Epic Games Now Offer 'XCOM 2' for Free! Why is This Strategy Game So Popular?
This is a great opportunity for those who are looking for a quality game at no cost. Most of the time, "XCOM 2" costs around $60.
But, there are instances when retailers offer the game at a discounted price. Of course, free is always better than discounted. However, is this game worth the try? Here's a quick gameplay guide.
Is 'XCOM 2' Worth the Try?
There are two game companies behind "XCOM 2." These are Firaxis Games and Feral Interactive. Most of the titles they created together or individually commonly focus on the medieval era or very futuristic timelines.

"XCOM 2" falls in the futuristic setup since it is a video game. It focuses on combative gameplay against aliens and other-worldly beings.
According to Gizbot's report, this strategy game is the successor of the "XCOM: Enemy Unknown" title. Basically, the popular action game will let players visit different maps.
They can conduct in-game research, developments, as well as armor, weapon upgrades, and other item enhancements that will allow them to fend off the enemy aliens.
'XCOM 2' Visual Effects and Other Details!
Aside from exciting gameplay, the visual effects in "XCOM 2" are also more detailed compared to its predecessor. Unlike the first version, this popular title shows that the players failed to protect Earth in "XCOM: Enemy unknown."
This is the reason why the planet in the title is infested with other-worldly beings, as reported by PCWorld. The game's setup is also 20 years later after the first one, which means that the weapons and other in-game items are more futuristic.
"XCOM 2" will also vary depending on the online game store where you are purchasing it from. Unlike Valve's Steam Workshop, the Epic Games' free version will not include the large library of mods.
When it comes to availability, "XCOM 2" can also be played on Xbox, as well as Android smartphones (but Android 9 is required). If you prefer to access the game via PC, here are the requirements:
- GPU: OpenGL 4.0, NVIDIA GTX 460 / AMD Radeon HD 5750 / Intel HD 630
- DirectX: Version 11
- RAM and system storage: 4GB / 35GB
- Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit
- CPU: Intel Core i3 / AMD FX 2.4GHz
