Is XCOM: Enemy Unknown a good game?

Verdict. XCOM is a great addition to the strategy genre, complete with an engaging campaign full of tension and challenges. The characters grow in satisfying ways, but the tactical game doesn’t ever quite give players enough room to make the most of their abilities.

You should play Enemy Within. The expansion simply adds new upgrades, options, mission types, etc. to the base game; the basic story progression does not change.
