X-Com doesn't need any introduction, but you should install Open X-Com before attempting to play. Everything is confusing in this game and Open X-Com brings many QoL updates to UI. The simplest example would be: you build radars to detect UFOs, but there is nothing in the UI that shows the coverage of the radar. Open X-Com fixes many such details, and makes the game actually playable. For those brave enough I can only wish good luck...
Amazing and nostalgic classic game. Considering the hours I've put into this, it's the best bang for buck game I've played in decades. VERY IMPORTANT: After installing this game, immediately visit OpenXcom and install their mod which fixes all the little bugs and game mechanics issues that come with such an old title.
