The XCOM franchise has been my 'constant' for the past 20 years or so. From it's original release as UFO: Enemy Unknown produced by Microprose in the mid 90s to it's most recent incarnation as XCOM2 and the incredible War of the Chosen DLC, it remains one of my fondest and most replayable experiences even … Continue reading XCOM2: The Brexiteers

Game Diary: Dark Souls III Part Four
