I got in about 2 hours or so with the game, that's probably all I'll get to play til tomorrow. Pretty happy with things so far!
I like that you can return to your house to change any aspect of your character's appearance. You can select a different body/gender, different skin tone/face, different hairstyle/color, and switch out all of your clothes and accessories.
I spent most of my time trying to familiarize myself with the amps system, and seeing what all my character can do while jumping around and running all over the place. There are rails pretty much everywhere for you to grind on, and cars and other 'bouncy' items that you can trampoline jump off of. You can run along walls and swing around on lightpoles as well.
Ammunition is limited, so you have to collect ammo boxes that occasionally drop from ODs to refill your weapons, or else go and see this guy called Two-Hats that refills your ammo in exchange for Overdrive cans.
In my brief exploration of the first area of the city, I ran into just as many Scabs as I did ODs. One thing I noticed is that the streets aren't literally filled with enemies like in DR3, at least not so far, but the ODs will chase you and climb up buildings after you. ...So it is also important to grind and run around just to stay away from the ODs, because they are threatening up close.
Amps are pretty cool. If you grind and bounce off of stuff for a bit, you'll gain access to a new tier of powers. Stuff you bounce on can cause explosions, you can launch fireballs with your physical attack, and stun enemies with lightning-based ammo, among other things. So when you're facing tougher enemies, you'll want to find lots of stuff around the environment that you can grind and bounce around on to unlock the higher-tier powers.
The graphics are looking just fine so far. But idk, I was never one of those people that was bothered by non-cutting-edge graphics to begin with. Looking forward to playing some more!
