Yet another vote for XCOM 2 for me. Just be sure not to add that freaking monster hunter DLC, that breaks the game to almost beyond playable. Although I did manage to get through it with some luck, it was not fun. Made the rest of the game seem too damn easy, actually.
If you're frustrated by RNG, there are 2 things I suggest:
1) more generous timers script (adds about 4 more turns to each "timed" mission, or infinite if you want). So that hostage rescuing mission doesn't go ass up if suddenly a Faceless spawns up next to your team and you are forced to retreat or hang on for a turn.
2) the research isn't that hard to get your head around, but you will benefit from a tiny bit of homework. Just decide what play style you want (Elite level soldiers OR Elite level hardware/tech OR Psi-ops OR battle mechs), and just stick to one. I found myself with an abundance of resources, time, AND options by late game without a worry in the world.
Seriously, the customization in the game is off the hook, the version that gives you all the extra DLC makes it pretty awesome to tweak your squad with names, colors, armor, and look.
As a side-note for Jagged Alliance, yeah Back in Action was too broken for me. Lots of tedious mechanics, and easy to get yourself in a situation where you would pretty much break your game. Also, having to manually pick up every piece of ammo or item after clearing a map is just stupid, considering how easy that was in JA2. Just play JA2, unofficial patch, and if you like that give Urban Chaos a go. Untold hours of fun there already.
