Final Word:
The total package has enough gameplay time to keep everyone going at least for the foreseeable future especially on the harder difficulties.
The Whole Package
Longevity
The total package has enough gameplay time to keep everyone going at least for the foreseeable future especially on the harder difficulties.
Total Score
I award the whole package 7.5/10. This package contains the closest set of games that you can get to the X-com series.
Pros
A solid collection of strategy games.
Good value for money.
Few mods out for the games that will increase playability.
All the different difficulty settings really add to the longevity of this pack.
A Change of pace from most games.
Cons
UFO: Afterlight could have done with more time spent on the control system.
The games feel dated.
After so much time X-com still plays and feels better.
No multiplayer. It would have been nice to pit your wits against a real opponent trying to hold on to as much territory as possible and making alliances.
Who would enjoy these games?
These games would be an essential purchase for any strategy gamer that would like a trip down memory lane to how games used to be. Any X-com Fan would also get a kick out of blowing away alien scum one last time for old times sake.
