Unlike most other classes, Skirmishers thrive off of mobility thanks to their close weapons and grappling hook. The problem, though, is that very few levels let you utilize this skill early in the game, and with the constant restarts that come with an XCOM 2 run, this means it'll be mostly useless for a lot of your ga

As the final battle cutscene came to a close, the Commander is pulled from his Avatar by those aboard the Avenger, and it's quite possible that the remaining ethereals utilized their psionic power on the Avatar's body to not only cling to life, but find a way to rebuild and bring the fight to XCOM in the coming years. Truthfully, in the closing seconds of the game XCOM gave the ethereals exactly what they were seeking: a powerful avatar to host their bodies. It's entirely possible this gaff by Bradford and his crew may cost countless human lives in the near fut


Fans have been clamoring for Persona 5 to come on the Switch for the longest time. While Persona 5 Strikers might not be the exact slg Game releases they were hoping for, it's still a brilliant title that combines the mechanics of Dynasty Warriors with Persona 5 's combat for some truly brilliant


Added in the "Shen's Last Gift" DLC, SPARKs are a return to the mechanized soldiers that players could make in XCOM: Enemy Within. Rather than just new weapons, this ends up providing them with a totally new moveset to make them fill all sorts of roles in your team, but they don't end up being nearly as consistent as most players would h


The game's cover art is a reference to a classic religious artwork with the depiction of a sacred heart in the middle of the chest; the heart has been replaced by a grenade in Borderlands 3 's cover, possibly a reference to the "Holy Hand Grenade" from Monty Python and the Holy Gr


Psionics are incredibly powerful in XCOM. These mentally-draining abilities can let you mind control enemies or cause enemies near you to cower in fear, and end up providing you with a large variety of abilities that could seem overpowered later in the g


Terror From The Deep was a sequel to the original X-COM. At this stage in that game's plot, the alien forces had been defeated, but sent out a signal before their ultimate destruction. This signal awakened a dormant force of aliens who had been in stasis under the sea for countless years. Their awakening forced XCOM to adopt new strategies in order to defend humanity once again, developing new weapons and armors capable of taking the fight to the aliens in an underwater battlegro


XCOM 2 's cover has a far more minimalist design than the other entries on this list. The game's cover is extremely sinister, with the alien's face being made up purely of human skulls, letting players know straight away that this isn't going to be a wholesome Bandicoot -like adventure. Moreover, the morbid aesthetics and fact that the alien is looking straight at the viewer could be seen as an implication of the game's punishing difficul

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is regarded by some to have the greatest open-world in the genre's history. It's easy to see why, as Breath of the Wild 's map wastes little space despite its enormous size, with things to do and see around every cor


Breath of the Wild 's artistic cover gives players a glimpse at the game's beauty, making them want to explore the world being shown and venture to the ominous castle that Link's body language clearly shows has his full attent


By the end of XCOM 2 , they were within reach of finishing a project that would have led to the mass genocide of humans all over the planet, who would be melted down and turned into a liquid used in the creation of the Avatar project. This liquid, combined with an artificial host body, would grant the ethereals a permanent physical host and ensure their survival, effectively wiping out humans in the proc


It would be impossible to talk about great RPGs on the Switch without mentioning the masterpiece that is Xenoblade Chronicles . The series has certainly witnessed a resurgence of sorts after the botched development of Xenogears and the muted success of Xenosaga , with players quickly getting into what is easily one of the greatest JRPGs of all t


Unlike other fictional universes, the Warhammer 40K universe isn't exactly somewhere anyone would want to be in. In this setting, the universe remains an empty but harsh space that separates the material world from the Warp, which serves as the home to vile creatures and demons. Moreover, races in WH40K reached scientific heights that made them more paranoid and prepared to face alien thre


In any event, it looks like XCOM 2 fans should expect some terrors to rise from the murky depths within the next few years, as the cliffhanger ending shows that Firaxis evidently has no intention of slowing things down with the ser


Of course, the battle on the field is just one aspect of management that players will face. The base management has gone through an overhaul as well, and Firaxis has done well to get rid of the UFO hunting minigame that felt out of place and awkward in the first title. The game puts a much higher importance on individual scientists and engineers, which makes rescuing them in optional timed missions an important judgement call for players. One rescued, the scientists provide research bonuses so players can unlock gear faster, and engineers can be placed in varying rooms to provide a wide aspect of bonuses, from increasing the resistance's communication network to helping troops recover from wounds fas
