The music wasn't very good. Had to pause the video to make sure there wasn't some ad in the background running but sadly there wasn't.

Has good art but nothing else compelling.
 
This is the one with that racist community manager, isn't it?

 
Looks beautiful and fun. The music doesn't do it for me though. Sounded poorly mixed and doesn't really fit with the rest of the style.
 
It looked good, but a game like that needs to run really well…and I didn't see that in trailer. Maybe once they optimize it before release.

Yup, that one!
 
Looks kinda cool. I hate that I now have a stigma about seeing black characters. Automatically I'm like "🤬 woke bullshit!" They don't even have to be a lead. Look at that woke character😡. Not sure if it even has to be a game at this point. Look at that woke cashier.
 
I like the lower frame rate of the animations, really works with the art style. The regular FPS drops the trailer had sucked, but I'm going to be playing it on PC so I'm not worried about that.
 
I really dig the art direction and setting. Although the stop motion-styled animation feels a bit too aggressive and jarring for an action game.
 
I'm almost the same, I find it very hard to watch yet that other game 'Mixtape' has stop motion like animation and looks great, no problem watching that one
Might be because the trailer had FPS drops on top of the lower animation rate. Eliminate the FPS drops and lock to a stable 60 or higher and it should be fine.
 
Looks great but need to see more definitely.

This isn't healthy.

The claymation style and inspiration is clear as day, hence the "choppy" animation. Whether or not someone is into that is up to them, but I genuinely dig the look and flair of this game.
 
The voice actress slipping out of faked southern accent while self monologuing really bothered me. Wasn't really impressed with the game play elements shown either.

That's pretty terrible

You had that bookmarked, right? You were dreaming of this moment to repost it :)))))

Hard pass. Gaming sure is saving me lots of money now on things I would have otherwise been all in on.
 
This game caught me by surprise, I like the art style and gameplay looks sharp. Looking forward to trying it out. And the character makes sense considering the game's southern location.

Unlike AC Shadow. So damn stupid.
 
The actual gameplay looked cool, it runs smoother than the cinematics which is jarring but they are still trying to mimic that effect to a degree.
 
Art was fine.
Stop motion in cut-scenes is fine.
But no one likes jittery motion in gameplay.
They need to take it out of the gameplay.
 
No interest in gameplay at 15fps. Same reason why I wouldn't play a poorly running Wallace and Gromit game, it does not work well for video games.
 
Looks cool, I'm digging the music. I agree with others there tho, the animation bit is a stylistic choice and I acknowledge that, but it is a bit off-putting in gameplay.
 
Looks great in cutscenes due to the stop motion artstyle but in actual gameplay it looks kind of generic. The disconnect is quite jarring, still looks interesting.
