Okay, thoughts please.

Just got a new (second) XB1, so that I'm not so gaming deprived while the kid is away at school.

I'm loathe to buy duplicate titles and I'm not willing to requisition anything he's actively playing so I'm probably in the market for one more game to add to my limited number of options for a while.

I call the first console version the most fun I've ever had with a game I never came close to beating. I know, via FOFC & Google, that there's a kind of formulaic way to beat XCom1 but I've never had the patience to go that route. Is XCom2 similar in that regard, that there's a certain path/sequence of things that dramatically enhances your chances to beat it? Or is it more open-ended, with multiple ways to succeed?

Saw it new at Target on sale for $40 this week, so that's a plus.

Given what you now know about my historical relationship with XCom, good buy or bad buy, for me?
