Long War 2 is a top-to-bottom overhaul of XCOM 2. No singular video under 2 hours can truly cover this one, either, but just look at how radically different even just the first mission is. You’ll thank me after you’ve played XCOM 2 for your 5th time. This mod makes you feel like you’re actually going around the world and fighting through unique areas instead of the exact same places a couple of times. With a few structure changes, you’ll see the exact same landscape, and sometimes the exact same layout of buildings. After a while, the vanilla maps will start to get a bit stale. So, a single video or image can’t really capture why you need this little guy, but trust me when I say you do. Get it here.Īn official Mod image showing off new features. If you want a challenge that the base game sorely lacks in the late game, slap this into your game and strap in, and maybe get a mod to increase squad size.

A Better Advent isn’t just adding some random stuff to the game to make it harder it directly improves the core gameplay… but, it does make the game notably harder. Providing not only more enemies, but – as the name of the mod says – 'better' enemies, A Better Advent 2 opens up new avenues of gameplay with more than 60 new enemies and variants along with an ambitious AI overhaul.
