Rock Paper Shotgun: RPS Recommended - "XCOM 2 is a classic in its own right and as good a sequel as I can remember."

Hi guys, our review is up as well.

http://www.gry-online.pl/S020.asp?ID=11005 (polish)

I gave it 8,5/10

Gameplay is amazing, my only complaint is that the camera works even worse than before and there's too much similiarty in mechanics/enemies/story compared to previous entries. If you wanted to see some inovations, well.... you won't find it here

Still, great game worth playing!

The Escapist - 9/10

Gamestar (Germany) - 88/100

Sounds good but a time/round limit on many missions is killer for me

Will update with more reviews once they get posted/go up.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Good lord, them some good ass scores!

RPS - "XCOM 2 is smarter, bigger and bolder, and an early contender for game of the year"

Habemus GOTY.

 

[peakish]

Sweet lord, I can't wait until Friday.

This and The Witness within two weeks of each other. 2016 starting strong.

[Alcoholikaust]

Sounds incredible-true GOTY contender for sure

 

[Human_me]

Wow, didn't expect it to be that high.

 

[Hektor]

YES YES YES MAKE ME HAPPY XCOM2 I WANT YOUR BABIES

 

[Warxard]

FUCK YES

 

[Tizoc]

I hadn't read them yet, will do soon, but I really hope the RNG isn't wonky >_>

 

[FelipeMGM]

Damn, February 1stand we already have two GOTY contenders

 

[maquiladora]

dam son

 

[TouchMyBox]

Fuck, I'm going to have to buy this at launch, aren't I?

 

[Noray]

Essential/10 is pretty good

 

[Dennis]

I was expecting great scores to be honest.

 

[Matush]

2016 is off to a great start in terms of quality of games, first Witness, now Xcom.

 

[Diancecht]

I was expecting great scores to be honest.

Yup. Seems about right to me.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Hell, even if it is just 'more XCOM' I already know I need to play this game.

Great scores. Have been mostly in the dark on this game aside from the GB quicklook.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

I'm so fucking sad I can't play this yet. The first one CONSUMED me in a way few games ever have.

And yet, I will read and watch all these reviews and make my anguish worse.

 

[ANDS]

No controller support? Are you kidding? Why do this? It was there front and center in the first game?

 

[ZeroX03]

Happy First of February. The new champion has landed.

You know shit's good when Polygon gives it an amazing score.

 

[CloudWolf]

I completely forgot that this game was coming out this week. I've got no money now, but in March this and Darkest Dungeon will be the first things I buy.

 

[Oppo]

i pray my mid 2011 imac will run this shit in boot camp mode. i needs more xcom.

 

[maquiladora]

There are more colors in an average review score than in this gif.

edit: Oh and these reviews mean I'll feel safe preordering the game. Can't wait to spend my weekend with this!

 

[GrantDaNasty]

GIMME GIMME GIMME!

Friday can't arrive soon enough!

 

[Random17]

Good scores, good news. Audio desync is odd but will hopefully be fixed quickly. I'm mostly excited about the mods that could make this game a solid 10/10.

Hahah give me some slack. I hate posting gifs and shit on my phone, just wanted to do it asap.

My reaction is both Dan's facial expression and Jeff's hootin' and hollering.

 

[Spacecowboy77]

Oh god, how the hell am I going to make it till Friday?

 

[UnrealEck]

Damn. Nice scores so far. Looking forward to playing it.

Ahahahahahahaha that reviewer got screwed by the "oh 80% or higher it's a sure fire" line of thinking. Sometimes you just get unlucky.

 

[Souless Squirrel]

Damn they are killing it with this entry I can't wait to pop some alien brains on friday.

 

[Sagittal]

Please sell well, it would be great to see a console port.

 

[Litri]

Ok, I'm buying it. Gotta finish Xenoblade Chronicles X first though.

 

[epmode]

Oh god oh god hurry up Friday. PRELOAD PLS, I WANT THIS ON MY PC NOWWWWW

 

[jon bones]
