Looks fun, except for the fact that - to me - old man etc - your character gets easily lost and blends in, same with what is background and foreground "stuff" vs badguys / interactions - I get the visual style, is well done and looks great...but maybe I am just getting old...well I know I am, sad...
edit: I kinda jumped my first watch to the latter 1/3 of the trailer-- the first part on rewatch looks better at keeping things noticeable, it must have just been the JJ Abrhams lens flare light diffusion stuff that hurts my old man senses.

Played the demo a few months back and it felt pretty mid. Story was pretty boring stuff for the bits shown in the demo, and combat was very basic with the dodge/parry stuff but with warnings so it's super easy. I was interested cause it had Flashback vibes but had no interest after the demo. Maybe the story gets better after the demo stuff but I doubt the gameplay does.

I played through the first chapter and its kinda boring. Barely any real gameplay or combat except "run right a lot". Maybe it picks up later, but I just can't stay interested.
Probably better off watching someone else's "Let's Play" video.

Yeah, the combat doesn't really change much. You get a gun that charges up by whacking people with the baton form, and pickaxe that is both for platforming and for heavy attacks to break the armor on a new type of enemy. Beyond that it's the same 'yellow = parry, red = dodge' mechanic from the beginning. I'm in chapter 3 now and it's really not all that engaging. The Ch.2 quests in the town hub were the basic run slowly jog and fetch variety. I'll probably stick with it a while longer, but it's really not what I expected. Glad it was on Game Pass at least.
At this point I'm more interested in the other game that dropped unexpectedly today, Thaumaturge.
Edit: Also, the whole time I'm playing I constantly feel like it should be on a Switch in handheld mode rather than a 65" TV. The pixel art really does not lend itself to being massively increased in resolution.
