The percentage of shots in XCOM 2's early game will often prove unreliable. Grenades will be useful to deal guaranteed damage and to destroy enemy cover, helping the rest of the squad land a hit. Killing an enemy with any kind of explosion will destroy any loot it might drop, so it should be avoided unless absolutely necess

There'll always be some luck involved in an XCOM game, but many attacks will just miss when you most need them and your Ranger can often just end up killed if any move fails. As a result, they can be extremely risky without a whole lot of extra upgrades and attention put on t

Or at least, that's what you'd hope for. The Psy-Operatives cost a huge amount of your resources, and very few of their abilities end up working against certain opponents. If you can take the time building it up, it'll often be quite helpful and will definitely appear as an all-star, but for the most part these classes aren't exactly vital necessities for your t

The Mutons are some of the most difficult enemies to defeat in every XCom game. Muton Elites are enhanced to make them even more formidable. They have some of the heaviest armor in the game, and a very high health rating. Muton Elites are armed with heavy plasma cannons; which can kill even a heavily armored soldier with one shot. Elites are also armed with explosive grenades which can negate the cover the player’s soldiers are using. They also have a suppression ability which can gives them an attack of opportunity during the player’s turn. Sometimes it seems like Muton Elites are invulnerable; which not only affects the morale of the player’s soldiers, but the morale of the pla

Project Octopath Traveler was one of the first games shown for the Nintendo Switch. While it did eventually go to SLG PC Games, it remains one of Nintendo’s bigger console exclusives. Now that team at Square Enix is back with the same strategy in a new 2D game in

Ethereals are the leaders of the alien forces. They have numerous, and powerful psionic abilities that can cause havoc among the player’s squad and deliver significant damage. Their deadliest abilities are the ability to control the minds of the player’s soldiers, and the ability to drain a soldier’s health and heal itself at the same time with its Psi Drain. To make them even more difficult, Ethereals have the Hardened trait that makes them highly resistant to critical hits. Ethereals also have a devastating one-two punch with their Mindfray, which lowers a soldier’s Will, and their Rift ability which deals extra damage to a soldier with a low Will sc

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

Sharpshooters can be played as gunslingers, masters of pistols and quick aim. This is an underrated option for many players, as it can give you a great way to deal with low-health enemy swarms like the Lost in the zombie horde levels of the expansion p

According to Eurogamer , the game's prototype was a complete failure. This version of the game lacked cover, used a movement and action point system similar to the original UFO Defense , and also had Enemy Unknown's host of class and weapon systems that cluttered the game more than helped. Even though it took a year to develop, Firaxis deemed the prototype to be below standard and started from scra

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

Their power only continues as you get into their special equipment . Claymores are also at their disposal to take out cover and weaker enemies, while their Banish ability allows them to empty their entire magazine into an enemy. There is virtually no reason to not have a Reaper in your party, as they do everything a Sniper does with significantly more power in their unique activated abilit

A reveal trailer was shown in 2010 to mixed reception. Fans thought the game was not true to the XCOM name with aliens being black blobs of goo instead of classical extraterrestrials. With the game's development in trouble, 2K Marin oversaw the development and overhauled the game to The Bureau that XCOM fans know today. If it wasn't for this redesign, the game would likely never have relea

Before embarking on a mission, players should carefully plan. Any mission that requires hacking, for example, will greatly benefit from at least one specialist who can hack from a distance. After building the Shadow Chamber, mission previews will show exactly the types of enemies that will be encountered on a mission. Any unencountered alien XCOM enemy will appear as Unkown . As players amass resources and options, preparing accordingly for each mission will have a major impact on its succ
