You'll find yourself more time loading saves than playing the game, that is bad design.Rather than following the first game directly, XCOM 2 assumes that you lost the first game. You find that perfect spot for your sniper over a roof and the AI just shoots you from a sidewalk trespassing all floors, that is stupid. The AI is unfair too, they can see you all the time and hit you through walls. What I describe is manageable at the beginning of the game but after some hours the frustration starts to build up to the point where you are not enjoying the game anymore. It's stressing and feels unfair being always, no matter what, at disadvantage. Do you need to heal your squad after a tough mission? Recruit more because there is a "critical" mission (all the time somewhere) that If you skip, you'll lose more time and time is always running out. You are in need for more supplies and need to go get them? forget it, time is ticking. Are you planning to set up an ambush, time is ticking. Even in concealed mode the time keeps ticking. Are you planning to set up an Tactical strategy turn based game with timers, that is odd. Tactical strategy turn based game with timers, that is odd.
Oh my goodness what a year we have in store. And it is in infinitely better shape than most games when released. The only thing that slightly spoils it are a few buggy camera angles and some dodgy hang times, but you can forgive it that as they dont spoil the fun. I think this is probably the best looking turn based game we have ever seen. And i think that many different paths to victory will be possible. This game provides meaningful choices throughout so that you really dont know which way you want to go. Gone are the days of satellite spamming your way to victory. They have improved practically everything about the original. If you liked X COM the original, then you simply have to buy this. It looks gorgeous, it plays very well, and it is one hell of a challenge.
If you liked X COM the Quite simply the game is brilliant. Consistently on the run, the remnant XCOM forces need to find a way to regroup, expose the nefarious truth behind the occupation, and eliminate the alien threat for good. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Online those who live a the edges of the world have a modicum of freedom.
Now the aliens hold dominion over the Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while hiding a sinister intent below and eliminating all who don't fall in like with their new order. Now the aliens hold dominion over the Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, 20 years have passed since world leaders unconditionally surrendered to alien forces and XCOM, the world's last line of defense, was left destroyed and scattered.
