XCOM 2: War of the Chosen Review

This review was weak. This is an entire overhaul of the game, and my favorite game of all time. It's pretty much XCOM 3. Oh and also, the voices. RIKER, Q, TROY, YAR, AND WORF!!!! This expansion solidified XCOM 2 War of the Chosen as the best game ever.

On sale on Xbox $90 off completel edition

100/100

I'm loving it so far, was 5 on switch so bought it there

Everything In WOTC is amazing, my only problem is that it's very anticlimactic when you kill all the Chosen

This game may have a lot of content, but it was NOT designed for you to enjoy. Cant do a supply run without being nagged to death with mission here mission there.

Xcom 2 2

Xcom 2 WotC is my 2nd favorite game. If you become committed to beating it on Legend Ironman, you’ll never get bored of it until you beat it.

They didn’t do any relation management with the rebel factions?

Vox talla for 8.8

Whoever added the Chosen during missions should be set on fire.

The reaper is the most useless class in this expansion, it's damage is insanely low to take out a lot of enemy times especially with armour, the stealth system for the reaper is pointless in the grand scheme of things. Subbing out a sniper for a reaper for a mission doesn't make sense. I usually use my reaper for the covert missions only.

nice review thx

Guys, at least this game isn't going near fortnite or fallout 76. A 8.8 is better than what 76 got

love this franchise and cant wait to play ;)

8/10 too much aliens

lol "the game gets boring after 100 hours"

" missions get stale"

HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA

so XCOM 3...

Dan Gapeleton is a commie.

So there is a bunch of new machanics and enemys BUT no more stroy elements? So this makes no sense to play again if i already played the story before. I hoped for a new campain and not to play everything all over again.

They didn't mention it's constant crashes, and lockups. It's load time is really long too. So, having to restart often coupled with a long load time definitely detracts from a very good game.

I don't like it. It's all over the place and you are bombarded by too many little things that overwhelm and distract you constantly.

Taken from another poster on Reddit about the game. This statement sums up all my aggravation about WOTC.

"Last, it just feels overstuffed. A lot of new mechanics make it feel like they just threw every idea they had in the game, making for a million interruptions on the boring strategy layer, where choice is an illusion. The game throws so many new features at you, from bonds, to covert missions, to resistance orders, to fatigue and negative traits, only for you to realize most of them are meaningless and can be either given cursory attention or ignored altogether. They really should have taken a less is more approach, as they stuffed so much in the game, that almost none of it feels, or actually is, necessary or important.

All in all, War of the Chosen has some good ideas, but like an overstuffed novel spends way too much time on time consuming fluff and it desperately needed an editor. A huge misstep from a developer that usually knocks it out of the park. I hope going forward, if they plan on making a third game, they abandon both the overstuffed approach, and the canon they have created as some kind of terror from the deep or trans dimensional threat seems like it's either just a shitty scenario (TftD) or too far away from what makes XCOM, XCOM."

6/10 too many aliens

I've played this 79 hours I though I was ok, but the depth is crazy now. That's pretty impressive to have a game longer than I am able to have time to play

Why aren't XCOM 2 DLC available for PS4???

Despite the strange 8.8 rating, this is definitely an expansion worth buying. BUY IT!!

why no work on xbone? delayed again?

The reviewer's comments sounded much more negative than the 8.8 score.

How did this get less than Black ops 3, Advanced Warfare and get the same as Ghosts

Does it have the super duper excitingly enjoyable timer based mission?

All i wanna know is, have they fixed the extra random skill you get from the Advanced Warfare Center? I thought that was a very stupid mechanic. I would get my top Colonel ranked soldier with a shitty skill, that hurt so much when my number 1 sniper got Salvo ....the horror.

It's too much.

XCOM2 is insanely hard game. I couldn't even play it on easy.

Dan is the worst reviewer at IGN.

The cohesion system is not super confusing. It's really simple. Characters who work together and share similarities gain bonds that can be strengthened off the field for a bonus when they are together.

So far amazing
But just got a huge crash that I can't even load
Wasted 10 hours

İs it deleyed on ps4?

Cross it over with rabbids and then I'll get it.

I've actually figured out ways to take on Rulers with out soldier losses (Except for the last archon ruler has always managed to indirectly kill one of my veterans)

Though admittedly I always came into a mission expecting to take on a ruler.

-turtle hop my squad - half set to over watch and move my ranger(s) forward with a frost grenade ready to go so when the ruler charges in they get some overwatch shots on them and I can freeze it and reposition the remaining squad spread out.

-always bring a grenadier for armour shredding and if possible get them to shoot first/ handy if they also have holo targeting for the rest of the squad to soften up the ruler.

when the ruler is about to escape - I Actually don't shoot it.
This prolongs the time for the third and last ruler to appear and give me more time to level up and give me squad the best gear.

Before the ruler nerf updates I managed to just have only one soldier casualty to the last ruler all on Ironman.
Still very sad to have my. Veteran soldier die though.

Who came here because of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle ? :P

curse you damn ign

So is this dlc going to be hard af? Kind of thought the rulers in the hunt were op

8.8

ok

You don't have to use the characters from the story mission. Those intro missions are like all the others-- you can turn them off and you'll get a randomly generated faction character.

DLC of the year??

Amazing game, bad review
