Now what you should have done was contrast the scores given by those sites who were positive towards XCOM. Would you have given those last two sites the time of day if they gave Fallout 4 a good review. You've hightlighted the ones who gave XCOM near flawless scores, namely Guardian, Escapist, XGN, IGN Spain and contrasted it against the mixed reviews for Fallout 4, namely PC World, Riot Pixels and GRYOnline?.

Sad that Fallout 4 is exactly the game most fans did NOT expect and is essentially the XCOM: Bureau Declassified of the Fallout series.Ĭlick to expand.Fair enough, but it's not a complete side-by-side comparison.

In other words, it looks like XCOM fans will be very pleased with XCOM 2 (including me). 'Fallout 4 is a really decent game that (unfortunately) dismisses all the good and important things set up by its great predecessors.' 'Fallout 4 is an OK game if you treat it as an open-world first-person shooter.' Now compare to Fallout 4's Critic Reviews, including: 'XCOM 2 is a perfect sequel to Enemy Unknown.' 'XCOM 2 improves on its predecessor in almost every way, ' 'XCOM 2 is a perfect example of how iteration should work for games: it takes a great original, fixes and streamlines the problems, and doubles-down in unexpected areas' 'XCOM 2 is exactly what the fans of XCOM were expecting.' - Why couldn't this be the case for Fallout 4?! :'-( Here are excerpts from the XCOM 2 Critic Reviews: The XCOM 2 reviews compared to the Fallout 4 reviews (actual critic reviews, not user score) are a hilarious comparison. I have collected some Critic Reviews from Metacritic here to compare the two: It represents improvements on the previous games without trying to turn XCOM into another kind of game altogether and selling a game that resembles XCOM in name and appearance alone, in order to sell to people who never liked XCOM to begin with (which would be the exact way to alienate your fan base). It looks like XCOM 2 is indeed the sequel everyone wanted, instead of another XCOM: Bureau Declassified debacle.
