XCOM 2 is what I like to call the ramen noodle packet of gaming. I bought this game on a winter sale six whole years ago. Back then, I was very poor, and had less than a hundred dollars a month to spend on video games, so I always gravitated toward games that give me a lot of bang for my buck. XCOM 2 is the epitome of that, making it the ramen noodle packet of gaming. Ramen noodles are cheap, you can get more of them basically anywhere, and they're a solid core food that provides a lot of room for modularity to make it even better, which in this case represents XCOM 2's insane modding scene.

If you're a broke college student, you can live basically entirely off of ramen noodles. And if you're a broke college student, you can get the game on sale for super cheap and have hundreds of hours worth of super modular strategic entertainment that'll last you until you get your Master's.
