You play as a multiethnic resistance group that performs guerrilla warfare against an overwhelmingly powerful oppressor. Feels like a leftist dogwhistle, even if realistically its normal #resistance

In Xcom1 you basically play as a swat team against alien "terrorists", and then i think you play as cops in Chimera Squad. Xcom2 is that real shit

Wrong. LW is literally just "What if we made the game worse, but also longer, less engaging, and more tedious". It's literally just a list of bad design decisions.

I basically agree with that, but sometimes I actually want that. It's like that one time a year you want to play Risk even though you have loads of better wargames.

I guess sometimes you just feel :party-sicko:

Sometimes being annoyed and stressed out is the ideal XCOM experience, and LW/LW2 do that very well imo.
