Textures could use some polish...

Specifically the areas around the coast with seaweed. The blending there is pretty jarring.

Overall I am sorry to say I am not really impressed by the new zone, visually. It feels... tiny. Also, the color palette is bland and washed out. Rocks and land forms are pretty flat, or have really low res looking textures. Compared to Summerset, I feel that zone was much prettier, and larger.

The volcanic vents seem sort of context-lacking and out of place. No steam cracks, no disrupted tectonic earth, just a random hole in the ground with lava. The jungle area was my favorite but also pretty washed out looking. Needs more shadows, details, and architecture with a "vibe" of uniqueness, like you can imagine encountering this rustic place.

I don't really know what to think at this point. Just over a month from release, it is what it is I guess.

EDIT: Also I don't think I saw a single new monster that wasn't just a reskin of an old monster. The closes was the volcano lizards I guess.
