From the makers of Sid Meier's Civilization comes a game about civilization's last stand. As the commander of an elite paramilitary organization known as XCOM, you control Earth's defenses against a terrifying alien invasion. This package includes the award-winning XCOM: Enemy Unknown base game and XCOM: Enemy Within expansion, plus all of the released add-on content.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Features

  • Strategic Base: Detect and intercept the alien threat as you build and expand your XCOM headquarters. Recruit, customize, and develop unique operatives. Manage your personnel and negotiate with governments around the world.
  • Tactical Combat: Direct your squad in fierce turn-based ground battles, engage in cover operation, and rescue civilians in crowded cities and desolate outlands around the world.
  • Research Alien Technology: Recruit scientists and engineers to unlock more advanced weapons, armor, and abilities.

XCOM: Enemy Within Features

  • Additional Soldier Abilities: Research a new alien technology to advance the capabilities of your operatives at a genetic level using Gene Mods or engineer MEC suits for heavy support in the field.
  • Additional Weapons and Equipment: Give your operatives an extra tactical edge with new projects from your engineering team and the Foundry.
  • Additional Enemy Threats: Adopt new tactics to counter the threats from a new human enemy known as EXALT and two new aliens, the Seeker and Mechtoid.
  • New Strategic Resource: A valuable new alien resource, known as MELD, has been released onto the landscape providing access to new research and upgrades.

The first game was good, but the second game blows the first one out of the water. I can't even force myself to play Enemy Unknown anymore, since Enemy Within is so, so much better. It's also the only game I keep on my phone these days.

I was enjoying Enemy Unknown so much that I held off installing Enemy Within as I knew I wouldn't be going back. Same again for XCOM 2!

This one comes with my personal recommendation, I can't get enough XCOM!

Oh and obviously I already own this, so if anyone who doesn't have access to Prime wants my GOG key then you can have if (if you promise to actually play it!)

Hey, can I have it? Would be great to introduce my kids to the foundations of gaming history! 🙂

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 16 hours ago

You may, I'll DM you the key

Luna? Isn't that shutting down soon?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 10 hours ago

There are basically multiple services under the Luna umbrella. Cloud gaming was one of them and it's only ending support for none-Amazon games.

This here is just giving you a key you can enter on GOG and is basically independent of Luna once you've claimed the game. They also sometimes give away games on Amazon itself and those should remain in your Amazon account. This used to be called Amazon Games.

I saw an announcement that they're removing the ability to buy games on Luna, but I don't think that affects this. For whatever reason they refer to all their gaming stuff as Luna (I assume just to market it more) but a far as I'm aware these free games are pretty separate from their cloud-hosted gaming service.

It morphed from Twitch Gaming (or Twitch Games?) to Amazon Gaming to Amazon Prime Gaming to Amazon Luna. No wonder they can't convince customers that they exist.
