I have not played XCOM and most hack&slay stuff was boring for me.
You might like the earlier Larian games:
- Divine Divinety has gameplay like Diablo, but with a hand crafted map, lots of humor, many quests and lots of things to explore.
I had problems to run it on a new computer sometimes.
- Divinity 2 is a 3D single character action RPG were you can turn into a dragon.
The mind reading ability is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
