Cliff Bleszinski, the creator of the first three installments of the series, who is not involved in the development of the new game, shared his opinion.
Bleszinski's main complaint concerns the enemies. In his opinion, the Locust fighters in the shown video die too easily and do not look dangerous enough.
These Locust die way too easily. Just an observation.
The developer noted that monsters should feel more resilient due to thick skin and heavy armor, and the hit system should better convey their strength and resistance in combat.
At the same time, Bleszinski generally spoke positively about the project. He praised the visuals, technological progress, stated features, and emphasized that the game retains the spirit of the classic installments of the series. He also highly praised the work of The Coalition studio and called the project promising.
