XCOM 2 Collection

The problems with the XCOM 2 Collection aren't game-breaking and shouldn't stop anyone with a capable device (and a desire for a native app designed for mobile play) from picking it up. In a world where we seem to be on the verge of simply streaming PC games to our phones and tablets, though, folks who already have XCOM 2 on PC might want to wait and see if they can fire up remote (and better) version of the game in the near future.

Overall, this is by far the most impressive of all of Feral Interactive’s iOS conversions yet. Given how awful XCOM 2 was at launch on PS4 for me and how it runs on current consoles, I’m more than impressed with the iOS version and can safely recommend it above the consoles as an alternative to those who want the full XCOM 2 experience and don’t want to play on PC with the caveat about the visuals. The XCOM 2 Collection is a joy to play on iPad Pro and I can’t wait to see where the port goes over the next few months with potential updates and maybe even potential features brought in.

Though difficulty may frustrate and dissuade some players, the XCOM 2 Collection on iOS is still a great introduction to what makes the series special
