XCOM® 2 is the sequel to the award-winning strategy game XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Earth has changed and is now under alien rule. Facing impossible odds you must rebuild XCOM, and ignite a global resistance to reclaim our world and save humanity. 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. ENGAGE IN HEAD-TO-HEAD MULTIPLAYER: Mix-and-match squads of humans and aliens and battle head-to-head on randomly-generated maps.Show More. Having played Enemy Unknown/Within, I believe that this game makes solid improvements coming from those titles.
The soldier classes are more interesting and well balanced. Every piece of gear in the game has its uses which gives players a lot of good options with how to approach any given mission. A lot of missions include a timer mechanic which discourages players from moving slowly and throwing everyone on overwatch (which could make any mission trivial in Enemy Unknown). It's definitely a challenging strategy game, especially when a 99% chance can still fail, but it's more rewarding as a result. An engaging game overall.

I didn't have many issues my first two campaigns, however my most recent campaign has gotten deadlocked by a glitch. This game is prone to crashes. Upon completing a mission, and either attempting to save or access to World View, the game will crash. This occurred from multiple save points in the same campaign and rendered it unbeatable as a result. Submitted on 1/13/2019 Review title of gfresh1991Love, Hate, Love ❤?♂️❤The frequent save bug error has just become too big of an issue for me to overlook anymore. The game crashes to the xbox home screen almost every other time you finish a mission and are attempting to save.
The game is hard enough to begin with, so this just adds insult to injury. It's sad, because I keep coming back to the game because the gameplay is so much fun. Definitely buy ONLY if it's on sale. I doubt Firaxis is going to fix this anytime soon. It's likely beyond the company's technical abilities and also their post development concerns. Submitted on Review title of CriticalFeedz98Constant crashingNearing the end of the game is a curse, constant crashes and black screens keep you from enjoying this excellent game. Gameplay is smooth and incredibly fun.
UPDATE reinstalled all files and game stopped crashing. UPDATE-2 WOTC came out, its pretty incredible, so many additions and crazy new features/items, but its all ruined by instability that the base game itself suffers from. Persistent soft/hardlocking renders this game unplayable. The consistent issues are insufferable, and nothing i do fixes it. Will give 5 if fixed.
But since i cant even play it without starting a new game (though i havent even tried that) it wont get a great rating from me. Restarted and crashes havent stopped, even after recent update.
