Not only do these Sitreps effect which soldiers and equipment players decide to use but also helps keep the missions from feeling repetitive and stale.

This mechanic adds a modifier to the standard missions, these include being limited to only taking low-level soldiers on a mission or being faced with the gameвЂ™s new zombie type enemy, the Lost. The first thing players will notice when heading out on missions in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is the new Sitrep mechanic. Sure, I was still sending in my squad of soldiers to face the looming alien threat and, yes, I was still chucking grenades and getting emotional when losing an important squadmate, but what War of the Chosen adds to the game helps to expand on what was already a great experience. However, after a few minutes of playing the game, I soon realised that there was more to the expansion than first meets the eye. Initially, I was concerned that War of the Chosen would just be more of the same (which isnвЂ™t a bad thing).

The XCOM 2: War of the Chosen expansion starts off on familiar territory but slowly and surely introduces you to a whole slew of new mechanics, characters and enemies, each bringing something new to the much-loved game.
