Publisher Yamilia Avendano: XCOM 2 sets off to accomplish two difficult tasks: make us forget the series faux pas that was The Bureau Declassified and surpass its predecessor, Enemy Unknown. In its endeavors, it greatly exceeds expectations on both counts and manages to be not only one of the best strategy games out right now, but also of all time. Oh, and it also manages to be the best game of February.
In XCOM 2, you take the role of a commander that’s leading a resistance group of humans up against the alien race that took over earth as Enemy Unknown ended. It gets a bit murky who are technically the bad guys. However, one thing remains constant among the base building, technology researching, and micro-managing; your imagination will run wild with the soldiers you dispatch.
And that’s just where XCOM 2 shines; its ability to make you care for and cultivate stories for a group of otherwise personality-less war fodder. They will grow or die under your command and it will be too emotional and edge-of-your-seat suspenseful for you to not look a little crazy.
It may be hard as hell, but its rewards will grant you some of the best 50+ hours in gaming right now.
