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.

Good potential game but full of bugs

In the beginning it seems like a good game. But after some time when you are skillful enough, you start to notice some totally ridiculous things. Example: You have surrounded some enemy troops and have a better positions, your troops are behind wall (game shows you full shield icon), also some of your troops are set on "Overwatch", and enemy are about 20 squares away... fighting starts and what happens: Some enemy troop run on open field, and your sniper and grenadier with upgraded weapon misses them. In same time enemy troop from 25 squares shoots your guarded troop behind the wall taking him 6 out of 7 health, of course there is also "bleeding" feature, so your troop is actually dead. Next thing, enemy troops are behind building, building is climbable, you see a blue arrow when you hover mouse over part of wall where you should climb, (and you have climbed the same way few times in that same mission on other roofs) but when you hover mouse over roof there is no mark visible where you can click to place your troop. Perhaps game decided that taking position on that roof would be too big advantage, lol... Next "issue", i had an upgraded grenadier (LT level), in one mission he got a bad hit (only 3 points of health left) ,i couldn't heal him so i decided to take him far enough from a fight. I placed him behind a building wall (full shield icon again) for about 35-40 squares from nearest enemy troop, he should be safe there, right? No, wrong, for some reason enemy troop could see him on that distance and scored a CRITICALL!!! shot thru the wall and killed my troop of course. Sniper issue: If you have a 90% hit possibility you should probably hit the enemy eventually, right? I saved the game and tried 10 times to reload and shoot, every time missed. And what to say about "Avatar troop" (about 25-30 health points)", teleports far away after every hit he gets, can mind control your troop, but yet you must kill him in limited time in order to fulfill objective. etc...

The first one was way better, still is.

Several awesome core game mechanics, but the time limit every level artificially forces you to constantly run headlong into ambushes and they removed controller support that is still available in the first game. Even at a 94% discount there's just no reason to play this over the superior original and it's expansion.
