Why is this ranked so low when people call the original one of the best ever made? Something doesn't add up here honestly.

About XCOM: Enemy Unknown
XCOM: Enemy Unknown will place you in control of a secret paramilitary organization called XCOM. As the XCOM commander, you will defend against a terrifying global alien invasion by managing resources, advancing technologies, and overseeing combat strategies and individual unit tactics.
The original XCOM is widely regarded as one of the best games ever made and has now been re-imagined by the strategy experts at Firaxis Games. XCOM: Enemy Unknown will expand on that legacy with an entirely new invasion story, enemies and technologies to fight aliens and defend Earth.
You will control the fate of the human race through researching alien technologies, creating and managing a fully operational base, planning combat missions and controlling soldier movement in battle.

Mass Effect 2 gana.

lo he comparado mil veces con mass effect 2 en mi cabeza y para mí xcom gana en tensión, cuando pierdes un soldado veterano duele de verdad, en mass effect las decisiones pesan más en la historia pero aquí pesan en la partida misma, cada permadeath se siente personal y eso me atrapa más que cualquier diálogo

Surcoté, ce classement. Le jeu répète les mêmes missions au bout de dix heures et personne n'en parle jamais.

C'est justement pour ça que le classement existe, non ? Les votes tranchent, et là il tient bon !!
