XCOM: Enemy Unknown is easily one of the best strategy games ever in my eyes (review here), so if you haven't tried it I seriously think you should try it since it's free for a weekend. Also, XCOM 2 looks like it will be a day-1 release.
Find XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Steam now, and try it free until Sunday.
You can also now pre-order XCOM 2 on Steam, so it looks like it will be a day-1 release. We still never suggest pre-ordering to save yourself issues, but considering they are already advertising Linux/SteamOS and Feral Interactive posted it on their twitter it could be a safe bet. If you pre-order you get access to a special "Resistance Warrior Pack" which has soldier customization options in it.
What will you do, pre-order or wait? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

According to Feral on Facebook where I asked if they would be supported if I pre-ordered. They seem to indicate that so long as we install on mLinux and play it there they will benefit.

Never had an opportunity to play XCOM: EU until today. I've installed it and after 20 minutes in game I've decided that this is a moment to buy it - looks very interesting and works ok on my machine which is not super powerful.
Btw. Valve did a very clever move when they decided to give players "free weekends" with games. I'm sure it generates huge income - better or similar to demo versions I guess.

XCOM never caught my interest. I have Xenonauts already, which I think is a beautiful tactical game in the spirit of the original XCOM games.
I watched a gameplay trailer of XCOM 2 though and was impressed how they managed to fluently combine actual gameplay with story telling and cutscenes. That's nicely done.

Quoting: wojtek88Valve did a very clever move when they decided to give players "free weekends" with games.

Not Valve's invention AFAIK.
Wouldn't work if you didn't have to log in every time you play though, which means GOG Galaxy will never follow suit.
