A game like Civilization 6 can really get as crazy as it wants to be when Ghandi’s already been flinging nukes around for years.

That was 2016 and although some fantastic DLC has been released along the way, gamers have been wonder: What’s next for XCOM? Answer: XCOM Chimera Squad.

While we’re centuries removed from the days of war between the South African tribes and the colonialists who shaped the history of this nation, Shaka Zulu is ready to live again in Civilization VI’s latest expansion, Rise and Fall.

Growing hordes ans specialised enemies await you in the desolate lands of XCOM 2's War of the Chosen. Look at for that Assassin!

Civilization VI follows the same addictive formula the series has for the past 15 years, albeit with a ton of enhancements and improvements. Is it any good though, or is it more of the same really? Let’s see what the critics think:

Civilization VI is by far the best installment the franchise has seen to date, and it's all because the game is more logical and intuitive.

Unfortunately for console commanders, XCOM 2 didn’t launch on PlayStation or Xbox platforms – as the last one did. That chages this week.
