This new or just a dlc?

More DLC but its changing up a lot of the format.

Day 1 for me

April 23rd, $10

this game is dense as hell, so much content. each DLC is like a new game. honestly I've never even finished a game as I play on Ironman on the hardest difficulty and typically lose or rage quit but it's still piff .

EDIT:
This looks like a spinoff that is being labeled as a DLC, but it looks cool as the mechanics are we what are all used to.

Huge fan of this game. I was Apprehensive about getting this for the switch since this runs like ass on the 4. Theres definitely a big graphics down grade on top of stuttering and delays. But all in all it's a pretty solid so far.

This game is so hard and so frustrating much more than the first one, BUT

I......can't......stop.....playing.

XCOM2 is straight crack. I have to delete off everything because it’s one of the few games that I will play for 8 hours if I even load up

I feel like enemy unknown is harder overall from front to back. Chryssalids alone made that game hard if you didnt already know what you were getting into. The chryssalids in XCOM 2 are chumps in comparison. Enemy Within made the game easier.

The original XCOM 2 the easiest overall to me, WotC made the late game easier but the early game harder.

I beat the OG XCOM 2 and enemy within on the first shot, but enemy unknown and WotC both took me multiple tries to beat.

I'll say this, my squad is finally getting decent and the difficulty is more sheer numbers and the time limits. So you may be right, it might be easier on the back 9.

I found Enemy Unknown to be a lot easier (the second half of the game anyway) once you maxed out your snipers with field scout you could one-hit most enemies from infinite range. They understandably nerfed that class in the sequel.

True. But for a first time playthrough I'll give EU the edge for the hardest one
