This series of games is very old, most likely you were not born when the first part came out (in 1993). After that there were several sequels, but the real popularity came to the series in 2012, when XCOM: Enemy Unknown was released. The success was consolidated by Enemy Within, and then came XCOM 2, followed by War of the Chosen. I'll tell you about turn-based games similar to Xcom that I've played myself. Some of them are easy to miss with a 90% hit probability. It's just the way we like it.
