My first run just ended against the first boss, there was no way of winning that one. There's a lot about the game and it's systems that are unclear to me.

Get accustomed to putting your cursor over the boss and seeing what their skills are. Some only work in x range or if you move next to them and so on.
For the first boss, the adds grant him shields that expire over time, so it's a good idea to wipe out the adds and wait for the shields to fade.

I killed the minions with one Daughter left and the boss went fucking berserk and I couldn't keep track of what the hell happened as it obliterated her.
Still waiting for the increased text size patch but really itching to get back into this on PS4.
They just put out a hotfix patch today on all platforms increasing UI text size.

I've been underwhelmed. Barely even played it since some bugs have yet to be fixed nor QoL enhancements implemented. The developers bit off more than they can chew. From what I can tell, the Switch port isn't exactly a disaster but it seems like all hands are currently on deck getting that closer to the other consoles in terms of performance/visuals on top of getting it caught up with the other consoles and PC patch wise.

Its super frustrating, I love the GAME but not all the janky framerate, hiccups and small (but frustrating) bugs, really hoping for a patch.

Might dive back into this since I've seen notifications for a few patches on my PS4 lately. Anyone else return to it lately?

Was just about to post that. Another mission type does tempt me to return to the game and try to finish it

New content is nice but I just want bug fixes and QoL improvements. The devs have no idea what is happening in regards to enemies sometimes spawning as "invisible" last time a dev chimed in regarding that on Discord.

Apparently some persistent bugs like enemies sometimes hitting sisters beyond their attack range weren't addressed by the latest patch. This shit should have been early access. T_T

Just started playing the game today and I'm really enjoying it. Feels like 2020's Mutant Year Zero: an XCOM-esque game with it's own twists that kinda came out of nowhere. Surprised it wasn't talked about more.
