No longer a clandestine, underground operation funded by various world powers, the new XCOM is a more agile guerrilla force stoking the fires of resistance. The XCOM project is back after 20 years of low-key, behind-the-scenes wetwork. Of course, there are some pockets of resistance out there – namely you.

A never-ending propaganda campaign and dubious gene-therapy programs have managed to convince large portions of the population into thinking the new overlords are benevolent saviors from the stars. It’s a stranger, scarier world where the aliens rule a global government. XCOM 2 is set 20 years after humanity failed to stop the alien invasion of Enemy Unknown. It’s a fantastic, but damn near-broken product. XCOM 2 still managed to win me over, but my tacit stamp of approval comes with more qualifications and provisos than most used car sales. I’ve had amazing fun navigating its battlegrounds, fussing over what perks to assign my soldiers, and panicking as the tiny blue dot called Earth seemed to be slipping through my fingers and into alien control.Īll too often though, that fun was sabotaged by game-breaking bugs, performance hitches, and a level of jankiness you just don’t expect from a sequel launching on a single platform. It’s frustrating because there is an absolutely fantastic game at its core, a total improvement on what was already one of the best turn-based strategy experiences of the last few years.
