RPS has posted a glowing review of it: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/12/10/xcom-2-preview/

Considering how many hours I've spent on the first chapter and on Enemy Within, I'll surely get this one too.

I mean, he gave me good suggestions for Paris?

The customization options look very good for the vanilla game and the mod support is impressive. Looking really darn good.

Game comes out Friday. The reviews are overwhelmingly positive and totalbiscuit seems to love it. Basically saying its going to be the best game of the year - and it just started  :lol:

Yep, I did too. I've watched too many pre-release game streams not to.  :blush:

About to pre-purchase it though it is unclear if the pre-order bonus (Day One edition) applies to all stores selling Steam keys or even the boxed release on amazon or fnac.

Reviews looking pretty good. It seems it's focusing on its core strengths, i.e. engaging combat, while pushing the weaker parts (base building) more to the background.

I'm not sure I will buy on release, though. I still have other stuff to get through first.

That's a shame, I'd have liked to see the base building and grand strategy stuff improved.
