As we said in our review, Xcom 2 is pretty much the best tactical combat experience you can have at the moment. But if the base game from Firaxis and 2K Games wasn't expansive enough for you, the active and imaginative mod community that has built up around the game is constantly adding fresh ways to play and interact.

If you're a Fire Emblem fan perhaps you've been missing that series' trademark relationship building in Firaxis' sci-fi sequel, but worry not, because that's exactly what modder RealityMachina is trying to fix. His Squad Cohesion Mod has just launched on Steam, weighs in at 1.12 GB, and basically "leverages a 'squadmate score' system left in by Firaxis to give small buffs for squads that trust in each other".

According to PC Gamer, "this grants buffs (and debuffs) to squad members who forge strong fighting relationships by way of cohesion points". So, get ready to get your stats improved by saving lives and helping out team mates. However, with this new feature we can also permadeath to sting that little bit more.

REVIEW. Written by Mike Holmes

"The story mission is fleeting but decent, and the new soldier class will change the dynamic of any mission."
