Technical Issues Hurt an Otherwise Fantastic Sequel 0
XCom 2 is a fantastic game and easily a Game of the Year Candidate for 2016.If only it was that simple to summarize XCom 2. XCom: Enemy Unknown was a wonderful surprise back in 2012. It rightfully won numerous Game of the Year accolades thanks to its combination of relentless challenge and addictive gameplay. Four years later, Firaxis has released a sequel that in many tangible ways improves upon an already fantastic game. And yet, numerous technical issues mar an otherwise excellent game.As man...

An amazing strategic masterpiece if you can tolerate the numerous bugs 1
Reviewing XCOM 2 almost 5 years after its release is both a blessing and a curse. It’s great to play XCOM 2 at its greatest potential with all of the DLCs including the War of the Chosen add-on. XCOM 2 is a complex, challenging strategic game with potentially hundreds of hours of enjoyable gameplay. It’s unfortunate to report that even with XCOM 2 at its apex, the game is horrendously buggy, especially when playing vanilla XCOM 2 (without the War of the Chosen add-on). The previous g...

Xcom Enemy Unknown... and then some 0
It's got all the joy of the first game with significantly more customization and replay value. Ever since I beat Xcom EU on normal I have stuck with playing any Xcom games on Ironman on hard.

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is my definitive XCOM experience 0
From left to right, Ben Pack, Kate Welch, Brad Shoemaker, Alex Navarro, Amarisse Sullivan, and Dan RyckertDespite how much I loved the original XCOM: Enemy Unknown, I only recently picked up XCOM 2 and its expansion, War of the Chosen. Two weeks and 60 odd hours later, I finally finished my first XCOM 2 campaign. While there is still some of that XCOM jank here and there, for the most part I loved my time with XCOM 2: War of the Chosen and consider this game to be even better than its predecesso...

Why adjust the difficulty slowly when you can just crank it up to 15 0
It feels like they cranked the difficulty up to 15. I only completed the first few missions, and I always lost at least one member of my team. Sometimes two. And I am not running around like rambo trying to blow everything up. I feel like I am severely out gunned in the first few missions, and I just don't have the energy to deal with this many enemies that can cause that much damage from that far away. I might change my review later if I can get further, but I doubt it. I tried turning down the...
