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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

Reviews
XCOM 2 isn't perfect, but coming back to it from XCOM EW made me remember how much I liked it. They took care to try and fix by far the worst issues with that game (overwatch spam creeping across the map, lest you bring the entire population of mars down on your head), and I think the story still holds as well. It's not like Chimera Squad, where they give aliens normal voices and act like they're misshapen normal dudes, it's still a serious enough operation with some interesting new enemies. Definetely prefer ethereals to avatars in design, wish we had ethereals too, but that's really nothing much as criticism goes. I find the game still has the classic XCOM reverse difficutly curve where things get significantly easier to the point of bordom in the middle, though I have beaten this like 10 times so that might be the probelm too. Used to play it on PS4, that port was completely borked and should never have been sold. Coming from EW and playing the remake-missions make me mark out shamelessly. The game's a great time, especially for the embarrasingly low price it gets sold for.

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.

positive critical· bar length = how often the theme comes up
Fun turnbase game, good story and voice acting. worth your pennies! Base game is not altogether challenging especially on the lower dificulties, that said the DLC can make this game much harder especially if your unfamiliar with this type of game, in particular Alien Hunters as they add three brutal enemies that can show up randomly with the potential of wiping an entrie squad if unprepared (Im not talking about the chosen aliens). That DLC has had some crit due to the belief it is unballanced so due warning. Some cool mods you can get, I love having my squad geard up as clone or storm troopers from SW saga. One thing I wasnt a fan of was the introduction to some missions having timers which wasnt in the previouse addition. However you can get a mod to remove that if your so inclined.
[b]★★★★ (4.0/5.0)[/b] "Now I need XCOM 3."
Es una pena que no sea capaz de jugar mas de 20 minutos seguidos al juego, siempre se acaba cerrando por alguna razón
Excellent challenge, love the theme
Jogão. é desafiador e punitivo pra caramba e tem uma lore legal. Se não gostar de algo ou quiser melhorar alguma coisa, é só usar algum dos diversos mods disponíveis.
10/10
PLEASE RNG-SUS, IT SAYS 80%, PLEASE
游戏很好玩
From the masters of turn based games comes XCOM 2, hands down the best tactical turn based game ever made. Ignore the copy cats and play the original. Never stop playing it until you beat it in Commander Ironman. You *will* thank me later. Be well.
