XCOM: Chimera Squad
Alien takeover of the planet? Check. Humans and aliens teaming together to fight bad aliens? Check. XCOM world? Check. Tactical strategy? Check. Amazing soundtrack? Check. XCOM: Chimera Squad is the latest installment to the old running XCOM franchise of tactical turn based games. It is a follow up to the brilliant XCOM 2, but not really an XCOM 3. XCOM is a team that fights the bad guys, and you are the commander of that team. The XCOM team has been through years and years of warfare against the aliens, and now they’ve teamed up with conscious aliens. Sounds fun? Sure is. Playing the actual game is even more fun. It is challenging, tactical, rewarding, and immensely hurtful when you lose a key member of your team. Available on Steam for a very attractive launch price.

Gears Tactics
These are great times for fans of tactical games. On one hand you have a trusty new XCOM game that we mentioned above, XCOM: Chimera Squad, and on the other, launched today i.e. a few days after XCOM is Gears Tactics. The two games, while in the same genre, are of massive contrasts. While one is a 20 year old running franchise, the other is the first tactical installment in the Gears franchise. This is some serious gasm for tactical fans, because good tactical games are rare. Gears Tactics is basically the Gears of War development team branching out from shooter games. The move is appreciated. Gears Tactics uses all the modern graphical tech, means this is one of the best looking games out there. You’ll need some serious hardware to enjoy all the graphics though. That aside, the game is solid. It takes a lot of mechanics from Gears of War, and implements them cleverly to a new formula.
Call of Duty: Warzone
Bet this is the one game you expected to be on this list eh? Call of Duty’s very own Battle Royale mode is here! Warzone has kept the world engaged during throughout the length of the lockdown and will continue to do so till it lasts. For many, Warzone is their true “friend in isolation”. Whether that’s a sad thing of a good thing, you decide for yourself. But what we do know that COD: Warzone is a fantastic game. It’s available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and it supports cross play too! Meaning you can team up with your friends even if they’re not on the same platform as you. It’s map is filled with a wide variety of locations offering excitement and action throughout. The smoke and safe-zone mechanic means you will never be resting easy. It’s a great game to play with friends. Oh, and achieving a podium finish is a divine feel.
