I'm late to the party with this XCom 2 review.
I first played it when it came out nearly a decade ago and loved it, but I never managed to finish a campaign until today.
(That might say more about my stubbornness—or lack of strategic chops—than it does about the game.)

Recently, I decided to dive back in, this time taking a slower, more deliberate approach on the strategic layer—the geoscape—and it paid off big time.
Maxing out my troops’ tech felt rewarding and gave me the edge I needed.

XCom 2 is a finely tuned masterpiece, nailing the mix of strategy and tactics.
It’s downright addictive!
