    I hate the PRNG of XCOMs. For anyone suffering from that I recommend Hard West. It’s a buggy game, but the luck mechanism is interesting. Basically when missing, your luck increases, and eventually that helps you hit. So missing a good shot isn’t that bad, because you can build a strategy on it regardless.

      XCOM 2 has that same mechanic, in case you didn’t know. It’s just not advertised to the player. So this is purely psychological on your end :P

        How many years of luck increases do you need in XCOM 2 not to miss a 99 % shot?

        Seriously though, do you have any good sources to read about this?
