Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 11/day in the week to Aug 14 → 18.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Xbox, GOG publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

This game+235 mods and finetuned = XCOM1+XCOM2+infinite gameplay.
Not the game for me. Time limited missions constantly to force you to play aggressive / reckless . Snake type aliens that can grab a squad member 20 metres away and immobilize them. Aliens that can teleport at random and create clones of themselves that can attack you, also create a warp field that disarms your squad in a wide area. Random dice that lies about the percentage chance of success. Enjoyed the first xcom despite its flaws, but this feels less like entertainment. More like frustration.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 11: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

I started playing XCOM 2 after finishing Wasteland 3. I learned that Wasteland 3’s combat system was heavily inspired by XCOM, so I thought I might enjoy it. Unfortunately, I really didn’t. I found the story too silly, like some B-movie about an alien invasion. Games with bad stories turn me off much more than games with very simple or no story at all. I kept thinking, “Why am I wasting my time with this B-movie?” If you can disregard that and love tactical turn-based combat, this game is probably for you. If you care about a good story or compelling lore, however, XCOM 2 is bad in that regard. Finally, it runs well on Steam Deck, although I did spend some time configuring the controls.
A Nerd Game.

Easy TOP 10 Favorite games of all time. 99/10 hitchance
不愧是战旗神作，非常好玩，令人沉迷。玩了三十个小时才知道应该玩天选者之战版本，想着重开有点烦，结果游戏性更上一层楼，简直有七八层楼那么高。几乎扭转了我对游戏的偏好，想一直玩这种游戏！
Pra quem gosta de RPG de gerenciamento e tambem combates em turno muito precisos, é um prato cheio, fazia tempo que um jogo nao me pegava assim, 10/10 ! 10 personalização de soldados 10 movimentação e taticas 10 historia envolvente 10 gerenciamento de recursos e base o suprasumo dos jogos taticos militares
Eu joguei esse jogo há algum tempo na Epic e peguei a versão completa na Steam pra rejogar. E, acredite, era melhor ter deixado esse jogo na minha memória. XCOM 2 (especialmente com a expansão War of the Chosen) sofre de uma grave crise de identidade e de escolhas de game design extremamente questionáveis que destroem qualquer pretensão de simulação tática. O jogo vende a premissa de um movimento de resistência underground em táticas de guerrilha, mas a mecânica te obriga a agir como um exército de ocupação regular. O conceito de ação de guerrilha (que consiste em atingir o alvo estratégico, causar o maior dano possível e evacuar imediatamente) é sumariamente ignorado. Você pode cumprir o objetivo primário usando classes de infiltração, mas o jogo decide arbitrariamente (no meio da missão) que a missão falhou se você não eliminar todos os inimigos. Para piorar, a dificuldade é construída sobre mecanismos artificiais e punitivos: RNG Ilusório: O sistema de probabilidade baseado em seeds pré-determinadas mata qualquer sensação de tomada de decisão estratégica quando todos os tiros são calculados antes do mapa carregar. Vilões Deslocados e Vitórias Falsas: A inclusão dos Chosen quebra completamente o tom do jogo. Além de atacarem fora do fluxo natural de turnos, eles são narrativamente imortais em missões comuns. Mesmo que você os derrote no campo de batalha, eles simplesmente se teletransportam de volta para a base. A vitória real só é permitida em uma missão burocrática específica, invalidando o esforço do jogador e transformando encontros difíceis em meras interrupções irritantes. Design Asfixiante: Timers artificiais, spawns infinitos de inimigos e cenários saturados punem o raciocínio estratégico lógico em favor de stress manufaturado e frustração barata. O que poderia ser um excelente RPG tático de resistência transforma-se em um exercício cansativo de arbitrariedade mecânica. Se você busca profundidade tática, respeito ao seu tempo e regras coerentes, passe longe.
