And before you ask there are people out there who completed the game using a single soldier...

For a moment there I thought you had some real problem :)

That's why I said to play slow and learn how things work. What is included in a scenario may greatly influence your decisions.

Most players will tell you to always play with War of the Chosen. It introduced new classes and a lot of mechanic corrections. It's also completely integrated in the story. I usually try to have them all dead by my midgame, though. Their weapons are quite useful. XCOM 2 manages to make you feel...

The videos are a little long, but it's possible to do a full melee run.

You can resume scanning later with no loss of the time you already spent doing it. I'm partial to the sniper shots to the head myself, but when it's not possible, the grenade will affect everything in the area of effect marked on the ground. You should have in mind explosive grenades will...

BTW flashbang grenades are your friend. Not only they interrupt telepathic control, but also force those friendly aliens that love to hug your soldiers to release them,

See! The aliens are finding ways to preserve and protect life!

Have your faster squad members carry them. Also some of your squad member can have drones with healing ability. You'll come to rely on them :) Also I blame this thread for this:

Completely worthy it. Great mods out there, like Long War of the Chosen, that will only work in the computer version.

I remember all the mapping and notes back when Eye of the Beholder was released... The satisfaction when my suspicion a secret room must exist in some point of the map was confirmed. The truth is nowadays I wouldn't have time for this, but it was fun when I could do it.

The key here is playing it again... People now seem to want to beat the game in the hardest difficulty in the first play. Things like beating XCom 2 in Ironman using only one soldier in your squad.

The old culture of learn the game before you start playing the hardest difficulties is dead... people seem to want to play only on the extra hardcore, aliens will kill your planet for real if you fail mode...

Also consider terrain. It's possible to punch holes through walls, for instance. This is not Fallout where you can't go through a rotten door even when you are literally carrying nuclear weapons...

Not much choice in the tutorial. Next time you play you can disable the tutorial from the settings, but it is good to teach some basic mechanics.

The first time I played XCom I gave up and stopped playing for a few months. Then I lowered the difficulty, started learning what works and what doesn't. Now I can play in the hardest setting if I really want to, but i don't think it's as fun as the middle level of difficulty. The thing to...

I can play this in the hardest setting, and I still make silly mistakes. Just play it as you want. You're supposed to have fun not write a PhD thesis on the mechanics :) Some beginner tips 1) rotate your soldiers. Sooner or later one or more of your soldiers will be sent to hospital to recover...

Just avoid anything the elementals and undead are eating... the rest should be safe... I think

Welcome! We have a turnip special this week! Check with the keeper and have fun! :)
