Aliens: Dark Descent

Don't rage-quit too early. It's worth it! I bought this looking for something like XCOM. My first impression? Installed it, played a bit, got frustrated, and uninstalled. But something pulled me back. I reinstalled it later to give it a second chance, and I’m so glad I did. This game has a steep learning curve and the beginning is anything but easy. It takes time to truly get into it, but it is absolutely worth the effort. Once it clicks, the loop of building your team, promoting soldiers, picking professions/perks, and managing your base is incredibly rewarding. Highly recommended!
