No matter the outcome of your previous campaign against the invasion, in XCOM 2 the alien ADVENT forces now occupy the globe, and after twenty years have brainwashed much of the human race into believing they have purified the world. The story pulls you in right from the action-packed tutorial. Holding true to its predecessor’s near-flawless mechanics was a relief, but could it spark any debate that XCOM 2 was little more than a glorified expansion? Thankfully, the answer is “No!” Not only does XCOM 2 improve the series’ staple design elements, but it expands the portfolio to add even more layers of strategy and choice. Thus, upon hearing that its successor, XCOM 2, would retain much of the original’s gameplay, my initial thoughts were… uncertain. I dedicated countless hours in my attempts to repel the alien invasion, utilizing every strategic avenue in XCOM’s multifaceted design. It’s near impossible to find a review of a similar game that fails to mention Firaxis’ magnum opus. Such was the case with myself and XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a game that launched only a few years ago, and yet has become the standard by which all subsequent turn-based tactical game are measured. You may even have pulled yourself away from that biased initial impression, uncovered some flaws and pondered personal improvements, and yet still found those blemishes superfluous against the far superior assets the game delivered. There are undoubtedly games in your history that you look back upon with fondness games that you remember being completely enamored with, soaking in every joyous minute.
