Additional work spent on the game following the completion and implementation of basic design, usually applied to the visuals in the way of adding lighting/water/particle effects but also to tighten gameplay for a more seamless experience. The combat is pretty fucking tight, and the character models can give Square Enix a run for its money.

You're easy to please.
Lighting, water and particle effects, are perhaps: the cheapest part of game design and development.

The games animations are, well: they are not anything to brag about.
Character designs are pretty uninspiring, and pretty low quality.
Monster designs are trash.
The combat looks to be: mediocre at best.

The boss spends 90% of its time with its feet inside the ground, and 10% of the time gliding along the floor.

The fading to black for a fifteen second long cutscene is pretty lazy and not something a polished game would be doing.
"to tighten gameplay for a more seamless experience"
Seamless, sure.

No amount of "polish" would change a character design or monster design. That's a design decision and not really something that's "touched up" or improved in polish.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

This looks great. The animations are fluid, the combat looks interesting. There are not many hack and slash games this generation. I'm looking forward to this.

I have never seen a game look so smooth. Gameplay looks epic. Never heard of this before now.

I think you're being a contrarian just for the sake of it.

If this is indeed the work of 1 person this is nothing short of mindblowing. Sure, the sound effects would need to be reworked and there's a lot more that could be done with the enemy animations to make them feel more believable, but for what it's there I would say even Dark Souls bosses can be jankier than this boss.

Besides I'm pretty sure I saw on the corner the info of this being a work in progress.
