Update: And right after I write this article, I encountered a bug that really screwed with my gameplay experience. Like I said, I haven’t seen anything game-breaking yet, but I hope Firaxis can squish some of these problems, because they are blemishes on what is otherwise a very polished experience. My soldier and the enemies are moving in slow motion, while a scared citizen and flapping birds are moving at full speed around them.īut there was a time when I couldn’t perform an action I wanted to (luckily just opening a door) because the button was unresponsive, and I found myself locked on the promotion screen once as well. My favorite part of the this video is actually the background action. Fortunately, the majority weren’t detrimental to gameplay, but awkward and jumpy animations were pretty commonplace-as seen in the GIF above where my Sharpshooter took a few seconds longer than expected to line-up his Overwatch shot. Granted, none of them were disastrous (and Firaxis does have another month to iron stuff out before launch) but I was surprised by the frequency with which I encountered bugs.
