It’s a worthy and far more appropriate reboot of the franchise, easily the most addictive game this year, and one of our favourite Firaxis games ever.90games(TM)

As enjoyable as it is reverential, Enemy Unknown is a superb reimagining of a favourite series from days past.90IncGamers

It must have been amazing game back in 2012, but in 2023 it is just a famous name, nothing else. I’m glad they basically invented the genre – it spawned so many amazing games since then.50Oshiri_Maeda
i liked it, honestly. i think it’s an alright reboot – i love strategy so this was right up my alley70dogeswillkill
Great game with an interesting story. Can spend hundreds of hours playing this game. But to be honest I prefer the second one.70Sean-M
Removed without notice from GeForce Now, I purchased a game I can no longer play.0jgeof
A solid, tight tactical game. It’s a little finicky with some of the UI elements and it was hard to stay motivated through the base building element. Still a quality game.70Shimmeywill
Interesting additions to the original. Could not motivate me to complete another playthrough of the game though.70Vanco
