So, I'm a big XCOM-fan and have been since the very first game back in the day. So when I saw that the people behind the remakes of XCOM also made a card game I was sold =)

The combat is great, exploration is fun (Abbey) it even has some....I don't wanna call them "puzzles" really but they are......"things you can solve".

Ok, the conversations in the game aren't great, they are trying too hard with some jokes (almost as bad as the latest Borderlands games), there has been two jokes so far that actually made me smile but the rest have been really bad or not terrible.

I started the game on 60 FPS but with some serious lag and stuttering, loading a new mission could take up to 2 minutes some times.......couldn't figure out what it was with the settings, changing them did almost nothing.

Then I remembered that the ******* pointless 2K launcher has been causing me problems in other games so I disabled it and it made 99% of the problems go away. I now have a stable FPS of 60, cutscenes load in super quick.

I enjoy the combat so much that I've actually only done 2 story missions in almost 32 hours =p

Hi, did you know that lone developer from Kazakhstan made TBS game called Battle for Desert City.
It is Unreal Engine 5.3 according to documentation. Coming out 18th of January. So what do you think?
