6About XCOM® 2
XCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year. Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet’s last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order. Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all. XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to XCOM’s mobile headquarters. New open-ended gameplay lets you decide where to guide your strike team, how to grow popular support, and when to combat enemy counter-operations. . RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS: Five soldier classes, each with its own skill tree, let you create specific soldiers for your tactical plan

The game is good, but all of a sudden the obligatory 2K launcher had stopped recognizing that I owned the game
The game is good, but all of a sudden the obligatory 2K launcher had stopped recognizing that I owned the game. Same happened to a lot of people who posted before me, I could only see the "buy" option instead of "play" and added this review to attract attention to the problem. This issue was resolved in one or two days. However, unlike other people, I will not change the review to positive as long as 2K launcher is there at all. When the game was sold, it launched directly from Steam, and only later was the 2K launcher added on top of it. So it was not part of the deal, and this situation shows that it is a risk factor. Therefore, I cannot take it upon myself to recommend buying this game on Steam as long as that risk is there. (edited to reflect the fact that the original issue was fixed)

A sequel to the amazing XCOM: Enemy Unknown
A sequel to the amazing XCOM: Enemy Unknown. XCOM 2 expands on it's predecesor in nearly every fashion. Strategy is deeper, the customization is deeper, and the layers of story that you build with your squad is as great as well have come to expect from the series. One of the biggest complaints that I hear are the mission timers. Thankfully, the developers at Firaxis have intergrated their own mod tools into the game to support modding, something the last game lacked. With these mods, you can disable those pesky timers, add customization options, or take yourself for a ride in the thrilling Long War 2

This game is amazing and improves upon Xcom enemy Unknown in every way however a word of caution: DONT USE THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2K LAUNCHER it breaks all the time it sucks instead go into the games local files D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\Binaries\Win64\Launcher (this is my example yourss may be in a different directory) but go to the launcher folder in Win64 and make a shortcut of the launcher, put it on your desktop right click and then go into properties under the target section go past \ModLauncherWPF.exe" put in a space then after that type -noRedScreens -review should look like this \ModLauncherWPF.exe" -noRedScreens -review launch the game from this shortcut and enjoy it how it should be.
