A nice improvement over the previous game
What can I say? As the game title says this is XCOM >2< and it improves on both gameplay and graphics, it does change the story from XCOM 1 but I don't think it changes it for the worse. I would recommend playing XCOM 2 with a bunch of mods, there's a lot of flavors mods that can make it more wacky / fun / harder / serious or you can try some of the (near) total overhaul mods like Long War 2
