Gears Vs. XCOM: A Tactical Comparison
XCOM: Chimera Squad released last week and Gears Tactics released today, and I've been enjoying the hell out of both games. Each has a unique approach to tactical gameplay that's incredibly rewarding in its own way. But if you only have the time, money, or interest to get into one of them, I made a video to help you decide which!
Please enjoy the video above, and for more on each game check out our Gears review or our XCOM review. Both games are available on PC now, with Gears Tactics confirmed for Xbox at a later date.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
