    I really liked the original XCom game when it came out so I was hoping this second one would be even better than the original. It is a decent enough game, but it is not great. I got it for less than $15 so I am happy with it.

    Sometimes it's hard to REALLY know what a game is like, regardless of the on-line research, videos, etc. This wasn't really the type of game I was looking for, but BestBuy IS a fantastic place to do business with.

    Was eagerly awaiting this after thoroughly enjoying XCOM: Enemy Unknown on XBox 360, but I'm extremely disappointed. Buggy game play, interspersed with ridiculously long load times, it's become a struggle to just finish the game, forget actually enjoying it...

    I didn't make it much past the first two missions. It was slow, story was lame and the controls felt very boring and dull. I see that this game got great reviews so I think if your a fan of these style games you will enjoy but if not this is not a game to change your mind on.

    The price and best buy were great, but the game it self was lame. the controls and actions to play the game were so backwards it made the game annoying to play.

    A tactical turn based gem

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is one of the few turn based strategy games on the PS4. It's an amazing game. Earth has been overrun and subjugated, willingly, by an alien race. You are part of the resistance, tasked with taking Earth back and eliminating the threat. You lead squads of fighters through various missions, where speed is of the essence. Decisions you make affect the outcome, which is cool. Tons of customization, base building and RPG elements make this game a blast. However, it's got a few downsides I need to mention. Load times are horrifically slow the further you progress in the game. It's a very hard game, even on Rookie mode, so save often. Graphic are mediocre and its too choppy during cut scenes. The game constantly throws things at you simultaneously with random events and threats. It gets real annoying at times. Those negatives force me to remove a star. Don't let that dissuade you. It's still a great game, with a steep learning curve.

    This game is a very deep and engaging third person, turn-based, tactical strategy game. It manages to be deep and engaging while being fun at the same time. It can be quite challenging, but also very rewarding. The X-COM series is one of my favorite game series ever made!

    Strategic greatness

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This game is tons of fun with all of the turn based strategy of the first game but turned on its head with you getting the initiative and being able to set up ambushes should you not be spotted beforehand. The atmosphere is great, as "cyberpunk chic", and the goals of individual missions show more variety than the original. The DLC also offers a lot of options including optional super-enemies and various tech not in the original game.
