I was looking forward to playing XCOM 2 on the PlayStation 4. After a few hours of play I realized that the game was more of the same. I wanted something new. So I thought, maybe I can find some cheats for this game. I didn’t want to have to buy some sort of cheat pack to get the cheats I wanted. I found a great site that listed a ton of console commands and cheats. I was able to make the game more enjoyable and I am now able to complete every single objective in the game.
