I sent Catelyn Stark and Yara Greyjoy on a mission to rescue a previously captured soldier (I swear I’m not trying to spoil anything from the show, this is just what happened!), and after things took a turn for the worst Catelyn and Yara carried two unconscious squadmates to the evac point.
XCOM 2 WAR OF THE CHOSEN BONDS FULL
War of the Chosen is full of little emergent narrative moments like this. That connection was somewhat strained when a mind controlled Arya killed Cersei with a sword, but I got the chance to see the psychological damage the loss of her bondmate did to Arya, so I guess it was worth it…right? Thanks to the game’s new bond system, which allows soldiers who go on a lot of missions together to develop a relationship that makes them both stronger when fighting on a squad side by side, I got to see Arya Stark and Cersei Lannister develop an early connection. This time around, I went with names from Game of Thrones. Previously I’ve used Key and Peele’s football names as inspiration, which provided some laughs in the midst of the horrors of war. Whenever I’m playing a campaign in XCOM 2, I like to pick a naming theme for my soldiers. War of the Chosen adds new elements to the soldier personalization side of XCOM 2, most notably in the form of Bonds, ability points, and psychological stress, as well as adding a good number of new cosmetic options based on the game’s resistance factions (more on those later). Each of these elements works well on their own, but when taken together they significantly ramp-up the soldier management side of the game, adding new strategic wrinkles and considerations that complicate your choices at every turn in a satisfying way. It’s brutal, and painful, and it gives the game a tense edge that works so incredibly well.
XCOM 2 WAR OF THE CHOSEN BONDS UPGRADE
It gives you the tools to carefully craft and upgrade a few dozen soldiers, it gives you just enough to distinguish them and make them memorable (especially if you have the Anarchy’s Children and Alien Hunters expansion with additional cosmetic upgrades), it gives you a chance to watch them grow from enthusiastic recruits to hardened sci-fi super soldiers…and it kills these soldiers without mercy. This is one of the major appeals of XCOM 2, something the game does so much better than other titles in the same genre. So many of them die, and you can’t bring them back, and it’s all your fault…” They get stronger as they go through missions, but they can get hurt…and they die. You have these soldiers with names, and personalities, and you can customize their armor and weapons and everything. Whenever someone who hasn’t played XCOM asks me about the series, I always say something like this: With War of the Chosen, XCOM 2 adds significant mission variety and emergent story telling elements to its punishing tactical turn-based core, providing dedicated fans with a number of interesting new challenges and becoming the new baseline XCOM 2 experience for anyone experiencing the game for the first time. The latest expansion, War of the Chosen, overhauls much of the early and mid-game experience through the addition of new enemies and new soldier traits, and builds on the success of previous expansions to create something truly special. In a game like XCOM 2, the strongest characters can often be the simplest, here's a little refresh to help both new and expert players of XCOM 2 make an overpowered strike team.XCOM 2 originally released in early 2016, and in the year and a half since then it has seen several additional content releases that have taken it from a strong game to an all-time-great one. Updated March 8th, 2021 by Gene Cole: While this list originally gave a very detailed list of the best and worst classes for higher-level players, many new players might find that the best strategies are too complicated and difficult to use. From hacking giant mechs to blowing up entire buildings, here are all of the classes in XCOM 2 ranked from worst to best. Nearly every class in the game offers a unique playstyle that makes certain situations less punishing or even favorable. Overall, XCOM 2 and the War of the Chosen expansion are well balanced when it comes to class viability.

This turn-based strategy game is all about fighting aliens with personalized soldiers in strategic combat. Few games can get as intense as an ironman run of XCOM.
