Gameplay Overview

A huge step back from World's visuals, but that's not surprising considering it's on the Switch. Most of the hills look like big rock outcroppings with the green painted on (maybe it's set in China), and there's little plant life compared to World's lush greenery. At least it doesn't look like a PS2 game I guess (I was still half expecting it to look like one lol).
Looks like they've doubled down on the verticality with the addition of a glorified double jump, wall-running and what looks like BotW-style climbing. There's also a new dog companion/mount that follows you into battle alongside those cats, and what they said about stamina suggests that maybe you can control them whilst mounted, which would be nice. The mounts added in World's Iceborne update were basically a taxi service.
Still not seeing blood though, which is a shame.
