The game crashes CONSTANTLY. When the game works (which is intermittently) its a lot of fun, with a lot of good added content compared to the first. The load times are terrible though,, so when you get a crash you will be sitting on your hands for ten minutes before you are playing again. You can improve this by turning off the auto-save feature. For some reason this reduces crashes.
DO NOT TRY TO PLAY IRONMAN. The game also has a nasty habit of deleting saves, and on Ironman you only have one of those. You're SOL when its gone. Or you wind up stuck with a recurring crashing bug, and have to reload back several missions to before it cropped up in your game. Can't do that on Ironman.
Whoever shipped this without fixing the massive amount of crashing bugs really deserves to be fired...out of a cannon into the sun. I truly pity anyone who paid more than $20 for this.

XCOM 2

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen
The XCOM 2: War of the Chosen expansion adds extensive new content in the fight against ADVENT when additional resistance factions form in order to eliminate the alien threat on Earth.

Amazing Game, Amazing Physical Collection
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019
I love turn based strategy in general, but I was new to the X-COM series, and I did not know what to expect. I am really happy I decided to try this game! First, this collection comes with two discs that include both games and the add-ons. There are no "redeemable codes" for digital content (which I hate, as they can only be redeemed once in one account).At the time of this review I have completed the X-COM2 base game, and I loved every second of it. The strategy of the game is deep, and the customization of characters is enough to make me feel that my squad was truly unique. The resource/base management outside of combat is interesting enough to keep me engaged, without being complicated to distract me from the core of the game (the skirmish style battles). I felt that the game always gave me enough things to do to keep me busy, even too much at times, and I ended spending 25+ hours to finish my first playthrough without even realizing it.I have not yet played War of the Chosen. For those not familiar, is not really an extension of the game, but more of a revamp. It tells the same story in a different way, and add new units and mechanics that are enough to make it feel like a different game.
