Description
XCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year.

Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet’s last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.

Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all.

  • XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to XCOM’s mobile headquarters. New open-ended gameplay lets you decide where to guide your strike team, how to grow popular support, and when to combat enemy counter-operations.
  • RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS: Five soldier classes, each with its own skill tree, let you create specific soldiers for your tactical plan.
  • TACTICAL GUERRILLA COMBAT: New gameplay systems offer more tactical flexibility in combat. Use concealment to ambush enemy patrols. Loot enemies for precious gear and artifacts. Rescue VIPs and save fallen comrades by carrying them to the extraction point.
  • A NEW BREED OF ENEMY: A diverse cast of enemies from powerful new alien species to the ADVENT, enforcers of the alien regime, offer a distinct tactical challenge.
  • RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND UPGRADE: Configure and build rooms on the Avenger to give XCOM new capabilities on the battlefield. Use your Scientists and Engineers to research, develop and upgrade weapons and armor to fit your preferred tactics.
  • EACH MISSION IS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE: Go on missions around the world, from wildlands to the heart of the alien-controlled megacities, to the depths of alien installations. There are virtually infinite combinations of maps, missions and goals.

Lousey combat design

This game could've been so much fun. I really enjoyed the original, but despite the graphics upgrade I didn't enjoy this one at all. It was like they let the kindergarten kids take over the kindergarten. The firefight mechanics were just dumb. No line of fire and you can shoot straight through your buddies to hit a target. Missions were just the same old thing over and over again with dumb combat mechanics....I preferred the original.

Series Redeemed

XCOM2 delivered the experience I thought Enemy Unknown should have. In the areas where I criticised (somewhere else, not here) the makers of Enemy Unknown for failing, XCOM2 succeeded. I give the authors kudos for righting the ship, and coming back with a more than worthy successor to a legendary classic.

More of the same with a new skin really

Same bugs. Same awful RNG. Very similarly crappy endgame. Other than that worth it. Guess the dlc fest fills in all the missing holes.

Loved the game but little surprise

I have 60 h in game, and i love it, I bought it as a collection and in comparison with the steam version I was saving about 11 $, unfortunately I recenlty notice that I would be able to play multiplayer or long war as it doesnt support mods. If you are someone that likes to complete games in vanilla, that you are constantly swifting from game to game and you are looking to spend less than 100 h into the game then I can recommend this you will get a great bundle price. But if you really like to go full on the games then there are better options.

Beware - Idiots bombing reviews

People seem to be angry with CDPR about Cyberpunk or something if you check reviews for some other great, prominent games you'll see the trend there as well. This is a great game with or without the War of the Chosen DLC (WotC is for players who already finished the game).
