XCOM 2 Review

By Rishi Alwani (Feb 18, 2016)

Good
Better narrative
Addictive combat
Troop concealment

Bad
Too action-focused for some
Mission timers
Appalling PC performance

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is one of the best games in the strategy genre and it's easy to see why. The game had a stellar user interface that would give Jony Ive an inferiority complex, a tough but fair set of game rules, and an addictive flow of events that would have you playing till the wee hours of the morning. Is XCOM 2 a worthy successor?
