10 PC Games That Are Perfect For Steam Deck

This mod makes swapping out squadmates the matter of two clicks instead of several, making weapon swapping almost instantaneous, and even allows brave Commanders to send out more than six soldiers at once! Stats, health, willpower, and even skill information are all readily available without sifting through menu after menu after menu. Thank you, Robojum


Even though the XCOM games are famously difficult , they are all turn-based. As a result, players have plenty of time to plan and think about their moves. XCOM: Chimera Squad is currently only on PC, so Steam Deck looks to be a great way to play this beloved title . XCOM: Enemy Unknown is available on the PS Vita, but it plays poorly. XCOM 2 is available on Nintendo Swi


However, there's still quite some time before Project Triangle Strategy releases. The fact that it doesn't even have a final name as of yet should make it clear that the waiting period is going to go on for quite some time. So, for fans who might find this wait to be somewhat unbearable, here are ten games on the Nintendo Switch that players can try out before Project Triangle Strategy relea


In the meantime, Firaxis is supporting XCOM 2 with what ultimately amounts to a Season Pass. Players have the option to purchase the Reinforcement Pack DLC, which will release three bonus collections of content between Spring and Summer later this year. In the meantime, modders are actively supporting the title with puppy-based weapon


With the War of the Chosen add-on came the inclusion of XCOM’s version of zombies. The Lost, as they are called here, are pathetic little nothings, easily dispatched in high numbers. Players consider them more of a nuisance than a threat, due to the repeated need to confirm an att


Cover art for video games has had a tough time getting the recognition it deserves over the last ten years. This is predominantly due to the gaming industry's continued transition into the digital world, as gamers have been spending less time browsing their local game shop and more time using online stores from the comfort of their own h


A sign of a good cover is if someone who has no idea about the product can guess what genre it's in and what it's going to be about. It doesn't take a gaming expert to look at Halo 4 's cover and know instantly that not only is Master Chief the hero but that the game is going to consist of him at war with the odds stacked solidly against him, exemplified by him kneeling beneath the crumbling world ab


Astute gamers will have realized that Terror From The Deep was set in 2040 in the original canon. Seeing as XCOM 2 takes place in 2035, it looks like Firaxis is poised to continue their tradition of taking the general XCOM timeline and modifying bits and pieces of it. Terror From The Deep already fits into this timeline pretty nicely, and we fully expect a heavy influence from this title in their next g


Borderlands 3 isn't the only game to take inspiration from religious artwork, as Far Cry 5 's cover is a clear reference to one of the most famous paintings of all time, Leanardo De Vinci's The Last Supper. The reference is an ingenious way of telling players just how highly regarded Joseph Seed is among his cult memb


Hideo Kojima's most recent title is expectedly narrative-heavy. All the same, there are a ton of things to do outside the main story. Once you set up a nice infrastructure in the open world, it is joyful and relaxing to do deliveries between outposts utilizing all the structures. It feels like reaping the reward for hours of hard work. It is also great to do while listening to a podcast or mu

Fans in 2012 were anxious to get their hands on another XCOM game after so many years absent. Coming from the creators of the Sid Meier's series, players were cautious in their anticipation, as while the developer is known for creating strong strategy elements, XCOM was a whole other ball game when it came to combat. Involving complex world building elements and critical decisions through the campaign, Enemy Unknown and its follow-up expansion, Enemy Within, became arguably the best installments in the long running franchise. It featured incredibly hardcore elements with the concern that even the simplest mission could end with a couple of your most invested and powerful comrades coming back in body bags. There was nothing like it on the market, and because of this, Firaxis was far from ready to hang the series up and has been working on a new and greatly improved sequel that will undoubtedly make fans joyous. While it seems XCOM 2 improves upon its predecessor, there are some shortcomings to its execution.

XCOM 2 's cover has a far more minimalist design than the other entries on this list. The slg Game news's cover is extremely sinister, with the alien's face being made up purely of human skulls, letting players know straight away that this isn't going to be a wholesome Bandicoot -like adventure. Moreover, the morbid aesthetics and fact that the alien is looking straight at the viewer could be seen as an implication of the game's punishing difficul
