(NB - this extensive list of XCOM 2 mods compatible with Long War 2 is a handy resource, should you wish to cross-check the base game's existing catalogue in your own time.) Shy of regurgitating our best XCOM 2 mods list from last year, the following collection gathers those which have helped me (attempt) to conquer the long, Long War. Long War 2 offers much of the same, and, as Adam aptly noted in his hands-on last month, stars 'tougher recruits for a tougher war.' Given its broad size and scope Long War 2 feels as much a standalone game as it does a total conversion, therefore it's of little surprise modders of the base game have been updating their works so as to be compatible with Pavonis' ambitious venture. Crafted by Pavonis Interactive (formerly Long War Studios), it's the indirect follow-up to Enemy Unknown's Long War - a total conversion mod that expands upon Firaxis' core concepts and ideas, making just about every little detail more difficult along the way. Those of you familiar with XCOM 2's Long War 2 mod will know it needs little introduction.
