XCOM 2

Date played: March 6th
Platform: PC

I played one mission yesterday, where I blew up an Avatar Project facility, removing 2 notches from the meter on the aliens' big project. This mission wasn't too hard really, I just had to make sure I focused fire on the Sectopod and Gatekeeper when they showed up. At this point, I'm usually able to take these things out in one turn, but only if I ignore everything else around me.
Samus Aran is a very important member of my squad
I really like having a tech specialist on my team, but since I only have Orion Belt, when he's injured, I have to use other tactics. I'm thinking I could re-spec Emma Allen's skills, or maybe Victoria Everglot. I love having one of each class, then two specialists. I've got a new heavy weapon that is really cool, it's a shredder shot that destroys armor in a cone in front of the soldier, ideal for big, difficult encounters. I now have a retaliation mission to complete, then I should be able to focus on the main story missions.
