I've been keeping a remote eye on the Long War mod for a while, but to be perfectly honest I'd written it off as joyless ultra-hardcore tweaks for a very particular type of strategy gonk.
A rather more Gollopy experience, one might say. Only this time, I switched things up, and have had a completely different experience. Much as it's a surprisingly natural fit for phone play, the combination of camera control issues, not being able to change the colours of my soldiers' armour and no Enemy Within expansion drew me to firing up the PC version yet again instead. One of the answers to that question is that the game just had a belated Android release, so I found my way to it in waiting rooms and bathroom breaks.
There are so many other games I should and would like to play, yet I find myself once again knee-deep in something I by this point know every aspect of. 'Why am I playing XCOM through for the sixth time?' is a question I've asked myself several times over the last week.
