I really enjoyed the gameplay mechanics of XCOM 2, but I found the time limit a bit stressful. Are there any other games out there that provide a similar experience without that constant pressure?

If you’re on PC, consider looking at mods designed to remove or ease the time constraints in XCOM. NexusMods has some great options that can tailor the game to your liking!
Also, here’s a link to a Reddit post with a list of games similar to XCOM gameplay-wise. Wartales seems like it could be a great fit for you!
I highly recommend Wasteland 2. It’s an awesome strategic RPG that captures a similar vibe without the stressful timer.
Check out Colony Ship! While it’s not exactly like XCOM, it features turn-based combat and has an interesting sci-fi storyline that I think you’d enjoy. It’s definitely worth a try!
You might want to look into Othercide, Miasma Chronicles, or Mutant Year Zero. They each have elements similar to XCOM 2 but with a different pace.
Definitely check out Mutant Year Zero! It’s a shorter game that has that XCOM feel but is less stressful.
That list looks solid, Wartales does seem interesting for sure!
