You play as a multiethnic resistance group that performs guerrilla warfare against an overwhelmingly powerful oppressor. Feels like a leftist dogwhistle, even if realistically its normal #resistance

    Idk about it being leftist, but turn based squad games are my shit, so I really enjoyed it, even if it's a buggy mess some times. I love how War of the Chosen just turns the entire game into an anime for no reason lol.

    Anyone played Chimera squad? I've heard mixed reviews.

      Chimera Squad is buggy, everyone hates the art style, and every mission is a SWAT raid which gets repetitive and feels a little icky. That said, as a big XCOM fan, I enjoyed the different twists on the gameplay and I don't regret my purchase, I just wouldn't recommend it. The best word to describe it is experimental - they tried a lot of different stuff and some of it worked and some of it didn't. I'm optimistic that they can take the best parts of it for XCOM 3.

      its not actually leftist, i just like pretending it is. i was super worried that war of the chosen would jump the shark with overpowered chosen and faction heroes, but it turned out to be a fantastic expansion, i loved it. never got to chimera squad but i probably will one day
