For the love of God, XCom2 and many similar, newer tactical RPGs run on my PC just fine but this won't even start. Please don't tell me the graphics are so sophisticated that this is justified... According to gameplay videos on youtube this game should have a lot lower sys requirements than XCom2. I hope things will be optimized in the future resulting in lower VRAM requirements and such.

The fact that you're talking about system specifications (without even saying what you're using) rather than what actually happens when the game fails to load is most likely the problem.

What does optimization and VRAM requirements have to do with your game not starting?
Figure out how to solve your problem, stop just assuming that you know what you're talking about and come to a conclusion, you obviously don't, and I'm not saying that to be mean.

If you wanted actual help, you would describe in detail what happens when you try to open the game, and what you've tried to do to fix the problem. Is it just a black screen? Does it crash during a splash screen? Does it do nothing? Are you using galaxy or launching from the exe? Does it give you an error?

This isn't how troubleshooting works, I don't ask you 4000 questions to try to figure it out, you eliminate the questions by giving information, by actually making an effort before you post.

Am I supposed to open up 20-30 tabs troubleshooting possible solutions when you have given 1% of the information required? So I have to work 100x harder to troubleshoot your problem, because you're giving 1%?
