    It’s still an addictive play on the Xbox One with overall good gameplay that is well presented and for it’s price, it’s excellent value.

    This is the sequel we wanted, a turn-based strategy game with tons of customization, new mission maps, upgraded graphics and voice actingThis is the sequel we wanted, a turn-based strategy game with tons of customization, new mission maps, upgraded graphics and voice acting while staying true to the Xcom universe and formula. Multiplayer is a long requested feature and the developers took the time to add environment graphics on enemy destruction and specialized skill sets for classes and a new ambush setting for beginning of the encounters. This game has replayability, looks great, and is a PC port that actually took the time to make it worth it on consoles. I would recommend this to all. Full Review »

    When will Firaxis treat their PC players with some respect and give us controller support since the UI can obviously handle it now? TheirWhen will Firaxis treat their PC players with some respect and give us controller support since the UI can obviously handle it now? Their argument was "it's a game made only for PC"...well, that's out the window now guys, hook us up please: I bought a Steam controller specifically for the game and it's just not that great: let me use my Xinput controllers please, I beg you. I put 9/10 as from what I played, that's how it felt with KB+M, but I can only play games for short periods of time on KB+M, so a controller update would be super welcome! Full Review »

    Eventho it's not perfect yet, i trust firaxis will fix the glitch and bug i encountered on day one, the controls work almost perfectly and theEventho it's not perfect yet, i trust firaxis will fix the glitch and bug i encountered on day one, the controls work almost perfectly and the fps altough not 60fps is still good for a recent game on xbox one, its so refreshg to play sitting on my couch instead of in front of my desktop. About the game itself it's as god as the first if not better. Timed mission didnt ruin the experience for me on the contrary. One of the best game of 2016. Full Review »
