XCOM 2 has a lot of changes. The developers have reworked a lot of things. Here are a few of the amazing features of the game which are appreciable:




Customizable Characters

XCOM 2, is one of a type. Unlike other games where you are forced to choose among the existing characters, XCOM 2 does not coerce you to do this. The game provides you the ability to completely customize your own character from scratch.

Quite cool, right? The complete power to build your own character from scratch.

You can team up with your friends as a team in XCOM 2 which doubles the fun and excitement. Talking about customization, the game not only provides visual customizations but also character abilities.

Game Mechanics:

XCOM 2 has reworked mechanics. Now you are able to sneak past enemies or initiate attacks on patrols because no one is able to notify you when you begin a mission.

The reworked mechanics help you to execute a fatal ambush while keeping your squad hidden. The reworked map mechanics also keep you hidden until you get within a specific radius of the enemy, or open fire on them.

XCOM 2 is diverse, it offers you a lot of options and playing style. You can dash ahead without looking anywhere or go into Overwatch mode all alone and hit the highest-priority target in the group of enemies.

Combat Mechanics:

A lot of action games which are currently on the market have the same combat mechanics. Like, in most action games the enemy troops are deployed ahead of you, or in the nearby region. You have to assault and defeat them in order to win. Well, this isn’t the case with XCOM 2. The game demands a lot of efforts from you. You will have to give your best to win.
You have to think like a strategist. You’ll have to consider all the factors before you start open-firing on the enemy. You need to consider which enemy to kill first, what resources to use, etc.

XCOM 2 has implemented an easy to understand the new system which makes two moves per turn. In each round, the soldier can only perform two actions and move to a new position shooting with the acquired weapons. This helps you to move quickly around the map and help evacuate your team-mates who are under enemy fire.

Map Mechanics And Objectives

The map mechanics have been reworked too. The objectives of the game now consist of tracking the enemy’s newly built resources and destroying them to complete the objectives. You need to go around each region to track the enemy’s resources.

You start from a random location. You need to position and build your base accordingly so that you have an advantage over the enemy. You can make connections with various forces in various regions, collect supplies and execute raids against the enemies.

The map does not show warning markers, it is all up to you whether you choose to make risky moves like raiding enemies or defend and extract VIPs.
