Nice start, a lot of these issues are more tuning issues that can be easily ironed out before launch, especially since early access won't hit Xbox until 2025 so it probably has a near year of early access, Lol. Difficulty can be tuned before launch which would help with some bosses being unfun to fight, a bit of the repetitiveness and grind.

They can easily add more lore into the game and make dismantling gear less tedious. Online issues can be fixed, as can the key binding and rubber banding issues. Adding in local co-op and matchmaking is obviously a bigger task but surely possible before full launch. Enemy and level variety are of course the biggest tasks cause that's making entirely new content but maybe they're keeping stuff out of the early access.

It's a nice start which will only improve. Looking forward to trying it out on Xbox and hopefully some of these issues are ironed out before the Xbox EA...Thinking about it, I kind of can't believe it has no matchmaking, that feels like a huge oversight for a game like this which is so heavily about co-op, Lol. There's no way it won't have matchmaking at launch.
