Graphics get a pass, anyone think this could be good?

Not a clue. The question for me will be if it's my cup of tea. I would want more combat and looting, less crafting/building.

My concern is what do they mean by "meaningful crafting"? Sounds like potentially no loot drops, but rather crafting materials drop and you have to craft your gear. Could be good or bad. Could be good in that you get to craft stuff specific to your class and build with less RNG trash generated. Could be bad in that it's grindy or difficult to find blueprints you need. Not a lot of answers from this article.

Checks a number of boxes for me. Looking forward to learning more.

The art style is appealing and the graphical quality looks good in the video. On paper, the features are interesting. The two huge flags for me are "physics based combat" and "meaningful crafting".

Both physics based combat and meaningful crafting are subjective and contextual. For me, this kind of combat can be hit or miss depending on how it's implemented. It can be inconsistent or have strange quirks and behaviors. Meaningful crafting is wide open to interpretation. No info in the article about what either of those mean, but there was a short moment in the video when we saw objects flying around smashing into things.

It's coming to Xbox, so if there is a demo or it hits GamePass, I'll try it out. Unfortunately it looks like it's only going to be published on Xbox console and not console/PC which is a big negative for me personally.

It looks like it's Xbox for console only, not Xbox for PC and console.

Edit: What I mean is that on the Xbox platform it is only going to be sold on the console and not Xbox for PC too. I get that it will be on Steam, PlayStation, and other stores.
