It doesn't look clunky at all. In fact it's smooth as butter.
The problem is that it's completely and utterly generic. Like some executives came up with a list of generic features, handed the list down to developers and told them to make a game based on those features and nothing more. That demo looked entirely devoid of any creativity and originality. Compared to this, The Force Unleashed looks like a masterpiece.
I was interested in it. but not now anymore. combat looks bad, game looks too easy, level design are non existence and all i see is you are walking in just straight line and no room for exploration.
The game isn't going to be linear. The developers have said that they were inspired by Metroid Prime. Their combat is also supposed to be inspired by Dark Souls and Bloodborne.
Protagonist Cal Kestis uses the idea of careful timing and "thoughtful combat" to look for openings where a quick lunge will do the most damage. ----- Outside of combat, Fallen Order has been inspired by Metroidvanias and Asmussen says that the development team "looked at the structure of Metroid Prime closely." The game won't be "exactly like Metroidvania," but the idea of using upgrades to allow access to new areas at certain points of the game certainly seems to have been explored, and will echo Cal's growth as a Jedi.
The problem is, none of this is actually shown off during the demo. The only time the player is in danger is when they stop to show off an effect or something. And the Demo is incredibly linear. If they took to time to properly show all of this off, instead of leaving it to articles most won't read, the game would probably look better. They didn't put their best foot forward, which is unfortunate since I've been looking forward to a good single player SW game. The game doesn't come out for a few months anyway, so they've got time to recover from an awful first impression.
