XCOM® 2

Mods do work, though you have to do a little extra work, but it`s niot that hard. there`s already a review post that says how to do it. I already had this on Steam as I never thought it would come out on GOG. Bought it again (on Sale this time) because I like independent gaming where I am not tied to the internet by an Online DRM. Now if the net dies for any reason I can still run it, and who knows what will happen in this turbulent 2020! Some people say some bits are missing, but everything seems legit from my play so far. That said, I never played online, I`m a Single Player Guy. Short Review: This is a turn based stratgey game of you fighting to free Earth from Aliens. the tactics are a little simplified from the original, original Xcom, but still quite indepth and plays every bit as severely as the originals. It will punish you hard on even normal until you learn. prepare to lose people. You have snipers, heavy gunners, stealth guys and even psionics with enough research. Your people are all customisable or let the game create them for you, this really makes you invested in your crew. Best played on Iron Man, but you don`t have to. Alien enemies are very varied and give as good as they get. You are in a constant arms race as you rsearch captured alien tech and they bring on better alien stuff to stop you with. There`s much more to this game than I write here, but all I can say is buy this game and its add-ons (pretty much all the add-ons are good save 1 but it`s worth getting for the extra custom stuff) while you can. It is seriously worth it on GOG. Deserved 5 stars.

Easier way to install mods: - Use the "Vortex" mod manager from Nexus mods (https://www.nexusmods.com/). - Download mods from: * Nexus mods (smaller catalogue) * Skymods (https://catalogue.smods.ru/game/xcom-2/) (if the mod you want is not available go to their Guilded https://www.guilded.gg/i/k5aO9mjk) * https://steamworkshop.download/ (they keep a cached version of mods, not always updated). - Install the mods through Vortex. - ?? - Enjoy. Regarding the game, mods keep me coming back. There are many things that can be ironed out, and many bugs that are still lying around, but the game is still good.

omg id never thought this ever come to gog...there is no words to express how hype i am right now thank the gaming gods for gog now i can completely leave steam...yes iv completely migrated to gog but one game kept me on steam xcom 2

Would spend another 800 hours in it on GOG as well.

They removed many of the real fun parts from the previous game. No medals for your soldiers, no fun base building with adjancencies to plan for, no gene mods etc. On the other hand this game has more annoying/unfair enemies, making it extremely painful to play in Ironman (which is the only way to play these games IMO, for the tension). I stopped playing after a few days, just wasn't fun enough. And I played the previous game for an extremely long time and finally beat it on Ironman! This just doesn't feel as polished or thought through. Just my opinions though, many seem to love it so, whatever...
