PC Gamer has just awarded XCOM 2 a score of 94 on the grounds that it’s an absolutely masterful reworking of the already-excellent XCOM formula.
If you played Enemy Unknown and liked it, we think you’ll absolutely love the sequel.
The game comes out on February 5 and the Golden Joystick Store is currently offering all PC gamers the chance to get the XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe bundle for the same price as the standard XCOM 2 game.
Effectively that means you’re getting the Reinforcement Pack DLC and the soundtrack for free when you buy the base game, and leaves you paying $59.99 in the US, £39.99 in the UK and €49.99 (or less, depending on local tax) in Europe.
Not only that, everyone who pre-orders the game will also receive the Resistance Warrior Pack, which allows you to instantly unlock a survivor of the old war as a recruit in your barracks as well as customize your squad of resistance fighters with bonus outfits, headgear, and custom facial war paint.
The XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe Steam key sale will run at the Golden Joystick Store until the game launches on February 5.
Run by Future Publishing, the Golden Joystick Store aims to give players the easiest way to buy games yet, with a simple interface and recommendations from PC Gamer and GamesRadar to help you make your buying decisions.
