    There's a specific genre of mod I love that I don't think there's a real term for, so I'll coin it: Full Remix. Examples: Mega Man 7 EP, XCom 2: Long War Of the Chosen, Phoenix Point: Terror from the Void, Battletech Advanced. Mods that fully deconstruct a game, then rebuild it into something new.

    That's nice! Got a press release about a big final overhaul update for Phoenix Point (genuinely underrated game) with a whole section about how they worked closely with the developer of mega-mod Terror From The Void to ensure full compatibility. Also a price drop/sale. Full game is £11. Recommended

    Huh. I missed that an expansion (a pretty big one - new campaign, new faction, etc) dropped for Chip N' Clawz. The HUGELY undersold action-RTS (think Brutal Legend + Ratchet & Clank) from the Phoenix Point studio. The game has a friend-pass too, so only one purchase needed for online co-op.

    Sometimes, when I'm feeling mean spirited, I'll say something like, "X-com's most recent game was about playing cops, while Phoenix Point is about vaporizing Elon Musk with lasers with anarchists"

    Phoenix Point is a game that genuinely believes in anarchism - in that it thinks anarchism is good and that anarchists can and should be given laser guns. The main failing of Synedrion is that they're not able to bring to bear immense violence on specific threats - which is their biggest strength!

    It's kinda fun that playing X-Com: Enemy Unknown, Terror from the Deep, Apocalypse and Phoenix Point and you can see a pretty steady definition and refinement of a basic moral question that each game is increasingly *about* until it's the entirety of PP: What does it mean to be a human being?

    it's very funny to watch this x-com retrospective and it's like, "The DLC added this and this and this" and I keep going, "oh neat, stuff Phoenix Point did! ...in the base game!" (the build variation in PP is still my favorite thing about it)

    I wish I could properly explain the effect that Phoenix Point has on my psyche like it is THE MOST absolutely precise balance of "I should put this game away, it's clearly not working for me, here are the documentable reasons" vs "NEW YEAR, NEW RUN ATTEMPT, MAYBE THIS TIME"

    I think I'll always have a special kind of respect for 'rebuild' style mega-mods like Battletech Advanced, XCom: Long War, Phoenix Point: Terror From The Void. Mods that take apart the entire game, all of its DLC, all of its systems, lay out the parts... and then puts them together... differently.

    Phoenix Point 100% has better mechanics then X-Com. The Biggest Flaw of PP is that if you buy it with all the DLC, and start a new game, it turns them ALL on, which is a HOT MESS. The game become quickly unplayable and BAD, I suggest only turning on one of the Main DLCS Per playthrough. See Below

    Julian Gollop is such a brilliant game designer. Before the X-Com series, he made Chaos, Rebelstar, Laser Squad, and Lords of Chaos on the Spectrum. Absolutely amazing games, all of them. Recently, he made Chaos Reborn, which is a great game, and Phoenix Point, which I haven't actually played yet.

    Phoenix Point was developed by the original developer of XCom from the 90s. And XCom 2 Terror From the Deep exists as a game and it’s kind of great. XCom: Apocalypse is also extremely worth checking out if you can get it to run.

    I'm not usually a tactics game guy, but XCOM 2 is one of my favorite games ever made. It got me more into the genre, and I played Enemy Within, a bit of Phoenix Point, and struggled against Xenonauts because of it. Also go play Xenonauts. It's super hard, but very fun.

    You’ve probably already heard of it, but I’d recommend Phoenix Point too. It’s a little rough around the edges when I first played it but it’s a good tactics game that feels like it took the old X-COM games and put a twist on some of the ideas.

    Phoenix Point is a flawed game, but I like how it's basically a The Mist strategy game. I get why XCOM has more traditional grey aliens, but the Pandoravirus has more flair (on top of being darkly funny as an element from a game released in 2019).

    #PhoenixPoint really misses the mark with the factions element of the game. All the factions suck, so I never side with anyone which ends up with everyone hating me. It’s like, bro, I’m too busy trying to save the world from mutant zombie monsters from the sea. Can we just put our dumb feelings aside? I got annoyed with the experience and stopped playing. Ya’ll don’t deserve to be saved. I’ll just play #XCOM again. #TurnBased #Strategy #VideoGame

    I've just started playing Phoenix Point on my steam deck, and this immediately feels way more like the original xcom than did last decade's Firaxis remake. The original xcom game had a big influence on me and the creepy midi soundtrack used to give young me the chills, while the xcom remake's soundtrack was disappointingly bombastic military music. So far I'm enjoying Phoenix Point, the one gripe is that some text is small on steam deck's 1280 x 800 screen. #PhoenixPoint #Xcom #SteamDeck
