I was really excited for a new Firaxis game, but this seems unplayable in its current form. Crashed on the first launch, 20 minute load screen on the second, into opening cutscenes playing out-of-sync with the audio, into stuttery garbage through the tutorial. Quit and refunded on the second loading screen.

I don't care that the graphics are so simple, and I can ignore the microtransactions, but its unacceptable to pair all of that with these kind of technical problems on a big-budget launch. Hoping there's some major performance improvements in future patches, and I'll reconsider playing in a few months.
