What did leaked open-world RPG combat footage make you think about the feel?

I just saw that leaked gameplay snippet for the new open-world RPG, and the combat looked so stiff and weightless. It’s got me worried the final game might feel like you’re just swinging through the air without any impact. Has anyone else who’s been following the leaks gotten that same impression from the footage?

I felt the same after a quick clip. The hits land but the body doesn't push back and the camera feels a bit loose, like the world is busy but the strike has no weight.

A friend pointed out the clash sound lacks weight and the impact feels thin even when the sword glances a shield.

I re watched the clip and paused on a hit to line up the animation with the sound, and I came away unsure if the problem is the animation loop or the physics engine.

Could the real issue be feedback rather than motion and would that change how heavy the hits feel?
