Nudity aside*, the combat looks like it has potential. It's hard to tell purely from trailers without hands on, but at least they show it and it looks reasonably fluid.

*I have no issue with it, but I'm not buying a game for it.

I'm really hoping it's another fast-paced slasher like Nier/DMC. Or even that it might do something new with the genre.

I care about the visual aesthetic but there I'm already sold. The sexy/not sexy, nude/non-nude question doesn't bias me against or for a piece of media. Here the enemies, environments and animation that I've seen have all been impressive.

Oh yeah, I like the look. The enemies look good.

I'm just not interested in buying a game unless I like the actual mechanics. Anything else is secondary (animations count as mechanics for anything real time to me). Nice world building and characters are a good value add, but if combat isn't satisfying it can't rescue a game for me.
