Even later in the campaign, when my troops donned alien armor and wielded high-powered weapons, I never felt safe. This dynamic permeated every mission during my time with the demo, tying the story and the gameplay into one cohesive knot. But in the sequel, the aliens have won, established a totalitarian government, and prospered on our planet for 20 years. In Enemy Unknown, we battled an alien invasion force as it arrived to conquer Earth. This narrative is XCOM 2's biggest change. XCOM 2 presents the same multilayered structure of Enemy Unknown, except with tougher obstacles, harder objectives, and a new storyline steeped in despair. Its turn-based squad tactics left little room for error, while high-level strategy elements demanded careful consideration from the commander's chair. XCOM: Enemy Unknown was one of 2012's most challenging games.
However, Firaxis gave me just enough new tools to fight my through seemingly impossible odds.
During the 12 hours I recently played of a near-complete XCOM 2, the game was brutal, and rarely gave me space to breathe. In a level meant to teach me the game's mechanics and intricacies, Firaxis' upcoming sequel killed off my four-person squad before I had time to start the actual campaign.
