XCOM 2 Review

I've held off on reviewing XCOM 2 for quite some time now - mainly because I wanted to give the game a little time to settle in with a patch or two, given that the game appears to have suffered from some performance problems for some users. Instead, I wrote about why RPG fans should care about this brilliant tactical strategy game - but at this point I've gone as far as I can without putting a score on it.

Even with those smaller issues noted, it's telling of the quality of XCOM 2 that I put some 80 hours into it over such a short period of time. It twists what players know about the series in brilliant new ways but also remains familiar enough that it certainly isn't throwing the baby out with the bath water. It takes one of the best games in recent years and makes it better on almost every front. Even if you have to endure performance issues, what XCOM 2 has to offer is well worth fighting through them for.

Score: 9/10
