You are correct. I don't have a My2K account and I've been playing XCOM2 on Steam for at least 2 years now.
Even when I played online on the PS5, no account needed.
Have you found a good drop in replacement? I just haven’t found a game that replaces xcom .
Yea, it's a tough itch to scratch, for sure. I only have suggestions for games that have similar mechanics, but nothing that could be considered a straight up replacement for XCOM2.
I love XCOM and have tried a few of those games. Into the Breach is one of my all-time favorites. It captures the thoughtful, turn-based decision-making of XCOM but admittedly lacks the base building, graphics, and most of the leveling up, to name a few things.
Yea, that base building aspect and time constraints for the Avatar Project of XCOM2 is the one thing that I've never come across in any other similar turn-based game. Although Wesnoth has the veteran soldier idea, you can only recruit them again during battle and there's no interaction or adjustments inbetween. Certainly no camp or base to keep track of.
I agree on Into The Breach! I think I've managed to play it more than XCOM2. FTL still beats both (combined) for me, though, in terms of how much time I've sunk into it 😅 Captain's Edition mod never let's you live your life...
