Seem like this has RayTraced, Shadows, GTAO, Motion Blur and Depth of Field. At least from what I can see it's configuration files. Not digging the big ol' warning during start up that they are never going to update this demo... that kinda low key stupid, but whatever.

*edit* Also lets you use FSR-FG with XeSS, which is kinda nice.

Alright played it though... combat system is pretty fun, so is the weapon crafting system and the little world they let you run around has plenty to explore. Note, all the non-boss enemies re-spawn every time you die or rest at an Anvil. Also... massively helpful to craft stronger weapons.
 
I'm pretty tired of Souls-like mechanics in games like this. Died once and lost my crafted weapon. Not sure what would happen if I died again... But I did get it back and got to some boss that was (of course) mostly impossible to beat. Crafting/forging better weapons makes sense in that case.

I like the combat, and noticed holding RT would change fighting styles for the sword (slashing or piercing).

Also, it's hard to un-remember the muscle memory of hitting RB after a successful block (Elden Ring).

I give it a 6/10 so far.
 
Yeah, I had to pop into the pause menu and check the control dozens of times before I go the hang of it. The weapon your using when you die, drops to the ground.

Also... worth going full link style and smashing all the barrels and etc to get iron, coal and etc for forging.
