Emm... played about 90 minutes of this and don't see any problems so far. In fact I am loving the game, artstyle, endearing characters and dialogue that is completely FINE and even kinda realistic given the setup. In fact, I think it's kinda endearing. The beginning is a bit of a tear jerker and I am positively surprised.
I barely started the game but cmon now. I've encountered the bad famous cringe moment and it was absolutely fine. It would've never stood out to me if not for the tweets. In fact, the characters and story are very engaging so far. Like... people really hang on to the "bad writing" and I just don't see/hear it. The characters are more interesting than many other games so far.

The game looks great too minus terrible FSR breakup and flat shading in a lot of shaded places. Shadows also are very simplistic. But overall it looks pretty good. This is not a bad looking game people! What is wrong with everyone. I am taking a lot of screenshots. I like how it looks.

I mean... this is bad graphics now ?! What are we doing with this industry people? Do we really want to smash down and creativity that is left here?! Do developers really need o spend 10 years making every game or it will get bashed into oblivion because it got some flat shading?
Yes - I absolutely agree it is surprising the game has some graphical drawbacks compared to even FF XV but it still looks good. The assets quality, effects, foliage and art style is very good so far.

edit: granted, this only the start of the game. It might still turn very ugly and bloated open world trash. But so far the feelings are very positive. Shame I have to go to sleep :p

I'm not as harsh as to say this game is ps+ tier. I think going into this year in the 2023 games thread i said it was a 33-50% off buy and I'm sticking to that. If it hits $40 i think I'll pick it up.

The graphics are not bad… they are fine… just not well a showcase.
I didn’t see anything bad in writing but I’m not playing it so take that with a grain of salt.
What out me off was the gameplay… I found it too unresponsive, I mean you turn and aim to hit in some direction and the hit goes to another one… and the control setup even being different was not good in my opinion.

That last screenshot is the most hideous thing I have ever seen.

You should be ashamed of yourself for showing such a disgusting screenshot on a site like this.

One thing that screenshots don’t show is hdr. It’s gorgeous. Really makes the game look even better
