Enforcer is not an XCOM game). UFO defence is the best. Terror is more of the same, but just dosent have the same atmosphere. Apolcalypse is a dissapointment, the graphical style really does not work, and the game balance in turn based mode is so far off its not funny. Still a good game, but not the best of XCOM.

Interceptor is nice, but far removed from the original gameplay. An adequate space shooter and an adequate resource sim.

Is Aftermath being done by any of the original XCOM talent? I had the impression it was a new group doing it.

Real-time? BAH! Better have a pause button...

Turn-based works much better with this style of game.

I played it & I think it sucks. Its fun for about the first half or so, but then it turns bad real quick. They didn`t balance the mid to late game well. Psychic aliens are way over powered. There is also no enemy AI like there was in the old UFOs, like how an alien will take a pop shot at you and hide.. now they just all rush you at once stupidly. It takes forever to build new armors. They also neutered the 'strategic' part of the game. There is no economy to buy weapons and etc. You don`t build bases. All you can do is pick from 4 base functions ie Military, Research, Engineering, & Biomass Replusing.
