Twas a pree fun game while it lasted. But, if i must be perfectly honest, the first XCOM was much better., and ill point out why. In the 1rst game, the aliens invade the planet, and they have aliens dressed as humans, and there scouting and gathering information. In the 2nd game... somehow the humans are "semi" co-existing togheter, the aliens supply the police force known as ADVENT. For me, XCOM 2 has a much weaker story, and way of a dire importance to missions you do. In the first XCOM, right off the bat, you get to pick which country you play, which gives you a specific perk through-out the entire game, you get to slowly but surely gear up your weak soldiers, and you really felt there was a progression when you finaly beat a mission that would unlock various alien technologies that you would need for future combat. In XCOM2, altho fun, did not captivate me as much as the 1rst one. The researches were boring, weapons were mundane, and whenever i would research and get something "amazing" as they would make it to be, like a armor that makes you run through wall, i was already 3/4 done with the game, and i didnt really care about all the fancy new gadgets XCOM2 has over the 1rst game.

Ill give this game a thumbs up, altho no bad, there is no sideways thumb for a 50/50. If you wana get into Xcom, just buy the 1rst game. You WILL be happy with it.


6/10
