You can snap it up for <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/game\/xcom_2_war_of_the_chosen\" target=\"_blank\">$4.70\/\u00a33.50<\/a> on GOG as well. That brings the total price of the game up to around $7.10\/\u00a35.30. If you&#8217;re where I am, at least, that&#8217;s considerably less than takeout.<\/p>\n<p>You might also want to throw the Reinforcement Pack on top, which gets you some extra gameplay content and cute mechs to add to your squad via Shen&#8217;s Last Gift\u2014luckily that&#8217;s also discounted and currently around <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/game\/xcom_2_reinforcement_pack\" target=\"_blank\">$4.30\/\u00a33.20. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re at all interested in turn-based tactics or tactical strategy games and haven&#8217;t played this milestone of the genre yet, I seriously recommend it. No game&#8217;s ever quite made me feel like XCOM 2, and I feel it&#8217;s the closest you can get to the TTRPG experience without an actual table.<\/p>\n<p>The emergent storytelling that comes out of high-risk missions, where luck can make or break your squad, is downright excellent. Storylines of tragic sacrifices, nail-biting victories, and horrible defeats emerge simply from Firaxis&#8217; insistence that luck is never 100% on your side. That 5% matters, people.<\/p>\n<p>If you do take XCOM 2 for a whirl, I very much recommend naming all of your soldiers and spending some time customising them. Not for vanity&#8217;s sake, but because the more you personalise your squad, the more you&#8217;re gonna be deliciously heartbroken when one of them bites the bullet to an errant crit.<\/p>\n<p>Or a tactical blunder, though if you&#8217;re in my post-alien-war court martial hearings? You didn&#8217;t hear that from me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also highly recommend XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the prior game in the series. It&#8217;s not quite as feature-full as the first game, but still incredibly engaging\u2014and you can snag both the base game and the Enemy Within expansion for chump change at <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/game\/xcom_enemy_unknown_complete_pack\" target=\"_blank\">$6.70\/\u00a35<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to hear more about what we thought about XCOM 2 we can take out, you can read our <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/xcom-2-review\/\">review<\/a> from 2016, where Tom Senior wrote: &#8220;In 1989 Sid Meier described games as &#8216;a series of interesting decisions.&#8217; XCOM 2 is the purest expression of that ethos that Firaxis has yet produced.&#8221; I agree whole-heartedly, not just with that assessment, but with the sterling 92 score Tom gave it, too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"2c51b0bf-ecbe-4a70-b074-16ccbb4eb991\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Steam sale dates\" data-dimension48=\"Steam sale dates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:550px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"dmLfcTEceHMYUpsciYxiDT\" name=\"steam rpgs\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/xcom-2-is-2-40-and-its-excellent-dlc-war-of-the-chosen-aint-far-off-making-the-all-time-tactical-strategy-great-cheaper-than-takeout.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/steam-sale-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"2c51b0bf-ecbe-4a70-b074-16ccbb4eb991\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Steam sale dates\" data-dimension48=\"Steam sale dates\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Steam sale dates<\/strong><\/a>: When&#8217;s the next event?<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/epic-games-store-free-games-list\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Epic Store free games<\/strong><\/a>: What&#8217;s free right now?<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: The best freebies you can grab<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-free-games-on-steam\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free Steam games<\/strong><\/a>: No purchase necessary<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/strategy\/xcom-2-is-usd2-40-and-its-excellent-dlc-war-of-the-chosen-aint-far-off-making-the-all-time-tactical-strategy-great-cheaper-than-takeout\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XCOM 2 is one of the all-time greats\u2014a nail-biting tactical strategy game that ruthlessly taught us all the difference between probability and certainty.
