XCOM® 2

There is a lot of negativity about the GOG version of XCOM 2 due to there being no mod manager. Just because Steam streamlined modding so that a 5 year old could do it doesn't mean the GOG version can't be modded. It's just a simple matter of dragging the mod files to the correct directory. Easy.

Shen's Last Gift, Anarchy's Children & Alien Hunters are included, bundled, in the 'XCOM 2: Reinforcement Pack' DLC (separate purchase from the base game).

This game is a lot of fun. I liked XCOM, and this one turns everything up a few levels. I would have been happy with the vanilla game, until I heard about the voice packs. I immediately decided I had to have a squad of Tony Montana, Duke Nukem, Archer, Bob Ross, Cheryl Tunt, and Tommy Wiseau. One of the top reviews said there was no mod support. I downloaded a few mods from Nexus Mods and I figured out how to add them to the game. I recently completed the base game with mods enabled and had no issues on Windows 7. Here is what I did: 1. download the mod for "manual install", not through a mod manager. 2. create a folder in your XCOM2 installation folder's XComGame folder and call it Mods. 3. extract the mod's contents into the Mods folder. 4. Ensure the mod is contained in one folder 5. Ensure the mod's folder name exactly matches the name of the mod's XComMod file, without the extension. For example, the Tommy Wiseau voice pack's mod file is "Wiseau.XComMod", so the folder must be named "Wiseau". 6. some mods replace the contents of the game's config files (only when the mod is loaded), which can cause incompatibilities with other mods. They're just text files, so a manual merge works just fine.

Cheryl launching a grenade and saying "Let me bounce this of you guys" cracks me up. Bob Ross was my sniper and "Today, the paint salesman is in town". Now I have my squad and it is glorious.

Simply put, perhaps the greatest turn-based squad tactics game ever made. Competent production values, great atmosphere, though the fact is is also for consoles demanded some streamlining. And don't miss out on War of the Chosen, it is benchmark for how expansions are to be made. The only minor drawback I can think about is music not being as good as in XCOM 2012. By the way, previous game is very decent too, and if you are one of those people who can't handle being time-pressured, vanilla XCOM 2012 is more forgiving for turtlers.
