XCOM 2 is good. It is. Fun stuff. Really. Adam’sXCOM 2 reviewin 2016 called it “a classic in its own right and as good a sequel as I can remember.” But I’m being a little reserved because oh goodness me it is so, so, so much better with its expansion, War Of The Chosen, which isn’t included in the freebie. Yeah, XCOM 2 is nice. But XCOM 2: WOTC is fantastic. I’m in the final few missions of a WOTC game myself and have completed all the expansion and DLC missions, leaving me with a game that… it’s nice, it really is, but cor WOTC is a right beaut.
If you do want the whole shebang, the Epic Store is currently offering an 80% discount on a pack with XCOM 2’s expansion and all the DLC packs. Grab the base game for free and you can upgrade to get the rest for only £7.99. That discount lasts until the 28th. It’s more expensive thanthe Steam discountin February but still a great price.
