I've wanted to give this one a try for a while, as I've always enjoyed XCOM, and the idea of adding cards in was an interesting twist. The gameplay was a hit for me, as I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay. I also went in expecting the Abbey to be pretty hit or miss, especially since I didn't have any familiarity with the Midnight Suns characters. Thankfully, I enjoyed that part as well, going to the club activities, building those relationships. Some of the characters I enjoyed the most even came from the Suns, which I didn't expect.
I have to talk about the 2K Launcher, as before I disabled that aspect I was having major problems with the quality. I don't know why it happened, but my framerate was so bad until after I disabled that. I didn't have many other issues, aside from some things like the enemies glitching on the battlefield, staying even though they were KO'd.
I only really do have nitpicks other than the couple of bugs, like when you'd have a conversation with people. They'd be talking about somebody else talking about how it needs to be a secret, but the person is standing right behind us. It wasn't a big deal, but it was kind of immersion breaking. I feel like the acts could've been paced better, getting a bit more equal time with other villains, but it wasn't a huge deal.
