If you see the image below without any context, what would be your honest opinion about it? That it looks like a modern game? I can't imagine many would think it looks good -- in fact, I'd say it cheapens out whatever product they are releasing, especially one that has been highly awaited. And thus a harsh reception is not surprising.
That it looks good? The only real issue there is Barry's model that need some details worked out. Same with Dawn's (face look a tad unnatural) and Lucas' (model feels too plastic-y). Though in the battle with the camper it looks a lot better. The only major issue I could call it out is with the overworld, and how some of the characters feel like they don't fit in, like Lucas when Dawn is arriving to Jubilife.
