This is probably my favorite change between games. This is a great change as it really makes the play feel like they are doing something and making important decisions instead of sitting there waiting for something to happen. Should you make contact with a resistance cell in another part of the world? Go steal the supplies from Advent forces nearby? Or should you take out that black site in hopes of securing more soldiers, scientists or engineers? This is a massive switch from the previous game where players really couldn’t move around and all they could do is scan the world for trouble until trouble presented itself. In the command room is a holographic map of the world, and when looking at the it several choices are available at any given time. In this game your base is mobile, making you harder to detect and capture. Different locations gave different bonuses. In the previous game, players picked where they wanted their base to be. Where XCOM 2 really shines are with the improvements they made over the last game. If a soldier got injured in the field, they need time to recover.

It was also one of the first series to introduce recovery time for injured characters. Do you send in your most experienced? Or do you take a chance and send in a couple veterans and a couple of rookies? Keeping in mind that, of course, the veterans are better and have more skills, unfortunately, if they die you lose access to all their training and skills. This made players very cautious on how to use their squad, or even which squad mates to send in. This series was one of the first to use permanent death for squad mates. Whether the decision is one about what equipment to build, what tech to research, or giving orders to soldiers in the field your decisions make the game. XCOM, for those unfamiliar with the series, are military strategy games that have always been about decision making. Enemy Unknown was released in 2012, and a lot has changed and a lot has stayed the same. The XCOM program lives on in the form of a resistance. The biggest problem is they rule with an iron fist. Advent has completely taken over the world promising advanced tech, medicine and world peace. The alien menace has convinced the XCOM council to join them, now calling themselves Advent. Twenty years have passed since the conclusion of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and we lost.
