I guess I just never liked how hectic XCOM 2 was compared to its predecessor, and I feel maybe even a little more strongly about this with the expansion. It doesn't help that the missions have sudden, sharp difficulty spikes either, and that when you're in Iron Man mode (which allows just one auto-save point) you can easily find yourself in an almost unwinnable situation. But while I was absolutely addicted to the first game and its expansion, I'm much less fond of the sequel for exactly this reason. Maybe I just don't have the time and patience to juggle all of this at once. Suddenly you have three different missions that are all top priority that you can't ignore, plus Dark Events going off and the main story mission drawing closer, half your best troops are wounded and now the other half are 's just too much. Sometimes you're trying to just gather some Intel or Supplies and five other notifications bombard you on top of research being completed and a facility being built. Little things really impact my enjoyment in big ways, like the need to go pick up Supply Drops. I know that hardcore players may give me grief over this, but there are times in XCOM 2 (vanilla and WotC) that I stop having fun and just feel overwhelmed. Also, a handful of ex-XCOM developers recently opened Bit Reactor, a new studio dedicated to turn-based tactics games.That's one area where I wish War of the Chosen had done more to change.
XCOM devs Firaxis are currently working on Marvel's Midnight Suns, a turn-based tactical game set in the bam-bif-pow world of DC Comics. The first game and the recent breach 'n' clear spin-off Chimera Squad are also discounted, and all thrown into a bigger bundle. In the usual Steam bundle way, that gets cheaper if you already own parts of it, so even for folks who own some that'll be the one to go for. The base edition of XCOM 2 is £2, or you can get that plus the DLC packs plus the expansion in a bundle for £5.59/€6.90/$6.99. Steam's free trial weekends usually end on Sunday, but Firaxis say this runs until Monday.Īlso on right now are daft discounts. I think I might have found 'XCOM 3' a mite more appropriate." Meero said in our written XCOM 2: War Of The Chosen review that the term 'DLC' "desperately undersells War Of The Chosen, this fat and bursting sausage of turn-based splendour. It really is a huge game-changing expansion.
