XCOM 2 is one of the finest tactical strategy game.
It's entirely possible though that you've, still, never actually played XCOM 2. Or maybe you're like our guides editor Gina who only had it on console for some reason. Either way, I imagine you're just waiting for the right opportunity to pick it up and take it for a spin. How does a sale price of $4.80 / £2.80 sound?
That's right: until February 18 there is a 2K 'publisher sale' running on Steam, and Long War 2 mod – sequel to the highly popular Long War mod from XCOM 1 – is only available for the vanilla version of XCOM 2 and is definitely worth checking out because of what it brings to the table.
If you fancy spending a bit more though, there's an alternative bundle you might consider checking out. The War of the Chosen have now been withdrawn from general sale and are just folded into the collection for free by default.
The Long War 2 doesn't work with War of the Chosen, but it elevates the base game in similar ways to make it a more dynamic and flexible experience. Many of the ideas from Long War 2 have even been incorporated into the expansion, so whichever choice you make you're in for a great time.
