I’m here to tell you that you should skip both of these earlier games and go straight to this new DLC.
My Twitter feed has been clogged with people asking me if they need to have played the original XCOM: Enemy Unknown or XCOM 2 to understand or even be good at War of the Chosen. Skip the original and start with this DLC Here’s what I wish I’d known going in, and a few tips for stepping off on the right foot. There are new features like Ability Points, new enemies like the Spectre and the Purifier and a couple of entirely new systems that aren’t terribly well explained. But it also throws a few wrinkles into the classic formula. XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is here, and by all accounts it’s the best version of XCOM ever made.
