XCOM: Enemy Within takes the fantastic base game and cranks everything up to eleven! New enemies, genetic modifications for your soldiers, an extra layer of strategy with the Exalt... this expansion makes the campaign even more intense. The start can be brutal, especially if you're new to XCOM, and the difficulty spikes are no joke. But if you love a challenge, and want to expand on your alien-fighting strategies, this makes an already great game even better.
