Half Life 2 vs XCOM 2
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
XCOM 2
XCOM 2 is the highly anticipated and very well-received sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the award-winning strategy game of the year 2012. Set in world dominated by aliens 20 years into the future, XCOM 2 puts you in charge of the remnants of the decimated XCOM forces who will be lending their skills and abilities to humanity's growing resistance movement. XCOM 2 offers players with a whole new list of resistance fighters to recruit, an intriguing tactically-based guerrilla combat, a wide variety of enemies, and an in-depth technology tree for you to unlock.Interestingly, in addition to a 1-on-1 party-based multiplayer game mode, the game also provides tools for its community of players to create not only their own maps but also their own campaigns, aliens, classes, and gameplay features. They can even share their creations with the world.
Fans of XCOM will be delighted with this sequel mainly because it is so much better in every possible way. Sounds like a game you'd like to play? Well, buy the game today - you wopn't regret it, that's for sure!
