XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is integrated into the main game of XCOM 2, so don’t be surprised if you feel that the opening of the game is… no different from before.
It feels like the game just bombards you with choices and keeps your resources so thin that any little mistake sends the whole thing spinning out of control. Like I said, maybe I've just become a filthy casual, or maybe I just don't have the time these days to really devote myself to something this hardcore, but I kind of love how in Mario + Rabbids it's almost entirely about the battle tactics and you're not worrying about base management or keeping territories happy and there's no grim bald guy chastising you between missions.Īctually, I think I'd be happiest with a middle ground of some sort, wedged between the simplicity of Mario + Rabbids and XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. I don't necessarily want easier battles, but I would like less to manage in-between them. I've been playing this at the same time as Mario + Rabbids, and what I love about that game in contrast to this one is how low-stress it is. I guess I just never liked how hectic XCOM 2 was compared to its predecessor, and I feel maybe even a little more strongly about this with the expansion. It doesn't help that the missions have sudden, sharp difficulty spikes either, and that when you're in Iron Man mode (which allows just one auto-save point) you can easily find yourself in an almost unwinnable situation.
But while I was absolutely addicted to the first game and its expansion, I'm much less fond of the sequel for exactly this reason. Maybe I just don't have the time and patience to juggle all of this at once.

Suddenly you have three different missions that are all top priority that you can't ignore, plus Dark Events going off and the main story mission drawing closer, half your best troops are wounded and now the other half are 's just too much. Sometimes you're trying to just gather some Intel or Supplies and five other notifications bombard you on top of research being completed and a facility being built. Little things really impact my enjoyment in big ways, like the need to go pick up Supply Drops. I know that hardcore players may give me grief over this, but there are times in XCOM 2 (vanilla and WotC) that I stop having fun and just feel overwhelmed. That's one area where I wish War of the Chosen had done more to change.
