Combat in

At this point in the demo, some enemy mechs appeared and took down the player's second-last squad member. The last man standing then did what I thought was the coolest new ability: they picked up the incapacitated squad member, put them over their shoulder, and ran. While fleeing the overwhelming enemy force, this squad member them used an ability which allowed them to call in their Skyranger dropship and manually place the evacuation zone on the map. I'm excited by the tactical possibilities these two new mechanics allow, along with the dramatic last stand scenarios which I'm sure will inevitably result.

XCOM 2 doesn't seem like a massive departure from its competent predecessor. But it does appear to be addressing Enemy Unknown's broader tactical issues, while offering cool new abilities that encourage emergent drama and memorable player-created narratives. That is enough to keep me well interested.

XCOM 2 launches exclusively for PC in November this year.
