I have nothing but positive things to say about this game. Except for the negative things.
I haven’t done a proper review, and might bother some time later.
Full ultrawide support, even in windowed fullscreen. It’s a big difference.

Roam around harassing NPCs and accidentally-clicking in combat.
It has some really obvious and fundamental flaws that make it just terrible to cope with. I feel like I have to struggle against its design. The abilities are buckshot across the interface, the inventory is a hot mess, and combat is awkward and unforgiving. The dialog trees are kind of stupid most of the time, and player customization isn’t particularly present, which is strange for a roleplaying game. I can only see that this has appeal because there have been no decent AAA games lately, and their variety is absolute shit.

Basically one of those old Flash games where you send units from left to right.
Straightforward and fun! Until you just die for reasons you can’t explain!

A pretty basic tower defence game, with the twist that enemies reach your core and carry off power thingies. I think I remember a Flash game like this.
It’s kinda neat, but reminiscent of old DOS games; not good enough.

A simple semi-roguelike tactics-esque game.
Lots of fun, albeit somewhat slow.

A shooter of some sort.
Hard to see, hard to play.
I own the Windows version via Epic.

A pinball game which is absolutely nothing compared to Epic Pinball – (1993 game).
Wow the graphics are bad and the controls are bad.
A refresh of the 2007 Xbox 360

A top-down strategy game.
I dunno, it’s slow and awkward and has more talking than playing. Maybe I’d just have to wade through for much more time before the real game happens, but I’m not going to give it that chance. A game should be fun immediately.

A mostly-idle not-roguelike game, which, although it’s unique, is still mediocre.

Aliens drop by Earth and evil Humans shoot them down and mug them.
Nothing about the interface makes enough sense, and there are no hints as to how things work. It could have been made much better, even back in the day. I’m not going to forgive how bad it is, especially since there was zero effort by Steam to actually fix basic things like aspect ratio.
aka UFO: Enemy Unknown
TODO – There is another, XCOM:Enemy Unknown but it appears to be a remake/something and with DLC content:
