New to this game and I have to say, this game is incredibly good and addicting.

XCOM2

I managed to the get the game in a huge sale (8 euros) in the switch 2 and I'm Hella addicted.

I'm doing my very first run in Commander difficulty and I have progressed quite some I believe (right after defeating the first Avatar), im playing vanilla with the dlc stories and of I knew nothing of the game.

Oh you have no idea how hellish was it doing the Dr Valhen quest as soon as it popped (same for the Spark mission) they were incredibly fun but crazy hard.

Just to get myself ambushed by other rulers, oh man the Archon King was incredible hell, he was the cause of my first mission fail becausd he got me in a mission where I I also had to kill the first avatar, no plasma grenades by then, only mag weapons and that was a rush, I had to evac.

I'm doing a little bit of save scum here and there, which I guess it's normal since I don't know the game yet compared to somebody who has done several runs but I try to keep to a minimum, unless something catastrophic happens.

Haven't had yet one of those 99% miss xcom moments, but I've definetly had my share of that's just xcom baby!

I always cry when my sniper misses all 4 shots in a killzone.

Anyways, just wanted to say this game is amazing, and crazy addicting. I must have put already over 30 hours in the past 5 days lol.
