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!

That list looks solid, Wartales does seem interesting for sure!

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.
