I watched the video and what they showed certainly looks impressive. The level of detail in actions, variety of gameplay, immersive first person perspective, and visual details all look good. I hope the game looks and plays as good as what's shown and actually releases sometime soon, but I'm not holding my breath. Even if you ignore all the baggage the game has, gameplay trailers to games still in development are lies more often than not. I stopped following the development like 8 years ago, now it's off my radar until it actually releases.
I'm expecting another 1.5-2 years on the release for this. They've announced it's feature complete and moving to the polish stage. That where they will fix bugs and ensure gameplay functionally feels correct.
Considering the number of chapters they had announced in the roadmap I imagine they have a lot of have to cover.
