Capcom Didn’t Expect Lady Dimitrescu’s Massive Popularity. can take up to a full minute to make decisions. It runs like a small dog constantly stopping to sniff something vile. XCOM 2, and particularly War of the Chosen, has a poor reputation for console ports. So I started up a console save on the side - specifically on my PS5. But I couldn’t get enough playing just once or twice a week. I’ve mostly been playing again on PC (while streaming to the lovely Fanbyte community). Until the game throws new enemies with new tricks your way. Just one fight against the occupying invaders can be the domino that turns you into a tactical genius with all the right tools. The overwhelming sense of power progression, as you develop from some nearsighted goobers with knives to psychic hunter-killers with robots and rayguns, against ever-escalating weird creatures is one-of-a-kind. But its War of the Chosen expansion - which practically transforms the alien resistance sim into an entirely new, more story-driven game - had me hooked for longer than I care to remember. The top-down, turn-based tactics game from 2016 has been through its share of ups and downs.

This version of the game is pretty solid and well worth your attention if you don't have access to a gaming PC - it's one of the best games of the year. XCOM 2 is such a good game that it's worth suffering through some bad load times for, though. For an idea of how long the load times take, there's an unedited one in the video above, but they're over the minute mark. Save-scumming certainly won't be nearly as popular a tactic in this version of XCOM - and some might consider that, at least, a bonus. 
The game already suffered some pretty inexplicably long loads even loading off an SSD on PC, and so on console they're even longer still. The one major catch for XCOM 2 comes with its load times.
I personally prefer a keyboard and mouse, but for a turn-based game like this there are some who'd actually make the argument that a controller and a comfy couch are better, especially with a control scheme like this. The controls are similar to those used in the console and Vita version of Enemy Unknown, which were also decent. Most important of all, the pad-based controls are tight and smooth to use. XCOM 2's console port doesn't look quite as nice as the PC version for obvious reason, but it doesn't feel like a compromised version of the game. The video above is of the PS4, but we've tested the Xbox One version as well and found performance similar between the two. If videos are less your thing, let me give you a brief text-based run-down here: It runs pretty well.
