XCOM has finally recognised its biggest problem: us. This, it turns out, is a sequel that truly understands how people played its predecessor. If it's the latter, it's a punchline that's been more than three years in the making. Despite the build up, your shot might go on to hit, kill, or completely miss its target.
But here, in this game, that isn't actually telling you anything at all. You'll line up a shot with one of those dreaded 45 per cent chances to hit, and feel immediate relief as the camera pans round your soldier in slow motion. XCOM 2 appears to offer the same thing, visual glitches and all. Also available on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX Availability: Released this week on PS4 and Xbox One.
