There are no additional difficulty options since launch but if you can get past the early stages things tend to level out. Just getting a second and third silenced weapon makes a huge difference.

Finally got my copy today. Only booted it in handheld mode so far and holy hell is that a nice pixel soup. The twitter/YT compression didn't do it justice, must be be resolutions in the low triple digits with how chunky it is? Either way, I still find it actually quite playable and tolerable in handheld mode. Obviously not ideal but no reason not to get this version.

I've been on the fence on thia one foe quite a few weeks. I have a PC, Ps4, and a Switch that i coukd play this on but am drawn to the Switch's portablity.
How playable is it on the Switch? Is it as bad as c4itical outlets would lead you to believe?
Perfectly playable. Just not pretty. The only thing I've seen that remotely affects playability is that sometimes the pickups can be difficult to spot.

So I have a problem with the expansion on Xbox One. I own it, when I go to the store it says, "You own this product", "Product Already Installed", but when I go to the game, I can't start the new expansion, it says "Buy Seed of Evil" on that banner on the upper left.
I tried installing it again and again and again but nothing helped. The problem is when I go to Manage Manage game & add-ons" and go to "installed" list, there is the only base game. If I go to Ready to Install there is nothing there and it says "Check for Digital Purchases. We couldn't get them just now"
Tried restarting console many times, no help...
For everyone who wonders, of course, I own it, I redeemed my code earlier Today.

If you read a few posts before yours, this is a known problem that they claimed to have fixed but clearly haven't. There's no solution. Contact the devs/publisher.
Here's their latest comment on this:
Btw almost all of those complaints on Twitter are from the guys who bought expansion but they were playing a base game from Gamepass. I own Base and an Expansion, that is why it was strange to me.
3.4mb update just came out. It reminded me of those .exe updates like 10-15years ago.
And it is working :)

It's the worst looking Switch game I've ever seen in handheld mode. Everything is a blurry mess. Dunno if they will make improvements, but I wouldn't recommend it in the current state.

New Steam and Switch patches are live!

The day-1 patch already fixed that. There's footage in the OP. Handheld mode still has reduced effects and is lower res.
handheld shots, click for full-size. post most recent patch
left: handheld - right: docked
That's weird. I bought it way after release so I would have that patch. I'll check it out again (and look closer at those screens once I'm not on my phone), but my guess is it was improved maybe but not fixed.The day-1 patch already fixed that. There's footage in the OP.

The day-1 patch was for docked mode only, though. If you only play handheld then it probably won't do anything for your specific complaints.
I only play docked. :P
On computer now lookin' at those screens. WOW it was REALLY bad before! Guess I should be thankful haha. Docked screens still look a bit smeared, though, and it looks even worse in motion. Maybe that's just a style thing and it's the same on PC? I dunno. I'm not a fan.
OP

Well if you're just looking at the screens, consider the twitter compression adding a bot of messiness on top.

Yeah, but it's indistinguishable from the shimmering of the gargantuan pixels.

dunno it was fine for me so far. not perfect but I can tell what is scrap loot and what isn't.
I've only done a couple of missions, but it was a real issue for me. I found some scrap and some items, but that's by constantly checking everything, and always being sure that I've missed some. That's literally my only complaint.
OP
OP
I've also not done much but the little twinkle stood out enough so far. I'm curious if that changes depending on the environments.
Just finished the game on Xbox Game Pass. Ran poorly at times. Had a few crashes. And a terrible sound glitch on one (thankfully small) area on the last level.
But what a game. Had a blast. 9/10.
I think I'll go ahead and buy the physical Deluxe Edition to support the developers. Very much hoping for a bigger, more polished sequel.

Hi, can someone please explain how the enemy health bars work? What are those shield-like icons on the right? Why can I not empty their health bars in one shot, even if my weapon does enough damage? Why does it seem like they require a finishing shot? Is it something to do with armor, or crit, or both? I'm still early in the game, getting to grips with the fight next to the downed helicopter. I had it down but the game crashed on me (Switch), not for the first time... Thanks!
OP
OP
A "shield" icon in these games generally refers to cover. You should've gotten a tutorial pop-up about full and half cover in the second combat encounter on your way to the Ark.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Looking around and playing a bit more, it seems the icons I was referring to are actually indicative of armor worn by enemies, which is added to their health bars.

This is an interesting game but it does not quite hit the xcom itch for me. I actually did not like the stealth mechanic in the end and there seemed to be emphasis on leveling with a sort of grind component to it. Just came to a weird place where I would need to backtrack just to progress... but it got me playing xcom 2 again... lol.

some more bug and crash fixes for the Switch version:

still a yes, if you've looked at the OP and, for example, post 74 and go in with that information.
Sorry, I was confused by OP. Saw the pre/post patch pics but then saw the not impressive POST PATCH IMPRESSIONS (v2.0.22675) response and wasn't sure if that was the first patch or not as it wasn't numbered.
OP
OP
that was the day-1 patch and specifically about handheld mode only. I removed those impressions since they're fairly outdated and vague by now. The videos and screens speak for themselves, imo
Yeah, sounds like it's pretty low-res but the game itself is still worth playing. I had a ball with it last year.
Started playing this on the PS4 Pro a couple of days ago and I'm having an issue with the audio dropping out all the time. Seems to do it mostly when you enter a new area but it does happen elsewhere as well. I've made a video of the issue. Did anyone else have this problem? Not game breaking but it is annoying when it drops out when there's dialogue between the characters.
