The XCOM 2 Collection is a pretty welcome addition to the Switch library. It’s got a great reputation for a reason as being a key part of arguably the best tactical RPG series out there, and that reputation survives the game’s jump over to the Switch almost entirely intact.

XCOM 2 Collection is the complete package, giving Switch players a chance to experience one of the best turn-based strategy games of all time. Not even a few technical issues can hurt the unparallel feeling of barely being able to succeed as you lead the resistance against hostile aliens.

Strategy fans who prefer their XCOM on-the-go should consider this a must-have, so long as a huge download and minor bugs aren't deal-breakers. [Issue 1#1, p.56]

Might be enjoyable if the dev put more thoughts and real care to the game and optimize it. The game runs like ****. I should already aware that the fact the file size is way so big for such a Turn based strategy game, it means the dev just dump everything and port it to switch without optimizing it. Avoid this game even if it's on sale, I would say this is the worst possible switch port.

Not aging the best but still enjoyable once you can get into it for a weekend since it is inexpensive.

One of my favorite tactical games and now it's portable. The game ran exactly as it should on the Switch - or it may have even beat my expectations. This was my first time playing the War of the Chosen expansion, and it really added to my enjoyment- there were new enemies, but also new weapons, abilities, and factions. Some of them became some of my favorite features of the game, like the new grappling-hook soldier, or the blade-wielder. I managed to set up some fun combos that really helped me enjoy the game.

Performance & perks on being on the Switch: Pretty jenky, but not enough to detract from the experience. The character models and environments are fine. The frame-rate is awful during transition animations. However, it doesn't affect moment to moment gameplay. Great on the Switch. I've sunk hundreds of hours into since 2020. Playing on the TV, then moving to the bed before sleep makes it the best way to play XCOM IMO. Game review: It's hard for newcomers, but very rewarding once you've learned. It essentially has endless replay value.

If you can get passed some clunky performance, this is an excellent turn-based tactics game to add to the Switch's growing roster.

Regardless of your history with the series, the XCOM 2 Collection is an enticing offer for strategy fans. With the game bundled together with its sizeable War of the Chosen expansion, plenty of DLC and the option of playing while on the toilet, this is probably the best way you can choose to play XCOM 2.

In reality, it’s damn impressive that the XCOM 2 Collection runs on Switch at all. In spite of its visual and technical issues, there’s an incredible (and challenging) tactical experience to be had. Perhaps exercise some patience and invest in some glasses to get the best experience.

Although far from a flawless port, XCOM 2 Collection is still a hearty dose of one of the best strategy titles of the past decade.

XCOM 2 is a wonderful strategy game, but the Switch version makes it frustrating to play what can already be a pretty stressful campaign in the best of circumstances. It felt like I was spending more time waiting for the game to load or process than I was actually playing, and eventually I just ended up with a strong urge to redownload it on Steam and play it there instead. Since XCOM 2 is entirely turn-based, the poor performance doesn’t really have an effect on the gameplay, so if you can put up with it then the game is still just as good as it ever was. I couldn’t really put up with it, though, so sadly this is one Switch port that really drags down an otherwise excellent game.

The best tactical turn based game out there. Amazing to see it portably on the Switch. Slight graphical hiccups but 100% playable and I really enjoyed it.

¡Bienvenidos a bugfestlandia! Tras haber jugado a juegos que emplean el mismo sistema de combate estratégico (mario+rabbids, hard west...) mis expectativas para con este juego eran medianamente altas habiendo leído previamente que el rendimiento del port dejaba que desear. Sin embargo, este juego esta plagado de tantos. fallos que más que un juego disfrutable, es una bazofia execrable. Y lo cierto es que de estos fallos, solo uno creo que pertenece a la versión de switch, lo que ocurre es que si juegas esto en PC puedes solventar varios de sus bugs toqueteando diferentes archivos del juego... ¿pero eso es realmente lo que es exigible de un juego? Puedo entender que un juego de lanzamiento en PC tenga fallos hoy en día porque estos se pueden ir solventando, pero no el hecho de que no se solventen por los desarrolladores y acabes encima porteando el juego a otras plataformas años después y en el mismo estado. Dicho esto, algunos de los combates del juego, mapeados y misiones son realmente interesantes y puedo entender el amor que muchos usuarios sienten hacía este juego. No obstante la cantidad de fallos que tiene es abrumadora como bien he dicho: - Tiempo de carga largos y bajadas de frames abundantes. Esto es realmente un problema porque en muchos combates acabaras recargando la partida bastante debido al comportamiento de los enemigos con respecto al efecto de la niebla que puede destrozarte si descubres un grupo enemigo cuando no toca... - Faltan tutoriales de mecánicas de juego... XCOM 2 tiene dos partes jugables diferenciadas, las misiones que seguramente todos conocerán, pero también otra parte de gestión de recursos en un tablero tipo "RISK". Esta segunda parte está horriblemente explicada y **** bastantes meses de juego en averiguar como se realizaban ciertas cosas y en entender que el marcador rojo que aparece arriba es básicamente una cuenta atrás para un game over que te obliga a reiniciar el juego... Además los controles en los menús son horribles (esto último también será parte de la experiencia en consola). - ¡Los bugs! ¡Vivan los bugs! Existen varios y diversos, pero lo peor es que existen bugs que te rompen la partida directamente. Deje el juego en una misión en la que el juego se bugueaba en el turno del enemigo, quedandose eternamente en él... En consola mi única opción era cargar un archivo pasado y volver a empezar la misión desde el principio, pero ¿para qué? ¿Para qué volviera a ocurrir lo mismo en esta u otra y siguiera en una espiral de tedio sin sentido? Existen también otros bugs que no rompen el juego a nivel sonoro, gráfico y de controles... - La dificultad de las misiones: Puesto que el juego viene con todos los dlcs, hay misiones de estos que pueden aparecer en cualquier momento, y para los que no hemos jugado el juego, evidentemente no podemos diferenciarlas y eso me llevo a hacerlas realmente temprano (sin absolutamente ninguna mejora y los soldados en clases muy bajas). He de decir que realmente son de las mas disfrutables, pero esta manera de colocarlas no tiene sentido, ya que después de superarlas y volver a las misiones del juego base, estás acaban siendo realmente aburridas en comparación. He de decir que compre este juego en oferta por 2 o 3 euros, así que no me siento estafado por ese precio, pero no me quiero imaginar quien haya comprado esta desproposito por el precio completo. Lo peor es que se ve claramente que si pulieran todos los fallos, el juego realmente luciria y seria un juego de notable sobresaliente, pero no entiendo a la industria que prioriza antes de eso cosas como "darle voces y doblaje a todos los personajes", ya que si han tenido dinero y presupuesto para algo así, bien podrían haber ordenado mejor sus prioridades con respecto al desarrollo del juego.
