Hey Comments section - is Chosen a necessary purchase to get the most of out XCom 2?
I beat FiraXcom at release and didn't mind it, but the mechanical limitations compared to classic XCom or other successors turned me off that I never came back for Enemy Within.
I bought XCom 2 at release planning to play it, but never did.
If this series has put me back in an XCom mood - do I want to pick up Chosen before I dive into 2?
As someone who has only played the FiraXcoms (all the recent games and dlcs), I would recommend playing base 2 then play Chosen( or I'll call WOTC), to get your feet wet.
WOTC builds on 2, literally inserting the chosen bosses into the game and without being accustom to the base version it can be alot to take in.
Granted there are some needed changes in WOTC such as enemy preview, the choice to mitigate timers, and other niceties which I wish the base game had.
