XCOM 2
Earth has lost to the aliens and you lead the resistance. Turn-based tactical battles where your soldiers can die for good, plus a layer of base management between missions. Tense and very rewarding.

Who it's for
For strategists who accept losing their favourite soldiers and enjoy decisions with consequences.
When not to pick it
