I played through Enemy Unknown in a manner so cautious that it could have been mistaken for cowardice. Each class of soldier, from the heavy weapon slinging Grenadier, to the Specialist with his remote-controlled robot buddy, bring a bevy of skills and potential strategies to the table without any one play style seemingly superior to any other (except maybe pistol drawing Sharpshooters, they’re crazy). ![]() While the basic framework is the same (an isometric view over a battlefield divided into grids for movement and positioning), the level of depth and the number of tactical options at your disposal have been greatly expanded. The meat and potatoes of XCOM 2 is every bit an improvement on Enemy Unknown and its expansion. Who would have thought it would be so hard to liberate humanity from intergalactic oppressors? You can delay their progress and even set them back by targeting AVATAR black sites and plot-based missions, but it can be surprisingly tricky to manage when you’re busy spinning so many other plates at once. Let them finish whatever it is they are working on, and it’s all over for humanity. The development of the AVATAR project essentially places a doomsday clock on the world.

The now jet-setting XCOM is pulled in more directions than ever and it lends a great sense of urgency and tension to every decision. You’ll need to plan ahead and make a few smart concessions the world of XCOM is not a world of plenty and you’ll always be short on something. Base building is much the same as before with limited space and virtually unending demands. Unlike the previous XCOM HQ, which needed to be expanded by deep excavation into the earth, the bulk of the Avenger’s potential space is taken up with (somehow) still smoldering bits of alien wreckage and junk that needs to be cleaned out before you can build over it (in a nice touch, clearing out that debris actually generates currency in the form of alien supplies). You won’t be infiltrating your way through entire missions Solid Snake-style.Īs a repurposed alien ship, the Avenger has its own quirks. However, as a system it doesn’t feel fully fleshed out or involved. Sneaking up on the aliens allows you to cherry pick your first shot for maximum damage and adds a nice extra strategic layer to the experience.
