Summary
Aliens rule Earth, promising a brilliant future for mankind while secretly hiding a sinister agenda. As the leader of a guerrilla force facing impossible odds, you must ignite a global resistance to eliminate the alien threat and save the human race from extinction.
The XCOM 2 Collection includes the award-winning strategy game XCOM 2, the War of the Chosen expansion, and four DLC packs (Resistance Warrior Pack, Anarchy’s Children, Alien Hunters, Shen’s Last Gift, Tactical Legacy Pack) for a bundled discount.

Otherwise, it’s still probably the greatest game ever made, and to have it available portable on my switch is a game changer. Haven’t turned my PC (200+ hours) on for about a year
Bugged so much, i had to restart first mission three times.Loading time and frame drops made me drop the game.One of the worst buys of the year

When the screen was very crowded, the frame rate would drop big time, but since this is not an action game, the impact is none.I customized all characters to look like my relatives and having none of them killed just increased the fun. Having characters named after my children and brothers made the experience a lot more fun.The game goes on sale on regular base and is definitely worth the cash.Definitely a must have for people who like tactics/strategy.
XCOM 2 is a challenging and engrossing turn-based tactical shooter, and seeing it running on the the Nintendo Switch is very impressive. However, there are a number of performance issues here, including immersion-shattering frame rate drops and frustratingly long loading times. There's no doubt that XCOM 2 is best played on a PC with a keyboard and mouse, but if the Switch is your only gaming platform then this is still a worthwhile buy, albeit an expensive one.
The XCOM 2 Collection is a great addition to the Switch library with its strategic gameplay and intriguing storyline. While there are some issues with framerate drops scattered throughout the massive campaign, this is still a title fans of the genre will love to play on the go.
