Enemy Unknown was a 10 out of 10 game that you can still play 20 years later. Xenonauts gets a 7 from me. I'd rather just have Xenonauts 2. The same again but with added features, triple the scenery, more guns/tech, gameplay tweaks, and the obvious flaws fixed.

Hi all. Love the game. I played XCOM on my amega many years ago and played it again last year. I've also tried to play all the similar games like Jagged Alliance, Afterlight and Silent Storm. I was never keen on the real-time element of the game. I didn't like the feeling of being in a research/base building race with the aliens, and I'm still not keen. Another game, possibly Xenowar, had an option to play a stand alone ground mission from the early,middle or late period of the campaign. I'd like that option in Xenonauts. Due to spoilers, I think it would be best if you had to unlock the periods in the campaign before you can pick them. It would be cool if there was a scoring system to so you can gauge how well you played. The suppression system is a great addition. XCOM was a great game. The Gollops made a better one though. Laser Squad Nemesis. RIP. Space Marines, robots, 'greys' and some monsters battling it out on a variety of maps. Rather that alternate turns it was played against other people by posting your turns to a server, which then ran both simultaneously to see what the result would be. It was the most exciting, finely tuned, tactical game I have ever played. AI will never replace a human for an opposition. It would be great if you could do a 2 player version of this game. Alternate turns with maybe a 'force point' method of picking weapons and soldiers. Maybe even make the aliens playable. More. The modders are doing well in this respect already. More maps of the current style, but more variety. Swamp maps. Indoor maps (Like Apocalypse). Beach maps. South American maps.etc New aliens, new weapons, new vehicles, etc etc etc. BUT...I'm not a techy person so I would wait for an official update to the game rather than some of the complicated (to me) fiddling some mods require. But as I said, I love the game already!
