XCOM: Enemy Unknown

 XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a squad focused turn-based strategy game in which you are the primary response team to an alien incursion.

It's done well, with simple controls, lots of character and research advancements to keep you in line with the progressively harder alien menace.  I played pretty deep into the campaign and could imagine myself playing it in its entirety, but now that I've gotten deep into it - my attachment to the characters I've levelled up in the campaign have made me replay levels, to "tighten up and keep frosty".

I can see why this game was so popular, I wish I had played it when it was the new sexy instead of retro sexy.  XCOM 2 feels old at this point even, but I'd definitely be in on #3.
