XCOM 2 is a turn-based campaign strategy game where you’re leading a rebellion against a hostile alien force that conquered Earth 20 years ago. It’s a shame, because XCOM 2 on Switch retains everything that makes it one of my favorite strategy games, but it’s all presented in a package that makes some serious concessions in order to run on a portable system.
A lot of these issues were exacerbated by console ports to Xbox One and PS4 a couple years ago, and sadly the Switch version is no different. Though patches would smooth out a lot of the issues over time, the PC version launched with long load times and a tendency for the action to slow down a lot when processing AI actions.
XCOM 2 is one of the finer strategy games I’ve gotten to play, but even on PC it had issues with poor optimization.
