In Lieu of a Full Review…

I’ve been playing XCOM 2 lately. A full review is coming eventually. Until then, here are some screenshots which I dragged into Photoshop, and then applied artsy-filter stuff to.

XCOM2-Startscreen-Cutout1
The Load Screen, which uses one of your soldiers from the active game file
XCOM2-SkyrangerReturnsPointillize
One of the many “Skyranger Returns” scenes, pointillized
XCOM2-HomecomingCutout&Grain
XCom’s soldiers RTB and report. The guy in front has a sad story about “this hurts.”

If you click on any of these you’ll be rewarded with a 1920×1080 jpg that is nicely suited for use as a desktop wallpaper.

Enjoy!

(Note: These images would not be possible without the work of the passionate and brilliant artists and designers at Firaxis Studios. All I did was screen-grab, and then stylize. Mad props to the real heroes here!)
