You might have to get used to the new classes (the biggest change, in my opinion), but there are enough improvements in this game to win you over (one of the biggest is undoubtedly the improved character customization options: You'll get so attached to your crew you'll want to restart every time one of them gets hurt.) There might be some bugs, and you might gripe about some other little things, but the core game is there. This is an excellent strategy game, simple as that.… Expand

   Great game, as long as you don't mind utilizing a quick save. That is an absolute must, unless you want to beat your head against the wall.Great game, as long as you don't mind utilizing a quick save.

   Turn based tactics, character development, research and base building, ideally combined

   XCOM 2 is surely a great game, however whether it surpass XCOM1 or not is still uncertain. I am XCOM's veteran and I really have good timeXCOM 2 is surely a great game, however whether it surpass XCOM1 or not is still uncertain. I am XCOM's veteran and I really have good time with XCOM2. While the battle system is still as satisfying as the same, the management system is changed a lot. Last time, you was in the underground base and intercepted alien UFO with your crafted combated airplane, now your base is within the huge airship, you choose the place to attack instead. It is quite opposite from original and I want to praise the team who come up with this fresh new idea. The graphic looks nice. Difficulty, however, is surely harder than XCOM 1. High cover is not as reliable as it was because most enemies have some skills that can hurt you in some way even you are in cover. Moreover, almost every mission has timer. Therefore, the most effective way to fight in XCOM2 is to go on full aggression, kill enemies before they have chance to retaliate. It is not bad concept but I prefer the old way to have balance in attack and defend. I believe Overwatch got nerfed as well.
   
   The story mission in XCOM 2 is not as good as XCOM1. I don't feel like I enjoy much of it. The new two managers in your ship (engineer and scientist) are not as memorable as the old ones. I love Dr. Valen and Shen more than these two guys. The ending is not satisfying.
   
   More importantly from my first playthrough, there were several time that my game was crash. Thankfully, the game has autosave so it did not hurt my progress. The freezing animation happened quite a lot. LOADING TIME IS TOO LONG, I must mention this. Loading time kills enjoyment of the game. It may be better to play with high spec PC rather than PS4
   
   DLCs are good so far. Strangely, I like the costume dlc which normally I never care about costume in any other game, don't know why.
   
   In summary, XCOM2 is still a good game. Without crash and long loading time I would give it 9/10, but in my opinion I still love XCOM1 more than XCOM2. I would suggest you to play XCOM2 on PC if you can. The graphic on XCOM2 looks very polished though. For those who never played XCOM1 before I highly recommend you to play XCOM 1 enemy within first, because the price is cheaper, the quality of enjoyment is on par or better and the difficulty is more suitable for new comers. If you like XCOM 1, just grab XCOM 2 and have fun. It is still good game nonetheless.… Expand

   Fantastic game, the combat system is awesome and allows for a lot of strategic play. The single player campaign is brutal however, the gameFantastic game, the combat system is awesome and allows for a lot of strategic play. The single player campaign is brutal however, the game punishes you for mistakes and sometimes way too harshly. If you have no experience with these types of games it is incredibly difficult for beginners unless you play on the easiest difficulty. The story-line is not that deep, and pretty bland and predictable. The loading times are frustrating too as others have mentioned. Only other criticism is that the game is quite repetitive, they could have done a lot more with mission objectives given the depth in characters and abilities.… Expand

   Could have been a great xcom game, but the turn limits ruin nearly every level. If it’s not a turn limit, then it is some enemy destroyingCould have been a great xcom game, but the turn limits ruin nearly every level. If it’s not a turn limit, then it is some enemy destroying some equipment in a few turn, that you need to advance.
   
   It almost seems like they ran out of time to make this game entertaining, and just slapped some cheap time/turn limits on.
   
   I love all other aspects of the game, but could never finish it due to these ‘features’. Deleted the game, and regret spending money on it. Without the limits, this game would easily be a ‘9 out of 10’.… Expand
