First they come out with XCOM 2 which is amazing, and now Civilization 6 is getting rave reviews. I've always loved their games. I put so much time into XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Civilization 5. I haven't gotten to Civ 6, and I won't until I'm done with X2, but they are having a great year. I think they may as well be developer of the year. What do you think, SW? Am I close on this one?

I'm waiting for them to patch XCOM2 to reduce load times, or for it to drop in price, one or the other. I heard it was an issue on PC too and there was a clever work around, like holding the TAB or CTRL button during loads boosts the load time substantially for some reason. If it's just glitchy for whatever reason, I hope they fix it.

I wish they'd consider doing another Civilization Revolutions for consoles, I loved the last one for consoles.

Anyhow, played XCOM: Enemy Unknown, got the Enemy Within Expansion version when it was on sale for $9.99 on XB1 via their BC, so at least I have that to play still.

Had a great time with Xcom 2 (got it at launch on PC, and barely encountered any technical issue beyond some low framerates in the very last mission), will soon dive into Civ VI.

Xcom 2 abd Civ vi are the best games I've played this year. Can't decide which i prefer though!

Xcom 2 was beyond broken for many and still is to this day. There's so many issues with the game that I would call it one of the biggest disappointments in a long time.
