Here's a full Age of Empires 4 multiplayer match Village people. Ghost Rider! The Hunter? Still, when a friend of mine asked if he should pick it up, I recommended it without hesitation. As a complete package, it was hugely satisfying, particularly in the way that it told its story. I really couldn't put it down over the course of my first 40 hours or so with it. But here's the thing: I'm not sure I would play it again.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's actually much more replayable than the first game, which was more linear and thus less dynamic and interesting though still pretty great.
I was the good kind of exhausted, but still exhausted. The first is Alien Hunters , an expansion that introduces alien bosses who will pop up out of the blue in random missions. They are terrifying, powerful, and often able to take multiple turns. They make for great foils, but with the caveat that their demise makes the final mission that much more disappointing since there's nothing that comes close to reaching their level.
The second expansion is Shen's Last Gift , which lets you add awesomely poewrful death robots to your party. These robots function as mobile cover and bring with them a fantastic arsenal, making them very much worth the effort to build. Both expansions are best experienced over the course of a new game; so if you're planning to start up a new run, you should grab the expansions first. That said, neither is essential, and you could even argue that they have the effect of unbalancing the difficulty a bit.
Mostly, they're worth picking up if you want to change things up a bit. The PC version is actually quite resource intensive, limiting its appeal to those who have powerful gaming rigs, so it's good to have an alternative. And happily, it still looks and plays just fine on console.
Some will complain that the controller is more cumbersome than the mouse and keyboard, but it's not hard at all to get your soldiers into position, especially with XCOM 2 being turn-based. The biggest sacrifice the console set will have to make is modding, which is what really extends XCOM 2's lifespan. But while it's not ideal—especially with modding becoming more prevalent in console games—it's not a terrible sacrifice to make for more accessibility.
Ultimately, it depends on where your priorities lie. Regardless, this is all the excuse you need to play a great strategy game. Senc View Profile View Posts. I got the base game on both platforms, which one should I play? Last edited by Senc ; 7 Jun, am. Showing 1 - 5 of 5 comments. Murion View Profile View Posts. Originally posted by Murion :.

And even if you dont use any mods, its all open for you to modify the core game yourself.
