XCOM 2: Ranking Every Class From Worst To Best

One thing that would help balance out the story would be to include optional battles. In the demo there are side stories but they are just literally that, stories. Sometimes they result in a new recruit or item, but there aren’t optional battles in the volume that one would want in a demo. Final Fantasy Tactics certainly has plenty of opportunities for players to relax on the story and instead grind for loot, levels, or


The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is regarded by some to have the greatest open-world in the genre's history. It's easy to see why, as Breath of the Wild 's map wastes little space despite its enormous size, with things to do and see around every cor


Many TTRPG fans would say Wizards of the Coast 's Dungeons & Dragons isn't just a roleplaying game. Rather, it's also an intense strategy game in its own right. After all, players need to decide what their characters have to do in different situations. Moreover, Player Characters have moral alignments that usually give insights toward their perspectives in life or even in battle. As such, it makes sense for D&D combat encounters to become extremely intense even without the stellar graphics of modern ga


Sidequests in JRPGs can open up a lot of space for the player to gain access to additional in-game rewards such as items as well as allowing the spotlight to be put on side characters for further character development. As Triangle Strategy is being billed as a game built around a player's choices and decision making, sidequests could be used in a variety of interesting w


The Heavy Floater does not have the toughest armor, or a particularly high damage potential, but its special abilities more than make up for those deficiencies. The most exasperating ability is that Floaters can launch themselves to any location in the battle zone. This is annoying when a Heavy Floater is near death then launches out of range. They can also bombard an area, which usually negates the cover the player’s soldiers are hiding behind. Lastly, when they are airborne, a Heavy Floater can evade incoming fire; which lowers the accuracy of the player’s soldiers by


The cover art may not have any striking images or elements of foreshadowing like the previous entries, though it does exactly what it sets out to do; show the updated visuals in a way that will warm the hearts of the franchise's pre-existing fans while making it vibrant enough to stand out to those who had never heard of the series bef


The final nail in the coffin for story upgrades that this SLG game releases needs is a better balancing act. One would think Square Enix would be more interested in showing off its gameplay rather than its text for a demo. It seems someone was thinking the opposite because the few battles in here are about an hour apart each. Hopefully the final game won’t burden players so much with too much story all at o


Overall, XCOM 2 and the War of the Chosen expansion are well balanced when it comes to class viability. Nearly every class in the game offers a unique playstyle that makes certain situations less punishing or even favorable. From hacking giant mechs to blowing up entire buildings, here are all of the classes in XCOM 2 ranked from worst to b


XCOM 2 's cover has a far more minimalist design than the other entries on this list. The game's cover is extremely sinister, with the alien's face being made up purely of human skulls, letting players know straight away that this isn't going to be a wholesome Bandicoot -like adventure. Moreover, the morbid aesthetics and fact that the alien is looking straight at the viewer could be seen as an implication of the game's punishing difficul


There is some town exploration in the demo. However, it is truncated. Most of the time it seems players will click on a map icon in order to in initiate a battle, or a cutscene. In-between some battles or story beats intel can be gathered but these exploration moments are very brief. This lack of full exploration is common for tactical RPGs so it understandable why the full game would not add this feat


The 2D pixels on 3D pixelated backgrounds is a cool visual gimmick. It was one of the best things about Octopath Traveler. However, that game had some issues that have carried over into this game as well. The backgrounds, for one, are too dark. Even what seems to be the brightest of settings can look dingy because of the lighting. TV settings can only do so much so it would be good to see these backgrounds brightened, or touched up in any other


One of the first characters players will earn in War of the Chosen, Reapers are a stealth variant of Sharpshooters that are focused on dealing large amounts of damage from the shadows. More than that, their unique stealth mechanic allows them to sneak through groups of enemies with ease, lining up the perfect shot from a great vantage po


The worst thing for any RPG is for its combat to grow mundane, bland, or repetitive. As a tactical RPG, Triangle Strategy has the opportunity to feature numerous ways to spice up combat, from interesting map variety to differing win conditions that change from battle to bat
