    XCOM is a fantastic game and it really challenges you to play smart. Unfortunately the game's engine was very buggy on PC. Those issues are magnified when played on the switch. Very long load screen, lots of freezing/crashing, when on a mission with lots of lost the switch really struggles to keep up. I wouldn't even bother with the frame rate it always goes into the single digits everyXCOM is a fantastic game and it really challenges you to play smart.

Very long load screen, lots of freezing/crashing, when on a mission with lots of lost the switch really struggles to keep up. I wouldn't even bother with the frame rate it always goes into the single digits every animation. But if you can muster through all of that it is still a great game to play especially now since I can play without being on a PC or console.… Expand

    XCOM 2 is an amazing game and the PC version plays flawlessly with amazing graphics etc. Naturally I did not expect the technical side of things to be great however playing it on a handheld device got me tempted plus it was on sale for just 7.99$. However, what I did not expect was for the game to be horrible in terms of frame drops and loading times.

However, what I did not expect was for the game to be horrible in terms of frame drops and loading times. Coming from the PC version, the ~40 second loading times plus glitches during gameplay plus downgraded graphics may be too annoying for your experience. Big surprise for me as every other game in my library runs smoothly. My recommendation is to buy it on another platform if that is possible or avoid it and get Mario + Rabbids, which offers a similar experience and more fine-tuned for the Switch.… Expand

    The content is flawless, for a little under full game price you get over 50 hours of one of the beat tactical strategy gameplay. But the technical side disappoints. This is the worst console to Play this title. While framerate during gameplay is great, almost steady 30 FPS the load times arę irritating.

I don't know if IT is obły my idzie but I cannot put this game on internal memory - only SD which slows loading times. So it is great game but the loading times arę so irritating that I cannot recommend this one.… Expand

    The XCOM 2 Collection is a pretty welcome addition to the Switch library. It’s got a great reputation for a reason as being a key part of arguably the best tactical RPG series out there, and that reputation survives the game’s jump over to the Switch almost entirely intact.

    XCOM 2 Collection is the complete package, giving Switch players a chance to experience one of the best turn-based strategy games of all time. Not even a few technical issues can hurt the unparallel feeling of barely being able to succeed as you lead the resistance against hostile aliens.

    Strategy fans who prefer their XCOM on-the-go should consider this a must-have, so long as a huge download and minor bugs aren't deal-breakers. [Issue 1#1, p.56]
