Skip the original and start with this DLC Here’s what I wish I’d known going in, and a few tips for stepping off on the right foot. There are new features like Ability Points, new enemies like the Spectre and the Purifier and a couple of entirely new systems that aren’t terribly well explained. But it also throws a few wrinkles into the classic formula. XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is here, and by all accounts it’s the best version of XCOM ever made.
