I wanted to return to it many times as well. I have played some of the multiplayer and it's pretty good , but it's a bit less "free" than the single player open world stuff. Hmm...it just feels like such a commitment to start over and the whole progress bit is kind of gone when you've finnished it once earlier.

Okay , I've played a whole lot , and I can safely say that this expansion turns XCOM 2 from a decent game to an excellent one. It's really amazing !

I hope this gets some attention from the giant bomb guys. I know they didn't love XCOM2 , but I hope @alex or someone else gives this a chance.

depends on what you prefer. A mind fuck puzzle/exploration game, or whatever xcom 2 is (wikipedia says turn based tactical game, so I'll go with that). Personally I have no interest in strategy/turn based games, and love puzzle/exploration games, so my vote is for the witness.

You should know that the witness isn't a basic puzzle game like it might seem. The amount of rules you have to keep track of and the level of insanity you have to go to to piece things together can be intense, possibly frustrating (I haven't felt frustrated yet), and deeply rewarding (for me, at least). People will probably think I sound like a douche bag, but if you're not willing to throw yourself into the witness 100%, you probably won't like it. It's all or nothing.

Also, from what I can tell (haven't beaten it yet) there isn't a meaningful narrative in the witness, so don't expect much in that department.

To give you some insight into if XCOM is any good (this is directed at rongalaxy), the first one was a GOTY contender on this very website a few years ago. The second one looks great from the preview footage , but wait for the reviews for some real insight.

I really started to love the bombing the AM videos after a while. I always appreciated your intelligence and point of view in all the discussions you were involved in on the site (latest in the GOTY stuff), even when I didn't agree with it.

Keep up the good work Patrick.
