MysterD: ^ throws my opinion on XCOM Chimera Squad: I liked that and played that.
^ throws a question.
"Did you buy XCOM 2: War of the Chosen expansion? Firaxis' expansions (not DLC's) are often known to often be game-changers or major game-improvers."
(Side note - I got XCOM 2 base and War expansion backlogged on Steam).
Hooyaah: ^ *throws a reply*
I purchased XCOM 2 (base game only for $2.99 + tax) here at GOG now on sale!
^ Throws more thoughts, after Googling.
Looks like XCOM 2 with War of the Chosen installed is way deeper w/ WoTC installed and not as noob friendly - i.e. it's more tactical, more hardcore and not as easy.
Could be a similar situation of Gothic 2 Classic (with only base-game) vs. Gothic 2: Gold (with Night of the Raven installed).
Might be best to do XCOM 2 base first, then do XCOM 2 with War of the Chosen once you ain't a noob.
