It’s hard to be too picky about free games, but there’s no denying that the freebies handed out by the likes of Amazon Prime and the Epic Games Store often fall a little flat. Every once in a while, though, you’re given an indisputable classic that makes you forgive all the skippable offerings you got along the way. That’s the case with one of October’s free games on Amazon Prime, as it’s an all-time great tactics game you need to check out if you’ve somehow missed it for this long.
Released in 2016, XCOM 2 is up there with the best turn-based tactics games ever made. Building on the already solid foundations of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOM 2 does everything a good sequel should, preserving what made the original great while smoothing out its rough spots and adding smart new features.
