This time I sunk my teeth into the PC version of XCOM 2 upon release and only now began to explore the console release on Xbox One. Unlike a lot of XCOM fans I started out playing on console, then went to PC. XCOM: Enemy Unknown suffered in this regard too, but had such a simple and addictive grind I couldnвЂ™t stop. However, if I contrast the XCOM 2 experience with another genre staple, the Fire Emblem series, itвЂ™s clear that Firaxis excels at the clinical methodology a tactical game requires but canвЂ™t compete when it comes to engaging my imagination or inducing empathy for the characters onscreen. Yes, the soldier customization is improved and writing up elaborate backstories or cloning friends and celebrities is entertaining.

Try as I might, I couldnвЂ™t find myself caring one iota about Tygan (the scientist dude), Shen (the engineer lady) or Bradford (the mission control guy), who are for better or worse the main characters in the narrative. It improves on the XCOM experience in just about every measurable way, except one: itвЂ™s soulless. IвЂ™ve logged 200+ hours on 2012вЂ™s XCOM: Enemy Unknown and subsequent DLC Enemy Within (and a nice chunk of Long War, too.) But IвЂ™m not as confident that IвЂ™ll put up similar numbers on XCOM 2, even with it now being available on consoles.ДonвЂ™t misunderstand my intent here. The game has scored a 90/100 on Metacritic, which actually makes it better than the 2013 released XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a nice surprise given it isnвЂ™t very often that a sequel of a hit title excels expectation.IвЂ™m no fly-by-night XCOM reviewer. XCOM 2 is thus far doing very well in reviews. If you think itвЂ™ll take you atВ least half a year to complete XCOM 2 (backlogs are no joke)В and you wonвЂ™t need the content until thenвЂ¦ YouвЂ™ll probably want to wait for a Winter or Summer Sale on Steam to catch a discount the Season Pass. If you plan on buying that content right away because when you enjoyed playing through Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within, grabbing the Deluxe Edition isnвЂ™t such a terrible idea for the additional content on the cheap.

XCOM 2вЂ™s Season Pass has been dubbed the вЂњReinforcement PackвЂќ and will have a total of 3 separate DLCs launched post release вЂ“ 1 in the spring and 2 in the Summer of 2016.

The Deluxe gets you the same pre-order bonus as the standard edition, the soundtrack, and most importantly the Season Pass of the Game. Is it worthwhile though? The answer depends on how devoted an XCOM fan you are. If you planned on spending sixty bucks on the game anyway, you may be tempted to buy the Deluxe Edition after discount, since itвЂ™s right around that same dollar amount ($57 at GMG for Deluxe vs. List price is $74.99, includes Season Pass and Soundtrack

GMG, GamesPlanet, and FunStock Digital will allВ get you the same pre-order bonus вЂњResistance Warrior PackвЂќ that Steam Store offers, plus the main carrot incentive of aВ bigВ healthy percentage off list price. Gamers unfamiliar with PC digital games are in for a nice surprise as discounts are aplenty, particularly when a title is still in pre-order status such as XCOM 2.В Three authorized retailers have price breaks up to 25% off on the deluxe and standard editions.
