After all, having a game like XCOM on the go sounds amazing! Unfortunately, XCOM 2 is one of the most lackluster Switch ports that I’ve played. Given its level of replayability and intense tactical gameplay, I was excited that XCOM 2 was coming to Nintendo Switch. With XCOM 2, one playthrough is far from the full experience with a difficulty change and procedurally generated levels, each playthrough is entirely different from the last. Its procedurally generated levels, challenging difficulties, DLC expansions, and the modding scene has managed to keep players invested in the game long term. I’d say that XCOM 2 is undoubtedly one of the best turn-based tactics games of the last decade. In fact, XCOM was really my introduction into turn-based tactics, a genre that I love and that XCOM 2 dominates. I felt horrible when my units died, and screamed with rage when they missed high accuracy attacks. I fell in love with its tense moments, challenging tactics, and base building.


XCOM was one of the first PC games to hook me.
