I was trying real hard to be excited for this, but the news of everything being card-based just completely destroyed my actual interest. I'll probably still give it a go just because I love XCOM so much but goddamn way to loving fire a full clip into even my relatively low expectations.

Yeah, the leaks and such really did it a disservice by making everyone think it was Marvel XCOM when it clearly is just more of a board-game like card strategy thing with a heavily tailored narrative. Maybe it isn't even very replayable.

I still don't think it looks massively appealing but I'll give it a chance anyway. I wish they would just confirm XCOM 3 already though.

Several larger games have gotten delayed twice this year, I would venture a lot of it is due to post-covid struggles and possibly maybe (hopefully?) trying to avoid crunch.

Reviews are out. Mostly everyone seems high on the gameplay, but divided on the story. Depends on how into comics poo poo you are, because there's a LOT of it, apparently.

E.g. one review is describing a whole 10 minute long superhero book club scene. Hope it's well-written!

The way the Skillup guy is describing all the story scene as pointless faffing about with discussions about yoga and fishing and being buds just makes me think that's the exact kinda poo poo I want lol. We'll see if it actually pans out, I can definitely tell that they didn't prioritize dynamic animations here, so maybe it gets a bit too visually dry, but it still sounds like a fun romp like the GOTG game.
