Here’s a fun idea. Take a single player game, preferably one that has clearly delineated missions or activities, then play for a designated period of time or until a round or task has been completed. Finally, save the game and pass on the save file to the next player. This is exactly what Naithin over at Time to Loot has done. This the second succession game he’s organised and the first that I’ve participated in. The original was a communal play through Civilisation VI. I passed on that because I am not au fait with this sub-genre of RTS games. However, this time round we’re playing XCOM 2 which is more to my liking. I played The Bureau: XCOM Declassified a few years ago and enjoyed it, so I was happy to give this succession game a try. Furthermore, the group playing are all fellow bloggers who hangout on the Blaugust Discord server, so that adds to the enjoyment. So today, I copied and installed Naithin’s save file and fired up XCOM 2.
